Saying good bye to Friends:

Rachel and I decided to go out to a beach that she remembered from her childhood in Poulsbo, WA with the kids (as our last fun play date for us all). It is a beach that had tons of sand dollars when she was a kid and it did not dissapoint. We laughed, talked, the kids ran and a huge bird flew off with a bag of my chips. I didn't know that birds could cary things that large!! It was fun and I miss the whole Snow family and the beach times.

Fun Time With Grandma Hutchins

Grandma Hutchins and Grandpa Hutchins had fun all week with 3 of their 5 little grand kid *monkeys. They had a ball.

White Sands Missle Range (2 hours outside El Paso Tx.)

Hello Again! So much has happened since my last post (sad that it was exactly 3 months ago!!) I guess since the last time I posted that my next big trip was El Paso, Texas. I went the day after I quit working for good and got to, among many things, see White Sands Missile Range. My mom and I took my bother Ben's kids with Jakie and I to go play on the dunes. Isn't it beautiful!!?

The City that we love!

Here is the seattle sky line from Alkai Beach. It is on the other side of the City with a clear view of the grey day that defines Seattle.

The Locks in Ballard.

We went to visit the boats come into the Locks in Ballard after we ate at the Lock Spot caffe. It is on the deadliest catch and here is where all boats must eter to meet the new water levels. It was pretty cool.

Dad and Katie come to visit!!

This is the fam visiting a crab shack in Northgate area. The food was okay, but the company was exceptional. Wish they could have stayed longer but we will take them as long as we can get them.
