Family Visit


 Auntie Diana and my cousin Katherine came to see us.  I made up a new name for my auntie, Di YaYa! We went to Eastern, WA for some  fun in the sun!

 Having some girl time.  I really took to my auntie this time and let her hold me and carry me around.


Daddy took a couple of fly fishing classes.  He loved it and we'll be going back.


The view from our room.  There is a river that runs along the canyon just beyond the tree line.
We took a field trip to Roslyn where the TV show Northern Exposure was filmed
I spotted a flower I just had to have!
It was much harder to pull off, so K.T. helped me! K.T. spent all her time listening to me and playing with me.  We even took a bubble bath together.
 We finished the weekend toasting marshmallows at home in our newly renovated backyard.  This was the first time we used our fire pit.
This was my first S'more!  Thank you for coming to see us auntie Di YaYa & K.T.  I also got to ride the Space Needle for the first time. Out on the observatory deck, I held on to my pony tails as I was concerned that they would fly away.  
We had a great time with you and look forward to more family time together.  This was the perfect start to our summer.
