Seattle Trip and a 4th Birthday

Tom and I are back from our visit to Seattle!

We kissed grandchildren.

Went to the beach.

Celebrated a 4th birthday.

Hugged family members.

Watched Trey at karate practice.

Went to two concerts.

Had our annual Doctor checkups.

Visited with high school friends.

And now we are back, resting!

💗💗💗💗

This is Scarlett wearing her 

tutu that I made for her.

She wore it to her birthday party.

She even wore it to bed that night, haha

(And I'm guessing she is still wearing, it today.)

This is my brother helping Scarlett

on a rope line, during her party.

 

It was a bit chilly but a fun outdoor

birthday party.

Our sweet, three, Seattle, grandchildren.

Trey, Scarlett and Huxley

So Many Celebrations... So Many Pictures

Tom and I just returned from a trip to Seattle.

Boy, did we celebrated!

Two Birthdays!

Stephanie, our daughter-in-law, received the

picnic blanket, I made for her birthday.

Trey celebrated turning 4!!!!!

We gave him, his very own shovel, rake, hat and work gloves.

He is really into dirt.

He went right to work, digging in his play area.

We also, celebrated with Trey's friends and family

with a party for him.

Todd and Steph bought a blow-up slide for all

the kids to play on. 

Perfect for this very HOT day!

One of the days, Tom and I got to babysat,

 while mom and day went to work.

Hot tub, Bonfire, walks to the "Club House",

 (otherwise know as the grocery store for a cookie)

and snuggles. 

Just couldn't get enough!

LOOK WHO IS WALKING!!!!
We celebrated this moment!

 Scarlett took some of her first steps

while we were there!

In this picture, Papa is dragging Trey.

It's a fun thing, that they do together.

We visited and celebrated
my Aunt Bobbie's new home.

She now lives with her grandson and is so happy!

We went out for a seafood lunch.
(Really miss fresh seafood)
On our way back to Seattle,
we rode on a ferry boat.

Ahhh...fresh, salt water air!!

Tom and I went to our annual, concert at a winery.

We joined hundreds of others, waiting in line.

Another evening, we walked around Redmond and celebrated, Night Nosh.

There were  a variety of food trailers with live music and dancing.

It's always fun to go "home" and visit with family  

and the friends we left behind.

Seattle / Redmond, will always have a place in my heart.

We are home now and enjoying the end of summer.

Looking forward to Fall!

Trip - Part 3

Trailer living is great but

three and a half weeks is

a bit much.

Tom and I made the best of 

the situation, in our true form.

We ended up having a lot of fun,

and on top of that,

 being with our grand kids. 

The Penny Lane Condo

doesn't have a washer and dryer.

So, here we are at the laundromat! 

Don't feel bad for us. There are several 

Starbucks within walking distance!

We didn't have TV or WiFi.

Again, don't feel sorry for us.

To watch our beloved Seahawks, we

dropped in at the local hotel.

We had front row seats.

This hotel also has free WiFi,

So, Tom would sip on a cup of coffee,

 while sitting in the lobby to 

catch up on his emails

My favorite place in the whole, wide world 

is Carillon Point, in Kirkland Washington.

It's a must for me, when we visit.

Especially, on such a beautiful day like the one we had.

My friends helped us out so much!

Anita let me read from her library.

(I stayed up really, late one night because

 I couldn't stop reading!)

Another friend had us over for dinner.

We brought along our bikes.

Pure joy to be riding on the bike paths

 and the streets

of Redmond, again.

Tom bought us tickets 

to an outdoor concert.

We didn't know if we would be going,
 but baby Scarlett arrived a day before the event.

Tom likes to arrive early and people watch, 

while reading the newspaper.

I on the other hand, enjoy the leisurely, 

four miles, bike ride on the trail.

I usually arrive just in time to enter into the venue.

(We saw Mark Knopfler)

Our last day in Redmond,
 we cleaned out our teen, tiny refrigerator.

Oh No!
What do we do for food?

We go have the world's best clam chowder!
Waterfront views, a beautiful sunset, and a big, hot,
 bowl of clam chowder.

The only thing better is.....

holding Scarlett and

being with Trey!!

to be continued...

(a surprise ending)

Got home in time to harvest

the rest of the tomatoes

and cucumbers -mmmm
