Visit

Alana and Kristina came for a visit for a couple of weeks. It was great.

Here we are at the Japanese garden in Seattle.



We also made a trip to the top of Mt. Erie to see the view of the Islands.







Here are Amara and Ethan at the Children's museum in Mt. Vernon.




Then there was the birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.



And the art festival in Anacortes. Great fun!



Thanks to Alan, we also honed some of our culinary skills. These are mussels we picked up at the cove by our house. Alan and Cathy cleaned them and we cooked them on the BBQ with butter, garlic and broth. Mmmm!


We also caught three large Dungeness crabs. When combined with the seven our friends gave us, we had more than we could eat. Cathy made some crab cakes for the first time that were wonderful!
