Awesome August!!

Concerts, Family, Vacation... woo hoo. Bob and I kicked off the month with a trip to the Gorge for a concert. The next day we had a lovely time at Glen & Diane's and enjoyed visiting with all the extended Rice family. We enjoyed having mom and Bill up for the month of August so had a fun day with the Ross Family. They spent one week at a nice hotel with a pool. The kids and I went there every day to visit and swim. Amanda got a new hair cut to start off her 8th grade year and then it was off to Seaside Oregon for a fun family vacation!! We attended friend's Karrie and Eric's beautiful wedding at the Victorian Manor in Snohomish. Alyson took the kids for a day of fun at the Everett Imagine Children's Museum. And, of course, the cats were their cute selves as usual!!

Trip to Seaside, Oregon

This summer we ventured out of Washington to the land of Seaside, OR. The weather was a little rainy at first but turned to beautiful sun. We had fun visiting the sea lions at the aquarium, walking in the rain on Broadway, checked out the shops, rode the carousel, and played miniature golf. We ran into Rob Thompson (my cousin and Bob's friend from school). Small world, eh? The next day we had a sunny day and walked the Prom and played at the beach. The last day I got up early and took a very zenful walk on the beach!!
