We started out the weekend by going to the Strawberry Festival. It was record highs this weekend with temperatures pushing close to 90 which is so rare here, but we enjoyed the time at the festival.
We watched the parade on Saturday morning despite the heat.
On Sunday we went to a car show. There were some really cool foreign cars. My favorite was the Citron but the kids loved this Lotus.
All ready to take off!
We stopped by the O Space for a crazy game of mini golf. The holes were cleverly crafted with everyday items but in the style of Vashon which means artsy and quirky. The most impressive hole was the one that had 6 golf clubs spinning. It was a game of timing on that hole.
The Thriftway was sponsoring free train rides around town. The driver ended up being from Appleton Wisconsin. He travels around the country in the summer driving the train at festivals.
We had an amazing game of soccer with the boys against girls. The boys won 8 to 6.
During the soccer game, Venus went wild! We thought she was cheering for us until we noticed a raccoon enjoying the compost pile in the woods. He climbed the tree and watched for a while!
We are on our way to hide Avery's first geocache.
It's hidden and ready to be found!
Papa was putting transmission fluid in the van and Avery was very interested in learning about how a car works. Papa took the time to explain and point things out.
It was great to see Papa relaxing and enjoying a book!
On the bus and on our way to the Space Needle and Pike's Place Market.
We ate lunch in Sky City which is the restaurant in the Space Needle. The food was fantastic and the view was amazing! The inner part of the restaurant revolves once every 40 minutes so we were able to view all of Seattle without getting out of our seats. We learned the Space Needle was built for the 1962 World's Fair and it's 605 feet tall.
Enjoying street art in Seattle.
It's always fun playing with Bama.
We played lots of fun games when they were here, the kids didn't want them to leave.
Thanks for all of the memories! We love you to the moon and back!

We had the time of our lives. The games were alot of fun and your suppers were delicious. I loved our hikes even if my legs got tired. It was so worth it. Now I need to find some hills for me and Zoe to climb in cuba city. You are such an awesome and down to earth family. The kids are very blessed to have you as parents.
