40 Years of friendship- a visit from the Dehghan-Paz-Lopez family

 This weekend Irene, Roberto, Robby, Salma and Nadia came for a visit.  It was so much fun hosting the family and sharing our life on Vashon.

Salma loved finding ripe cherries to eat

Looking for ripe strawberries and enjoying the pineapple strawberries
No visit is complete without introducing the neighborhood sheep.
Enjoying a meal at Pop Pop.  Irene and Robby tried musubi.  
Oscar the Bird King always gets to meet our visitors.  Left to right- Irene, Robby, Nadia, Roberto and Salma in the front.
Making pizzas.  This is Salma, Nadia wasn't feeling well so she spent most of the time resting.  It did make it easier for me to tell the twins apart, however Salma would always laugh and say, "I'm Salma!" if I called her the wrong name.
Nice job Robby
Almost everyone is in this picture.  We are missing Nadia. Thanks for the memories!

Avery's High School Graduation

Vashon celebrates graduates by having a parade downtown before graduation.  Avery rode in style in a Chris-Craft boat being pulled by Scotty Mac's iconic green truck.  






























We are proud of Avery, he decided to go to Tacoma Community College his Junior and Senior year and earned his associates degree along with his high school diploma.















 
It was great having family here to celebrate Avery.  We were able to see the troll, go out on our boat, hike and play yard games.  Thanks for making the trip here, it meant a lot to all of us!

Bocce ball and corn hole
Thanks for bringing your wine Tony!  Keep an eye out for this wine when it hits the shelves, it's going to be a favorite.

Maury Island Marine park always has great views.
