Washington, Our Home!

We had a great vacation in Washington. We went to Robby's house first, and then Lily and I went up to my house in Custer. I love this picture of Lily with her "papa," Grandpa Hammond. This was the morning we left. Robby went on the slip and slide. He was already wet from pushing his mom and his nieces and nephews down it.
Grammy and Aunt Beckie with Lily and Torrie. They both have on Winnie the Pooh pajamas. Lily's are Emily's old pajamas, so we didn't plan it.
Lily loved crawling on the slip and slide. She wouldn't go off, though, because she was afraid of the grass! Where we live the grass is NOT soft like it is in Washington.
All of the grandkids with Grammy and Papa. The dog, Mozart, also wanted to be in the picture, but he was getting a little too close to comfort to everyone, so we had to put him in the garage for the picture.
Lily with Uncle Steve. Lily has decided that she likes him. The last time we saw him she'd cry any time he went near!
Grandpa took Lily on lots of walks while we were home, and she loved it. She loves the waterfall, especially.

Janica and Kacey met us in Seattle so that we could see them while we were home. It was so good to visit, though not nearly long enough.
The water is on the other side of the brick. Lily loved standing and watching it go down. I love my yard! I even got to eat blackberries and tomatoes, peas, and beans from the garden. YUM!
We went to the Seattle Science center and in the butterfly exhibit one landed on my dad. He stayed there for the longest time. We think it must have liked his green shirt.
We went up to Artist Point and Heather Meadows up at Mt. Baker. I love walking around this area. It's always so pretty.
