I think these might be the last pictures I will post about our Washington trip


My brother-in-law and his daughter--a cute daddy-daughter moment.
All the big kids coming in from playing in the ocean.

More "sandcastle" building.

I do have one picture I'd really like to post, but won't. It is of the three little girls in the bath together. Grandma still has the Fisher-Price bath toys I remember playing with when I was little. (For all the cousins out there reading this, they are the boat, the barge, the helicopter, and the cargo. She only has one person left though.) Back then, all of us little cousins would take a bath together, play with the bath toys, and then watch The Muppet Show before going to bed. Seeing the next generation of little cousins in the tub was cute. Too bad there was no Muppet Show to watch afterward.

On a side note, it was a little strange to be on the opposite side of things at Grandma's. I vividly remember trying to go to sleep in the white living room while the grown ups played games and laughed in the dining room. Now I was one of the adults laughing in the dining room. The little girls got up several times to see what was going on. Their parents were a little upset that they got out of bed so much. But what else is a curious little girl to do?

I wish we could have been there too to celebrate the 4th. I miss all of you but it was so good to see you at Korbin's homecoming.

Hey Ben and Alison,

I just wanted to let you know that I am "borrowing" some of the pictures off your blog. We didn't take many of the trip. It was really nice getting to you see you guys. You are always welcome to come visit here in Seattle! Take care.
