family visitors to our new home

These are my photos of the time with our T family.   It's really nice to have the beach within walking distance.  It was April, and cold enough that we wore coats and hats for those beach walks, but warmer weather now means we can shed the layers.

Monster sized iced teas!

 it was really convenient to have a minivan so that we could all ride together.

got some fun Pacific Northwest fabric to make a quilt.  these gentlemen were patient while I shopped.

 Nana says e has an eagle spirit.  the eagle symbol signifies courage, wisdom and strength.

always fun to visit colorful Pike Place market.

it's always windy on the front of the ferry

 

we were excited to show everyone our forest park, which is also close and fun for after-school walks.

the flamingos might be my favorite animal at the zoo. zookeeper brought out some new little ones and all the others moved en masse away, seems they were trying to get the new little ones used to the group. but all the regulars were shy of the people. the flamingos and other birds seem happy and to have enough space, despite the enclosures. 

we tried some gluten free and dairy free dishes.
