Getting away from the heat

June was an exciting month full of family and fun times.  After life calmed down from the wedding and Father's day we had some family come to visit us in Seattle.  Jacquelyn's Aunt Vivian, Uncle Brian and Cousin Kirsten came all the way from Singapore just to meet her. And her Granddad and Nana flew up from Texas to spend time with all of us and to escape the blazing Texas heat.  We had a wonderful time seeing the sites of Seattle and eating some great seafood.

She looks like a little super hero here with her bib on backwards.

While we waiting for Viv, Brian and Kirsten to arrive we did a little sightseeing.

Here is a great picture of Jacquelyn with her Dad, Granddad and Nana at Snoqualmie Falls. 

It was such a pretty day we spend some time enjoying the nice lawns and gardens that surround the viewing area of the falls.  Jacquelyn decided to show off some of her walking skills (or should I say attempt at walking) around a park bench.  She managed to get her self in some flowerbeds so Mark had to rescue her.  Here is he steadying her next to the bench in a safe mulch free zone.

J is exploring some of the more historical features of the falls.

Then it was off to Lighthouse Park in Mukilteo. 

We had a nice relaxing time at the park, enjoying the cool breeze, watching J play in the grass, eating ice cream and loving the sounds of J laugh as she rode around on her Granddad's shoulders.

We had a great time with our family as we toured around Seattle.  We were to busy having fun that I forgot to pull out my camera a number of times.  I hope to add more to this post later of J and her Aunt and Uncle. 

I was able to capture this picture of Kirsten with her little cousin while we were enjoying the botanical gardens at Ballard Locks.  

Thank you so much to our family for coming out to Seattle to see us.  We had a wonderful time!
