Tae's first half of summer

It's been a busy summer so far. Grandpa Rod and Grandma Sharie came to visit, Tae and mom took a quick trip to California for a wedding, Tae spent a week with his Uncle Pete and cousins Alisha and Tayla in Bellevue, we spent a weekend in Seattle, and got out today for some beautiful hiking on Mt. Baker.

Since he's out of school for the summer, Tae is spending Tuesdays with Uncle Mark, Wednesdays with friends Darby, Kate, and Liam, and Thursdays and Fridays with friends Becky and Alec. Fun times with great people!

Here are some photos and videos of our summer adventures:


Tae put on quite a show for Grandpa Rod's birthday and led the party! And he got to stay up waaaaaayyyy past his bedtime, too.

Tae even got to steer!

We spent a day at the Space Needle

Contemplating the view from up top...

Every time we see it, Tae calls the Space Needle "The Control Tower." Bet you didn't know that all of Seattle was controlled by the Space Needle....

Playing near the fountain near the Space Needle...this is just before he got completely soaked!


We went hiking this afternoon on Mt. Baker to "practice" for our trip to Holden Village later this month. This river (the Nooksack) runs through Ferndale, but it's not quite as raging as it is on Mt. Baker!

Happy Summer!
