Happy Birthday, Dave!

                                           Julia was able to come spend Dave’s Birthday with him. 

                                            We went on a walk that morning. Dan and Meg joined us that night.                                                      Happy Birthday to the best man I know!

Vacation to Seattle 2017

After Boise, Dave and I flew to Seattle to see James family.  

                                         One daye went to the Seattle Zoo, and I have to say it was my favorite of the three we saw that season (also Cincinnati and Boise).

Alek and Audrey really liked the animals and did really well walking around.

                                      It was out first time to see David Adam Meiners, Dave's namesake.

                                   Alek and Audrey both like to practice flashcard, and they know lots of words!

                                                         at the park near the petting zoo...

                                             Alek and Audrey both got their own pony ride!

                                 at the marina where the ferry comes...

                                      Tammy and James live very near the water.  Too bad the ferry wasn't running that day to the little island.

James and Tammy take the kids out often.  We had fun picking strawberries and going to several interesting parks and gardens to hang out with them and the kids.  And the weather in Seattle was much more beautiful than I had supposed.  I don't remember any rain at all.  It was a great trip!
