Washington State Visit

Carson and I took a 4 day trip to visit Abbey and Robert in North West Washington State. They live in a very pretty area near Olympic National Park.

We went to the Point of Defiance Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium. He loved them both. We also took the ferry to Seattle, also a big hit. We had a blast... it was our first vacation together and it was great.

The Point of Defiance Zoo was the first on our list. He loved it.


Here he is at the zoo, this is a great white jaw!

Robert is attending the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding. Here is a boat his class is working on.
Carson summited his first mountain, Mt. Zion. Here is a picture of Robert and him at the top.
Our ferry ride, Seattle in the background.

The aquarium had an exhibit where the kids could touch the starfish, sea cucumbers, etc. He thought it was pretty cool.

Bed Mates

When guests are in town, Isaac gets to sleep on his brother's floor on a thermarest. He loves it and feels pretty cool. Dave checked on the boys and found that Hank had taken part of Isaac's bed and fell fast asleep. Isaac didn't seem to mind!

Abbey's Wedding

My sister, Abbey, got married this month in the backyard of some of our best friends in East Glacier... in fact, near the house Dave, Carson, Isaac and I lived right before we moved to the Flathead Valley.

They boys were ring bearers and were adorable. Other than Carson dragging Isaac down the aisle screaming (no joke), it went great!

Here are some pictures that we took of the event!

This is a picture of Abbey, my brother, Adam, and I.

The ringbearers.... Carson and Isaac started out by holding hands while walking down the aisle. Isaac then decided that he no longer wanted Carson to hold his hand.... Carson wanted to stay the course. Isaac started pulling one way, Carson the other. Isaac hit the ground losing the tug of war, (ringbearer pillows swinging around) and got drug a short distance before the hand was released screaming at pretty high decibles. My mother had to go get Isaac and bring him up. Carson finished his duty with pride, smiling the whole way, I mean after all, it's Isaac's deal, right?

At the reception, Isaac found the keg and thought it was AWESOME to pour the liquid out.

This was pretty much him during the entire reception. Running and not staying still for 2 seconds.

We even got a rafting trip in. Here is our family with our new addition, Robert. Dave was transporting cars when this was taken.

Skiing during Oba's Visit in July

We traveled Going To The Sun road in Glacier National Park when Betty was in town. At the continential divide at Logan Pass, there was still a considerable amount of snow. Dave took his skis as well as Carson's. They hiked up and skiied down. Isaac, not to be left out, borrowed his brothers skis and went as well.

Betty was in town for a visit. This is a shot of us at the Flathead Lake Brewery in Woods Bay, MT.
