Vicky came to visit us this July. We decided to play tourist the first few days. Here is Julia in front of the “gum wall” at Pikes Place Market. It really is getting quite gross. Lots of people were chewing and then putting their gum on the wall. It is very colorful though.
Pike’s place market was a zoo, really we couldn’t walk through, so we decided we needed some cheap margaritas in the sun. After that we went to the locks and fish ladder. Both fun things we hadn’t done in a while.
It was super hot most days. We thought it would be nice to rent some boats down on Lake Washington. It was fun to paddle around and be out on the water.
Another weekend we went up to our cabin. On the way there was a fundraiser event. We stopped and let the kids ride the horses. We came away with a yummy blackberry pie as well.
Uncle Kelly had his birthday in July. We all headed down to Longview for a little early birthday celebration. It was another hot day, but we managed to have fun and enjoyed Ava and Olivia as they are quite the dancers and singers of “happy birthday”.
Ava and Olivia are still super cute and fun. My girls still love love their cousins and just can’t get enough of them! We all slept over in longview making lots of fun in the morning as well.
