Last Stop

For our last couple of days, we stayed at an AirB&B by David and Susan's home and toured around with them a bit more in Bellingham. We had fun!

Dexter trying out the robs in our little apartment.

Admiring the view on the Chuckanut just south of Bellingham.

A beach along the way.

The Loch Ness Monster?

We visited a little town called Edison and then went on a fun walk along these farm/wetlands. Todd stayed here after walking a little while with us.

Hanging out on a old dock.

Album cover?

Home again. What a great time.

Back to the Mainland

After a couple of nights, it was time to head back to Bellingham.

 Maya and Dex want to be like Dad.

Heading back to the ferry with the trash.

Maya spends time back at David and Susan's house teaching Susan how to floss.

Having fun with these guys.

Island Fun

We had some fun adventures on Lummi Island.

When the tide is out, it's fun to look for beached crabs. This guy is just chillin.

I thought this crab was well disguised, but he was dead.

The cottage from the beach at low tide.

David and Susan took us to beach on the other side of the island with their grandson, Theo.

Having fun with Cousin David.

These guys are fun!

 We all were searching for treasures among the stones.

The kids were the only ones daring enough to jump in the cold water.

The smokey air and calm water made everything look quite eery. 

Fish friend.

Roots.

Maya and Dex hang with Theo.

The crew.

Pretty and slightly apocalyptic.

A boating expedition begins.

Maya and Theo out on the kayaks.

Catching crabs.

Paddle maniacs.

Lummi Island

David and Susan own a lovely cabin on Lummi Island which is right off the coast of Bellingham. David invited us to stay there for a couple nights.

Bellingham Bound

Today we packed our bags and headed north to Bellingham to visit Momma's second cousin, David and his wife Susan. 

 Classy breakfast-eater.

Hilarious hat on statue outside the hotel.

Wildfire smoke is becoming a far to prominent part of our lives.

Our awesome basement hideaway at Susan and David's home.

More Seattle

We had another fun day exploring Seattle (for the most part).

Hanging out at Pikes Place. We decided to try some Piroshkies.

Yum yum!

Next stop, the Great Wheel.

Dexter was nervous about the ride, but got into once we started moving.

Maya didn't need any convincing.

Above the city.

The amazing Seattle Public Library.

Checking out the inside.

We thought that high tea would be a great idea.

Maya was quite excited.

Beautiful.

Daddy is enjoying the treats until...

...both kids started feeling sick. Tea was sadly cut short and we ended up hanging in the room the rest of the night.
