A Visit from Addison

  The first week of July we were fortunate to have our niece Addison come visit from Phoenix.  The girls had such a wonderful time playing together, and we had a lot more fun than we usual do for sure.  We went to two different parks, had lunch at McDonald's and played there, visited the Cougar Mountain Zoo, went cardboard sledding, jumped at the Flying Circus, swam at Grandma and Grandpa's community pool, and did a little cruise of Lake Washington.  We ended our great week with a cook out at Brad and DeAnna's.  Addison was such a joy to have up here.  It was sweet to watch her excitedly meet baby Benny for the first time.  We love Addison and the girls were bummed when she went home.

Addison and Emery look like they are having the time of their lives while Harper is laying down in the fetal position.  Avery is toting her sled back up the hill.  She wore her helmet pretty much the whole time.

Harper and Emery thought they were going to battle it out but they were too heavy for them to lift.

Someone took this great pictures of some of the parrots.
