Summer approacheth

The most beautiful time of the year in Seattle is .....SUMMER. It's not even June yet, but we hope summer is here early and stays for a while. We decided to cruise around Makoto's old neighborhood in Edmonds. Such beautiful views in Edmonds as well as a beach with acutal sand, not pebbles. But the water was freeeeeeezing.

Alderwood mall has really upgraded and it is nice to have a small playground for the kids indoors.

Summer = playing outside.

Klair has learned to blow dandelions and loves to help bring color to our nice green lawn ;)

May has been very pleasant this year in Seattle. It started out with a lot of rainy days, but we also have enjoyed some beautiful weather. Trampolines are always a neighborhood magnet for kids.

A little break

This was our little break from the ordinary. It was kind of a belated Spring break / Mother's Day / 3-day middle of the week vacation. Mom & Dad has a time share that needed to be used up by June, so we booked a quick 3 day vacation to the closest place we can find....and it was Birch Bay in Blaine WA. Never been to Blaine, but it was a nice hour and a half drive to have a little get away time and spend time with the family.

The 2 bedroom unit we rented was very nice.... 2 Bedroom with a formal dining room, Chef''s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, gas cook top, granite counter tops and maple cabinets. Newer carpets with hardwood flooring, large master bath with walk-in closet. French doors takes you to the patio with tremendous views of Birch Bay. Located close to all amenities, must see to appreciate...(Just practicing for real estate)

We took a quick 30 minute drive to Deception Pass. It was rainning and windy but we enjoyed the spectacular view from the bridge.

We walked on the beach. The beach was very calm and gentle. Kids enjoyed finding diffrent kinds of sea shell and crabs.

"Our three girls are loving and caring. They make me happy and bring laughter to me everyday! Thank you for the lovely cake" Love, Mom.
