Aunt Laverne & Uncle Charlie come for a visit!!

Please scroll to the bottom of this post and read up, i put the pictures in backwards order and i've not time to go back and re do it all. You understand, right? A day at the Seattle Aquarium.

Here we are enjoying a lunch at Pike's Market at the Chowder house. And yes, (its October or was October and we were eating outside). The October weather was really fabulous this year!

On our way home from the falls, we hit the Issaquah Salmon hatchery. Aunt Laverne & Uncle Charlie's visit timed perfectly with the salmon returning to their places of birth to spawn. We really enjoy watching the huge salmon run up stream. The Chinook and Coho salmon are what we were watching. Here they are strolling through a garden right next to the hatchery. And Lilah loves to be swung by her arms. And yes, yes, I know it can pull her arm out of the socket, but we don't sweat it as much when we know we've got Bill at home who can put it back together without a trip to the ER. Things to be grateful for!

The first day we took it easy on them and let them recover from the long flight from GA. So that afternoon we took our first sight seeing trip and headed to Snoqualmie Falls. The falls are taller than Niagara falls, but not as wide. This is a picture I shot in the park right next to the falls, I thought it turned out great!

Here is Aubrey Jane saying hello to Uncle Charlie the first morning after they arrived late the night before. I love this picture. Aubrey Jane is just looking at him so intently, almost as if she's saying, "And so we meet again." Uncle Charlie did lots of holding of Aubrey Jane while we were in GA for 3 weeks with Papa's passing, so these 2 old friends were getting reacquainted.
