We had a girl's afternoon at the Pacific Science Center while the boys stayed home and enjoyed an afternoon of football and Miss Lilah caught up on her nap. We had a really great time with Aunt Laverne and Uncle Charlie and they are already planning to come back next year.
They stayed with us for 2 weeks, which was a perfect amount of time. It gave us time to do lots of touristy stuff, but also just hang out at home with family time. Aunt Laverne is a great seamstress, so I made the most of time and got her working on Aubrey Jane's outfit for Halloween. Here's our model showing off her new hat.... can you tell what she's going to be? She's Toto from the Wizard of Oz!
Oma and Opa took Aunt Laverne and Uncle Charlie on their first visit to Canada on Opa's boat the Lucky Lady. Bill had to work and couldn't join us and the weather was a little cool, but it was a great trip. We spent the night on the boat in the Victoria harbor and made our way back to San Juan the next day, We had rough seas on the way back with picture frames and vases falling everywhere. I was never nervous because I knew I was in good hands between God & Opa, but I was feeling a little green. Poor Lilah even started puking. But Aubrey Jane was quite the sailor, just laughing as she got rolled around all over the place. Here they are posing in front of the Parliament building.
Here we all are waiting for the ferry in Anacortes to take us to San Juan. Thanks Mom & Dad for taking us, we had a great time!
Aunt Laverne and Uncle Charlie were great sports with all the new foods they tried. Here they are eating dim sum for the first time at Oma's surprise birthday party. They seemed like they really liked it, just needed a little bit more practice with the chopsticks. Practice makes perfect!
