So Long Sweet Summer

We had a great summer with lots of great memories made including a trip to Alberta for a cousins wedding, a couple trips to Seattle (one with family and one for a Seahawks game), and recently we went to Kennewick to surprise Ruthann for her 50th Birthday which was so much fun.  We were also able to stay with Alan and Tracy, who have moved to Bellingham, for a night on the way down.

Although we had some hot weather this weekend, today the smell outside changed... it's smelling more like fall/winter and the temperature has dropped. We are supposed to have a colder winter so I am looking forward to skiing, but I will miss the sunshine and will be anticipating Hawaii in January after a week or so of rain! Here are some pictures of our summer adventures, starting with the Seahawks game (and they won!)

 We had great seats! Very cool!

We met up with the Thompsons in Seattle for Sam's Birthday and did all the touristy things, including going up the space needle!

 It was chilly on the cruise and I didn't have a sweater so Lucas got a Seahawks sweater so I could wear his - so sweet :) hehe

 At Stanley Park on our first anniversary - It's been a great first year!! We feel very blessed!
