Pictures from Portugal

Alex sent some pictures from his p-day! Here is what he said in his email:

"Today's p-day was pretty sweet. We went to this Palace that's now used as a hotel. We just hiked around and saw some really awesome stuff. I took some really sweet photos. Some of which I have included in this email."

Hot fun in the Summer time!

I hate to say it out loud cuz it might jinks everything. We have had so many days of sunshine that I have lost track of when it rained last. Yeah!!! It feels like a real summer here in Washington. I will have to start watering my lawn tonight. Here are a few pictures from a picnic we attended last Saturday.

Washington State - Heaven on Earth

If you are a new resident to WA you might think all it does is rain. But last weekend the secret came out. Washington is heaven on earth. All the rain makes our landscape green and the flowers plentiful. On Saturday, we went to the Puyallup Farmer's Market. It was fun to be out in the fresh air with no jackets on and soaking in the sun. Here are a few pictures:
