We've been busy!

We were very busy while my parents were visiting. Here are the pictures to prove it!

Addison went to the Puyallup fair twice this year! Grandma and grandpa took her to see her favorite cartoon characters, the Backyardigans. She is obsessed with them at home, and was so excited to see them in person.

Checking to see if grandpa has any boogers..YUCK!


The monkey show


Addison just had to have this giant pink popcorn ball at the fair. She thought it was great until she realized how sticky it made her hands. She hates when her hands are dirty!

Dad and I rode on the sling shot chair at the fair. It was quite a ride!

We all got to enjoy fresh crab straight from the ocean


Addison absolutely goes CRAZY for grated parmesan cheese. Here she is enjoying every last powdery crumb!






Enjoying some milk at Mt. Ranier with her sunglasses on, of course!

Trip to Whistler and Vancouver B.C.

Nathan, Addison, my mom, dad, and I took a trip to Whistler and Vancouver B.C. last weekend. It was a first for all of us, and we all agreed that it was beautiful. Definitely a must see! Even though we couldn't ski, we explored the town and rode a gondola and chairlift to the peak of Whistler Mountain. We were also able to see some of the sites for the 2010 winter olympics that will be held in Whistler and Vancouver. Look for more pictures soon!

Super model!








A view of the chairlift that leads to Whistler peak (7,081ft). We were nervous about taking Addison on it, but she loved it. She's our little dare devil.

Finally at the peak!


All of us at the peak.






This is a large Inunnguaq sculpture. The Inuit people used stones to create human figures. This was a huge one on Whistler peak. This is also a symbol for the 2010 olympics.
