Orcas Island Pictures




Here are pictures from Orcas Island.


Orcas Island Anniversary Trip

We celebrated our 31st anniversary by taking a trip by ferry to Orcas Island, Washington. Orcas Island is one of the San Juan Islands. We took our bikes and went biking. We loved the view from Mt Constitution, we could see for miles and miles. We stayed in a cabin in a place called Doe Bay. We did see lots of very tame deer during our stay. If you want a quiet vacation in beautiful surroundings we recommend it highly.

Labor Day at the Beach








We spent Labor Day Weekend at the Oregon Coast in Ocenside, which is west of Tillamook. We stayed in a really nice 3 bedroom house. The weather was beautiful!!! Steven is demonstrating how to spend a vacation, notice the view from the windows. I drove my car very close to my son-in-law's car so I could touch hands with my grand son Jared. We both thought it was fun to do. We had a sand building contest. Both sand castles were eventually destroyed by the waves, but they were great structures while they lasted. We had fun playing games and enjoying time together.

Our son Russell graduated from Western Washington University June 13th. We drove up to Bellingham, WA to see the event. It was wonderful. We were very proud. He was honored to graduaute magum cum laude.

May 2009







We are enjoying the spring season. Our garden is all planted and some of the stuff we planted earlier is growing. We have enjoyed bike riding. We got the bikes tuned up and we have had two different 8-9 mile rides. One bike ride we enjoy is along La Camas Lake, a gravel path that is 7 miles round trip and then another 3 miles to our house. We had grilled steaks for dinner today Yummy! We celebrated Mother's Day with a call to our missionary and a visit from our daughter and her family. Don't I have a cute grandson?

The easter egg hunt











I am posting a picture of my brilliant grandson Jared. We "hid" plastic easter eggs for him to find in our backyard last saturday. Hope you enjoy the picture. After the easter egg hunt we walked to the new park near our house. We are excited for springtime. I love spring in the Pacific Northwest. It is so pretty. The flowers are from our back yard.
