Misc August Fun

Sean's sister Erin and her two boys had a long layover in Seattle on the way flying to MT, so we met them in downtown Seattle for dinner and a quick tour of Pike Place Market. The cousin's started out with a lot of love....

Sean Patrick with his fish.....

We couldn't have had a more gorgeous day in Seattle for their visit....if you look closely you can see Mt Rainier in the background.

Walking to the place we had dinner along the waterfront.

The weekend before we headed to MT for Molly's wedding we loaded up the bikes for a family bike ride to the park WAY down the hill in Issaquah. It was super fun going down but it was a LONG LONG LONG way up the hill home....but we all made it. Cute one of CR in the park.

Sean likely hauls >100lbs in kids/bikes with the two kiddos.....a real workout!

smiles from the rider up front.....

The rider in back is sure looking cool, huh?

Hopscotch in our park. No, it wasn't winter - it was like 75 degrees....B just wanted to wear his Seahawks hat.

Cool action shot, huh? if there is such a thing as a cool hopscotch action photo, I guess.....

Caelan's Modeling debut....

FINALLY got the disk of pictures from the photographer who used Caelan as a model for her outfits and backdrops......these were taken at the end of June....

Goofy "Little House" hat.....

A little goofy with no pants.......but the smile is cute.....

She fell off this log pedistal right before this shot was taken.

The blue one below is one of my favorites.....

On the way to MT - July 2011

This time we stopped in Spokane for the night before getting to MT. It was a nice break for the kids. Brennan had a blast at the Riverfront Park in Spokane.
And LOVED the splash park. Too bad we didn't bring his swimming suit to the park - he had to go to dinner after with wet pants. But, when you are a kid, that's not too big of a deal.

Cousin Madison
All the cousins helped me make Sangria.....don't worry, we made a non-alcoholic kid version too.

Snuggling with Madison

thumbs up at the carousel in Helena.

Fun with the Horses

Feeding the horses
This is my friend Lori, and her daughter. She and her family drove down from Great Falls to see us and they had a lot of fun with the horses too.

Striking a pose.....Grandpa brought the kids all water guns - they clearly had a great time with those.

Playing with cousin Brady's glasses

Cute beefy baby thighs....

She was literally doing pull-ups on the arm of this chair - her little feet were almost lifting off the floor. All in an effort to get it in her mouth, of course.

Bending over to get something. I thought this one was cute in B&W.

Asleep in the backseat -holding on for dear life as we drive down the gravel road to the cabin.

The crew playing the Michael Jackson Experience game on the xbox Kinect. So fun!
