Pictures From When My Family Visited

Hey guys. I was going to do two posts today: this one, and one about how miserable I feel (I have a really bad cold). But I feel so yucky that I just don't have the energy to type two posts. So here is my post about my terrible cold AND my post with the pictures. Enjoy! (Enjoy the pictures, that is. Don't enjoy my cold, please. That would just be mean).

Here are a few random pictures from the week of my mom's and Elleah's and Kiera's visit.


I'm really surprised she let us go this far. She doesn't like stuff on her head (including hats).


She loves Art.


Whenever we went out, we had to put adult mitts on her hands to keep her warm, because we didn't have any mitts her size. I thought it looked really comical.


We took Chuckanut Drive from Bellingham to Oak Harbor. It's the scenic route, and even though it takes a little longer, it's so worth it.


We drove through Oak Harbor on our way to Seattle. This is Deception Pass.


One of my favorite views in the whole world.


From Oak Harbor, we drove down the island to take the ferry to Seattle.




This is at Kerry Park.






The Space Needle.


Kiera thought this was funny, and so did I. (And that's me in my new jacket. I'm glad it makes me look so fat. Geez.)


Art doing his job.


The Peace Arch at the border. You can see border construction happening in the background for 2010 Olympics. I'm scared for how crazy it's going to be.




Kiera was super enthusiastic about this particular photo op. And you would think I had never seen the sun a day in my life! Pale skin much?


She would fall asleep with her face in her zipper, and wake up with these lines on her face.


Art took us to Whatcom Falls Park one day. It's not far from where we live, and yet, I had never been there before that day. It's really pretty.










Kiera really enjoyed it. (No seriously, she did). She liked being pushed along the bumpy trails.


We found a duck pond. And I took pictures of ducks for some reason. Like I've never seen a duck before.






This is in downtown Bellingham. This is the same place where Art and Joe did their CrossFit "Fight Gone Bad" workout.


Okay, I saw this tile and thought it was so romantic. Most of the bricks on the ground in Bellingham Square have various names on them (I'm assuming the names are of people who made donations to build Bellingham Square). And some guy out there decided to use that opportunity to propose instead! I love it.

Most of these random pictures are mine, but I'll confess that I stole a few from Elleah as well. She takes such good pictures!
