Ireland

We're in Killarney tonight, probably going to stay a couple of days. I'm tired of driving, and this place looks like we could hang out a couple of days. Tonight Gary and I went out on the town by ourselves to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We're still madly in love with each other......for the next 99 years. still having a great time. going to do a few more castles then we're spending a day in Dublin, something that wasn't planned from the beginning.

We love you all, and will blog with all the details when we get home.

Hello from Ireland

Hello to all our family. We are currently in a town called Tarbert having tea, sandwiches, and Irish Whiskey with some relatives of my fathers. The people are cousins from a family that travelled by boat to the United States before the civil war. Very nice people.....and awesome to hear about their growing up. I can fill you all in when I get home. We are finally caught up on our sleep, and the food is treating us pretty well. We went on a boat today to travel to an island, only to come back with (30 foot waves Angela says) 10 foot waves Gary says knocking us around. I think we almost capsized.....I was ready to swim.

So far we have had lots of Guiness Beer and Irish food.......which I need after driving all day on the wrong side of the car, and on the wrong side of the road. The roads are only wide enough for two cars the size of Volkswagon bugs. there are noooooo shoulders. it's a little crazy.

well i will write more, but we are doing well, and we love and miss you!

Trip to Seattle

So here was our itinerary. Hunter and Bri arrived in Seattle on Thursday at 12:15 am.....and both came out of the plane happy as clams......even though everyone was worried they wouldn't. So we got home safe and got sleep. The next morning we all woke up and headed to the beach. A very long trip since Hunter had just spent 12 hours on the road to his All-Star baseball tournament, then 12 hours back and 4 hours to the Denver airport. He was tired, to say the least, of driving. But it was fun....and when Bri finally figured out what the ocean was, we had a blast. The kids walked in the ocean, looked for sea shells and, wrote in the sand. The best part was that we flew a kite. Not the one that is just one string, but the one that has two strings that you have to steer. Bri and I needed help from Hunter to keep the kite in the air......We had a blast!

The next day we went to do all the sight seeing adventures. We went on a cruise around the Seattle waterfront, went to the aquarium, went up in the Space Needle, and played in the Science Center. There was so much to do in one little day. We had Taryn and Jake go with us so that I could have an extra couple of eyes to watch the little one (Bri).

I needed a nap the next day, so we just sort of hung out. Did a little climbing at REI and watched a couple of movies. Clementine got a lot of exercise. She sure loves her little cousins. They play a lot more than Gary and I.

Today we went to a water park. There were rides and slides and all the stuff kids love. We're going to have to go back when they come back to visit. Bri needs to grow a little taller to do all the fun stuff.

We have had a wonderful time. I miss them so much in my every day life. I wish I could see them every day and talk to them, and watch them grow. I hope they grow up knowing that. Like I told them today, THEY ARE MY FAVORITE!!!

Navy Blues

Last weekend was what we call SeaFair weekend in Seattle. It's the big weekend when there are hydro boat races and the Blue angels fly over every day. On Saturday, we got to go down to a friends' boathouse and see the Blue Angels....Thought you might enjoy some pictures.
