We recently returned from Seattle and Vancouver and had a fun time visiting friends and family in the PNW. On our last day in Vancouver, the boys all climbed the bull statue and had a grand time.
Before we left, I tried to discourage the pesky backyard squirrels from digging up our herb bed, so I "planted" some forks. Alas, those squirrels were not deterred one bit and still destroyed my baby herbs! GRRR!
We stopped off first in Seattle and stayed with friends, Jan and Marie at their "farm." There were lots of kids around and many blueberries and veggies to pick. A great time was had by all.
Here is a small segment of their backyard, in full bloom.
We took a little hike one day, and the kids all had fun climbing rocks, and logs, and stomping through the creek with their boots.

Ranier was enjoying more than the story...
A special treat was meeting up with cousins Jeremy and Erin in Vancouver. It was raining that day, so we spent the afternoon in this incredible science museum.
While Ahrash conferenced downtown, the kids and I went to the aquarium. It was WAY too crowded for my taste, but we did see a baby beluga whale and a dolphin show!! It was very cool--the boys had a blast.
Watching the dolphin show.
We stayed with family, Manijeh and Hooshang, and Dahrius had a lot of fun playing catch with Hooshang and Cyrus. Ranier even played...
