So, I'm going to copy my friend April's post...

Trip to Bellingham:

snacks and noise toys to keep Reid quiet on the plane.....check
Reid's special blankey......check
binki.......check
ID for all of us........check
camera...........

Dang. I forgot. Luckily my sister-in-laws are awesome and took some killer pictures for me to swipe off of their blogs!


We went to the NW Washington fair! It was really hot. I forgot how unfortunate humidity is.

Andrea, Kevin and I raced down the slide with our respective children. I'm pretty sure I lost by a lot because I was scared to let go.

We went to Lake Whatcom twice, and that was great. We swam, and canoed, and ate. Here Kaylee and Tasha are soaking Grandpa.

Reid and Nate's sister, Tammy

Reid and Grandma T.


Swimming with cousins Audrey and Allen.


The fair again. This ride was hilarious because Nate and Jeff didn't fit so well, and their airplane just sat there while all of the other ones went up and down. We thought it was because they were too heavy, but as it turns out there's a JOYSTICK IN THE PLANE that controls that sort of thing. Silly daddies!

Also, Andrea had an extra ticket to see Chicago perform at the fair, so we went. It was so much fun! I had forgotten that I really do like their music!

All in all it was a great trip. It was so wonderful to see family, and all of Nate's siblings were there, and that RARELY happens. We can't wait to go back!

Carlee you crack me up! Forgetting your camera, unbelievable. You should have used this as an excuse to permanently borrow your dad's camera.
