Over Fourth of July my father was awesome and had us come out to visit. Every year he does a huge firework show at their friends house. It's right on the lake. It was very fun and very very good. I forgot to take any pictures that day so I'm sorry. I think my family has some pictures so there might be more later. We flew into Washington on Saturday morning and then spend the rest of the day exploring the State. Our first stop was downstown Seattle on Alaskan Way. There's a few funny shops and cool things to look at on the walk. The kids got some special candy that I used to eat when I was a kid. I love memories. Then we went to the arcade and the kids got to ride the Merry go Round and play some games. Emry LOVED the go round. In the picture he kind of looks like he's crying but really he's laughing uncontrollably.
This is us driving onto the ferry. I HATE the part where you cross from road to ramp to boat. I have a deathly fear that the ramp will collapse and we'll drive into the ocean.
We then drove North and showed Devin the big Boeing plant where all the planes have their final put together and painted. Then we took a ferry over to Whidbey Island to go to my dad's favorite park and ocean point. While we were waiting to get on the ferry I had to take this picture. It's of a honey bucket. Now this may mean nothing to most people but it's something big for me and Devin. Since we've been married I have always called outhouses Honey Buckets. Devin and his family looked at me like I was crazy every time. I explained that it was the brand in washington but I was still looked at weird. Well here's the picture and a big fat I told you so lol.

So this is the Captians part of the ferry. I took this picture because this is my favorite part of the Ferry. Whenever we have a newbie that has never been on a ferry, we take them to the front of the boat right under the quarters. Then we distract them and point out into the distance while another person toots that arm to make the captains blow their horn. Well we did this to Devin and scared him to death! It was hilarious. Though we scared the pee out of all the kids especially emry.
Goofy Husband like always
Emry and Sammie walking around Deception Pass. Sammie loved to 'Help" Emry. Though it usually ended up knocking him over. He had a very tough time walking in the sand.
Emry lunging to touch the ocean for his first time
Admiring the view. This was Devin's favorite part of the trip. He said this view made it worth it.

Devin headed home on Monday and I stayed until Thursday. My plane didn't leave until 7:30 PM but ended up being delayed about an hour and half so we didn't get into Salt Lake til Midnight. Emry was insane on the plane. For the first 30 minutes he screamed and cried and hit me. Then I gave up trying to get him to go to sleep and let him play. He discovered that he could climb up the seat so that's where he spent most of him time playing and flirting with the girls behind us. It was a very long night
But we made it back to my moms that night and then made it home to Wyoming on Friday. I was definately exhausted after the plane ride. We're saving up now so that My sister and baby Ryan can come visit us out here.
