Whidbey Island Fair

Our family loves taking the ferry over to Whidbey island.  It seems like such a nice getaway so close to home.  This past weekend we had decided to go over and then realized our plans coincided with the  Island Fair.  We hit the beach first and then made to Langley just in time for their parade. It was perfect - small, quaint and they threw lots of candy.  From there we made our way to the fairgrounds and filled the kids full of carnival food (corn dogs, fries, shave ice and elephant ears!)  The kids loved checking out all the animals but the highlight was the rides.  Believe it or not this was our kids first time on amusement park style rides and they loved it.  In true form Sam was nervous at first and needed a little push but had the best time and is still telling us he wished we could fit a ride in our backyard.

Cole loves the beach!

Look a bug!

The Langley parade - so cute!

Eliza loved the horses

A couple lovely ladies joined Cole for his ride.  He loved being their chauffeur.  


 Sam loved being behind Cole and the girls...shooting them with his gun.  Geesh.

 Look at this face - this kid means business!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Packing for 2010

We have started collecting our Olympic gear in preparation for our trip up to Vancouver this weekend! The last Olympics we attended were the Calgary '88 games (Drew even preformed in the opening ceremonies) and we can't wait to be back on Canadian soil celebrating the big event again. Even though Sam is too young to really appreciate the Olympics, we are excited to show him the sights and get lots of pictures so he can look back and hear some good stories. At this point, our gear is ready and the funny thing is Sam has the most Olympic stuff out of any of us! Our family has worked hard to make sure that Sam gets a little piece of Canada even though he is not living there. We know that if Sam grows up in the USA, no one will need to teach him to enjoy his country, but since Canada is so much a part of us, we want to make sure he learns about that bit of him too! So in a few days we will head North and cheer for the home team. However, maybe we do need to get a little piec...
