Ferry Ride to Seattle

What a beautiful ferry ride over to Seattle!!! the glare was really bad, so that's why all the squinting. So pretty out there on the water, and no.... the pink blanket does not have a baby in it. :) It was Lizzy our dog, the wind was cold so .....OK you can figure out the rest of the story.

The Port of Bremerton

The guys wanted to take a tour of an old Navy ship. Pretty small living quarters they said it held 133 people. Yikes the only word that comes to mind is claustrophobia!!! To see the rest of the pictures click HERE

Ingenius Me

This is a song that Jacob and Sammy composed for Chelsie's Graduation that we went to in Glendale, Arizona. Can't let it only be played once, :) so thought I would post it.
My boys........they love to tease her!!!

#3 Sammy's Piano Recital Recording

#2 Jacob's Piano Recital Recording

#1 Caleb's Piano Recital Recording

The next three posts are going to be recordings from the CD the boys' piano teacher made of them playing, at their yearly Spring Recital that they perform at Willamette University.
This is the only format I could seem to use to be able to post my own audio files.
First will be Caleb, followed by Jacob and then Sammy.

Ballard Locks

First of all the pictures do not show justice to how interesting it was to watch this ship go through the locks. We happened to get at the locks at a perfect time as a huge Coast Guard ship was waiting to go through. It was amazing the people on the ship were above us and then before long they were below us. It took quit awhile for the water to lower, so we talked to the crew introduced ourselves and talked to them, found out where they were from etc. Definitely a place to return and visit again.

Timberline Lodge

We took Grandma up to see the ski Lodge called Timberline Lodge which the elevation at the lodge is 6000 feet. They have two restaurants, one is a burger place and the other was very nice sit down restaurant, they were serving a brunch that was delicious!!! My mother really enjoyed the history rooms about the how they built the structure!! I hear they serve a fantastic Mother's Day Brunch also.
It was about a two hour very beautiful drive up to Mt. Hood. Defiantly want to go back and enjoy the beautiful scenery and food ~
