Seattle Trip

In August our family joined Grandma & Grandpa Leavitt, Josh & Leslie, Gerald & Val, Sarah and Jesse at Laramie's home in Seattle. We spent several days at Pacific Beach, playing in the water & sand, hiking in the green rainforests and enjoying eachother's company.

Emily plays against a tree with very cool pink polka dots.

Amy & Ethan

Ethan dares to grab a Star Fish. I'm not sure why he didn't hold it closer :)

Isaac was King on top of the driftwood stack that we claimed for an afternoon. The large pile of weathered logs blocked the breeze perfectly!

Ellie looks very sophisticated playing in the sand. Gotta love the sunglasses!

We HAD to get up early one morning and visit the beach during low tide. Needless to say it was very chilly out and we didn't spend much time combing the sand for treasures.

Sarah flew into Seattle from Arizona to join the family vacation. It was so much fun having her there! I love this picture of Sarah.

I also love this photo of my brother Jesse. He got himself sunburned early in the vacation and so he tried to avoid the sun from then on. I'm not sure how long he was able to hold this particular pose.
