July 2014 - Skov's visit

The Skov's all came to visit for a week in July.  Unfortunately, it was record-breaking heat for our area while Texas was experiencing a fairly cool week.  We've discovered that A/C in Washington doesn't quite work as well as A/C in Texas.  Of course it was only in the low 90's but it felt hot since we weren't used to it.

My parents arrived on Saturday night and Rachel was arriving on Monday so we decided to visit Remlinger Farms on Sunday since it might not be the most exciting day for Rach.

We started off the morning picking Raspberries.  If I remember correctly, I think the 5 of us ended up picking almost 6 pounds in just an hour.  I also had pictures of this but I'm not quite sure where they've disappeared to.  Ashley did not want to come with us since she had plans with friends.

Autumn is such a pro that she wouldn't
let me walk with her.

Waiting patiently for his turn

Levi was pumped to sit on the tractors.
He talks about his daddy's tractor in Texas all the time.

He was sooo happy to drive his daddy and mommy around.

Autumn drove Grandma and Grandpa

The roller coaster looked entirely too bumpy for a preggo mommy.
Thankfully Grandpa rode with Autumn and David rode with Levi.

After Remlinger Farms we drove to Snoqualmie Falls to eat our picnic lunch and check out the waterfalls.

During the rest of the week, we visited Seattle, Mt. Rainier and went hiking by the Snoqualmie Pass and on Cougar Mountain.

Levi was upset with me because I wouldn't let
him venture out as far as Ashley & Rachel

Rachel is in orange close-by but that orange shirt further out there is Ashley

We ventured into this water and it was freezing!

Levi found a different pig

First time he's fallen asleep in a stroller since he was a baby

It's more interesting to watch the boats come in and
cross over form the ocean to Lake Union than I anticipated
