Summer Time Fun

We went hiking on Mt Rainier when my parents were in town.

This is Banks Lake. Anne, Cindy and Katie. Annie was making fun of us in this photo. We thought we were pulling serious G's, but Anne is used to real G's on the tube!

The Folkman Dock on a hot Seattle day! TerriLyn was in town and we came over to spend the afternoon. The kids loved jumping off the top of the dock.

TerriLyn and I. Such great memories with that girl!

Katie and Julie. She came over to see us too.

Anne Solo Competition "Elegy & Habenero"

Anne's Solo/Ensemble

After Anne and her friends' solo/ensemble performances we went to Red Robin. Claudia's mom, Enjou, is from Korea and has an interesting story to her life. It was fun getting to know her better. Anne and Claudia did fantastic on their ensemble piece. The judge was blown away, she said, "Wow! I was NOT expecting that!"

Eliza wears this hat all the time and we can't see her face!

There were three parties, and luckily one was the Howlett's New York style and the other west coast style at the Fricke's. The kids went to the first party and then played at the Peays while the adults went to the west coast party. Abbie babysat the Richins and Anne went to the stake dance.

Kate planned the party of the year!

We learned from a professional Thai chef how to cook Pad Thai and curry. She worked at Thai Ginger for 9 years! It was an excellent evening.
