deremerblog: Amanda's Visit

My cousin, Amanda, from the UK came to visit us for 10 days!! We had a very nice time hanging out doing every day things. We did manage to do some sight seeing as well. We have been so lucky to have her come visit us 3 out of the last 4 years!! She left us to visit my aunt Wendy & cousins, then she's settling in Australia for a while (lucky girl!) I miss her so much already but wish her nothing but the best! Love ya Amanda.

We had a dinner for my dad's birthday and to welcome Amanda.

Bubba and his girls!!

One afternoon we drove up to Mt. Baker! The weather wasn't perfect but we had fun anyways!

The mountain.

We ventured on out to Snoqualmie Falls with my dad. The falls were beautiful like always, but they are doing major construction so you couldn't do much hiking.

Checking out the view!

A little misty.

Sweetness!

Danielle, Amanda, my Dad racing down the ramp. It was quite a push coming the other way. :)

Cheers to 4 pretty girls!

We spent the night at Kimmy's and had a great time catching up.

Hurray for Cousins!!

On our way home, we decided to drive to Deception pass. It was the perfect day for it!!

Had to stop for one of these shots. :)

From the beach looking at the bridge.

Skipping rocks OR at least trying to!

Our way up, we had to stop for a breather! I was really proud of Danielle for walking up the steap trail without whining or asking to be carried.

The grand fanale of her trip was to go whale watching. It was a soggy start but the weather got better as the day went on... it was a nice boat ride but unfortunately we didn't see any Orcas but we did see another kind of whale.
