Kirkland, Issaquah, and Enumclaw.

 We had a leisurely morning. 

An egg decorating spinner.

Ivan with his bus Halloween costume. He "drives" around making a lot of bus stops.

We left the house at 9 am. We went to Issaquah to see the Thomas Dambo troll

Jakob Two Trees

Nathan and Ivan played hide and seek.

Ivan never did find Nathan.

Then we headed off toward the Thomasson Farm. Along the way we stumbled across a kayak race, we decided  to watch the race.  The kayaker had to go through the gates in a certain way.  It was fun to watch.

Roman and Ivan went on a little train ride.

Roman really didn't fit.

Nathan doing bubbles

I took a turn.

Nathan went to buy donuts.  We could watch the machine make the mini donuts.

Corn instead of sand

Dorothy and Ed shooting baskets.

This was harder than it looks.

Nathan is trying to get me prepared to do the luge in the Alps.

The gang

Just as we were leaving it started to rain.  We went to Il Siciliano Restorante for lunch.  

Sicilian flag

Most of us ordered pizza.  We could watch them make it.

It was all very good.  

A memorial to loggers

Then we headed back to Madeline and Roman's place.  Roman drove one car and Nathan drove the other.  We got back to the house about 3 pm.  

It had stopped raining so we headed to a close park after playing a game of Uno. 

It started raining again so we headed back.

Nathan helped Evan with the Brio train tracks.

See the bus stops all around the tracks.

Ivan pulled out his doctor kit and was trying to fix Nathan.  Luckily Nathan survived.

Ready for dinner.  Madeline made tomato soup, perogies, sausage, and salad. 

Ivan wants to play 10, 9, 8., but it was bedtime for him.

Kirkland, WA

 Dorothy (George's sis) and Ed were going to Kirkland to visit Madeline, Roman & Ivan for a week.  So we decided to join them. I had planned an earlier lunch get-together with my 2 high school classmates.  

Emmy, Vivian, and me

George and Nathan were attending the protest march downtown Portland.  The protest was very well attended.

 We left our house about 3:30 pm on Saturday.  Nathan drove because Rebecca would need our car while we were gone.

Mt Hood as we were leaving.

We stopped at a rest stop so Nathan could make a work phone call.

Mt Rainier 

Dorothy and Ed's plane coming in to Seattle. (Maybe).

Going through Seattle.

We arrived at Madeline and Roman's place around 8 pm. 

Cool climbing play structure.

 Roman had gone to the airport to meet Dorothy and Ed.  They got here soon after we arrived.  We had dinner right away of salmon, salad, mashed potatoes, and cornbread.  It was all very good.

Dorothy, Ed, and Ivan with the dessert.

We played a round of Uno.

Ivan won (well he won 3rd place).  Then it was bed time for Ivan. Actually it seemed to be bed time for everyone.
