a week in washington state: day 3 & 4

Day 3: Boating at a State Park. It was a beautiful day. We rided on inner tube and also did weight boarding. I am proud to announce that I got on the weight board after my first try. It was a lot of fun with everybody. That day was also a special day. Some very special friends of ours from Houston made a detour to see us while on their way to a wedding and finally met Eli! Thanks, Julie and Roger! We love you!

Day 4: We headed over to Seattle to meet up with one of San's sister Bianca. On our way we stopped at a waterfall. Then we went to Vashon Island and took a nice walk at one of the shores by a lighthouse. It was very relaxing. I wish we live close to the ocean. Eli favorite activity was throwing rocks into the ocean.

A little bit of sightseeing on our way of our long drive to Seattle.

At Vanshon Island ...

An outlook at the majestic Mt. Rainier. I only wish I have a better lens to capture it.

a raft arranged by some woods that were left on the shore.

some unknown sealife I spotted by the shore.

hitting daddy is one of Eli's recent favorite thing to do to daddy.

Eli found a cool stick to hike with.

some shore founds on the island. I am making this into a watercolor painting. I will post it when it's finished.

We ended the evening on the Island by treating Grandma with her favorite cuisine: Chinese food.
