End of April and into May in pictures!

This is from the airplane on the way to Detroit.  It makes me grateful for the beauty of the world God has created for us!

Fuzzy but Ryan being recognized for all his hard work.

All the doctoral candidates.
It was a team effort by this little family to get this far!

A great day-FINISHED! 

Grandpa and I took the kids to Lake Erie.  We found shells and a bunch of dead fish-go figure.  We couldn't believe how big Lake Erie is.  It was cold but fun!




 SEATTLE
Seattle-these flowers were so beautiful and everywhere at Pike's Market.  Just $15 for a bouquet.  I wanted to get some to put in our hotel room!

Fresh fish but VERY expensive!  Fun to watch them throw it around though when someone bought some.


We got 3 beautiful days here!  It rained only one day out of the 4 we were there.

This was a lighthouse in Discovery Park.  I still love lighthouses!

Ok.  This had to be one of the BEST things we ate.  Well not so much to beignets but the dipping sauce.  In the menu it said "chicory flavored".  I just saw others with the powdered sugared scones and wanted some.  But much to my pleasure chicory is coffee flavor so you can imagine that I enjoyed the dipping sauce more than the beignet.   YUM! That is until Dad said," Don't you feel like you are sinning?!"  So I had to stop:(

We laughed and laughed when we were in this "car".  Dad said he felt like the guy in the Simpsons that is large and driving a small car :) We rented it to go around on San Juan Island-so fun!
