Reunion - Snoqualmie Falls & Kirkland

On the way home from Leavenworth, we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. Just 45 minutes east of Kirkland, these falls are spectacular.

Legos are a fantastic toy. My parents started this set for their grandsons. Now a new generation is using them.

One evening we went to Houghton Beach Park in Kirkland. Our dinner was from Kidd Valley across the street. 

Even though the water was cold, two of the boys went in
Hard to resist rolling down the hill. If you look closely, you can see the Olympic Mountains in the distance. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between the clouds and the snow-covered mountains.

We love the outdoor sculptures in Kirkland. Notice the one in the cement - between our granddaughters. The granddaughter on the left is sitting on the "big person" sculpture and the other granddaughter is to the right of the "little person." 

Several times we had gelato - Yummy!

We went boating on Lake Washington. Some tried tubing and others did wakeboarding.

Good-byes

Joe does the Ray Pepper move - Whenever Joe (or anyone else) left Ray & Maude's house in Urbana, Ray (Joe's step-father) stood in the street to direct the person on his way.
