Auntie Marilyn comes to visit

Story time is always a hit with these two


Stopping to play on our walk in the neighborhood


Marilyn's first time picking blueberries


Chuck remembered "Senior" Tinkertoys. I guess I must be too young!

Chuck's sister from Iowa came for a visit last week. She never misses checking Heather's blog daily for updates on the twins (and mine too, of course). She was excited to actually see them in person and she had several occasions to watch them in action while she was here. They are always entertaining, to say the least, and she loved getting acquainted with them.

We took her out to a farm to pick blueberries one day; she said it was the first time she had ever picked blueberries. We picked about twenty pounds of them and then came home and made jam.

The next day we let her rest a bit as we drove up to Anacortes and walked on the ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. While there we had lunch, toured the museum, and enjoyed the beautiful blue skies and water. It was a lovely day for a ferry ride.

Chuck took her to the Gold Rush Museum in downtown Seattle and of course we took her to Pike's Market -- a must attraction for anyone visiting here. We kept her busy and I'll bet she needs a bit of rest now that she is home.
