Yup... it's been awhile...

I think I able to down load pictures now. My mom helped me delete some old files from here.

So where did I leave off... I finished with the Whaling Days run but now we'll continue with the Whaling Days Parade pictures... Here we are after our walk/run right on the side walk waiting for things to start... which was just minutes after the race...

This group walking in the parade was awesome, I think they were boy scouts, and they were holding large pictures of young men who have lost their lives in the war- all from Washington state.... what was really great is that all the people on either side of the street stood up as they passed....

Then this huge whale came by... it was a huge float up in the air...

So you know we just did our run... and they were throwing cheap candy at us... well one group actually thru chocolate.... I thought it deserved a picture before I gobbled it up....

Joanne stayed for the parade, but she forgot her visor... so she was happy when they passed out these Statue of Liberty "visors"

Some unicyclists- they're always cool to see...

Kent sporting his visor, too...

Here's the whaling days shirt Kent's wearing that we all got...

Then a little later that same day, we had a potluck at Laura's with friends from church. Kent was so tired from his run and the heat that he crashed while reading...

Poor baby, looks like he got a little too much sun on his nose...

Hannah and Jade...

Hannah and I...

We had a potluck BBQ at the park right next to Laura's house...

When we left, the sun was setting, check out these gorgeous sunsets...

And here's what Jeromy is really excited about, our chickens first egg....

As of today we have 4 eggs...

Here's yesterday with all the kids.... Jade, Alex, Tae, Megan, Nadia, Beriah... and we have Aurora, too!!!

And a video of the awesome slip and side Laura let us borrow cause all the stores ( walmart, target, sears, costco) were sold out of any water pools...LAME!!

So that's all for now. Stay cool out there!
