Family reunion time again!! The kids had fun cousin time and it was great remembering Uncle Ed this year. I guess the boys were moving around too much, I really didn't have any pictures of them. 
Sierra, Grace, Victoria, Eliza and Mia at the Rainforest Cafe in Seattle. Yummy but expensive! Phew!!
Sierra and Victoria by the little creek at the park we were at for the family reunion as we did our photo scavenger hunt. Come to think of it, I never turned in those pictures!
4th of July!! My favorite holiday. Grandma Linda joined us at the Oregon Gardens, our family tradition.
What luck, we also ran into our old babysitter, Wendy!
Everyone had a lap!
I love this picture of Mia, she looks so grown up!Then Andrew and I celebrated 13 years of marriage.
He arranged for a horse drawn carriage ride in the country and dinner out to a wonderful Italian restaurant. It was a perfect evening! Here's a video clip of some "friends" of the horse that pulled our carriage. I guess they were just saying, "Hello!" They ran along side for the whole length of the field, whinnying, trotting, and kicking up their heels. It was really fun to witness.

They ran along side for the whole length of the field, whinnying, trotting, and kicking up their heels. It was really fun to witness.Sadly, back home, 8 of the 9 chicks that a hen was caring for all disappeared one night so Andrew got a Havahart trap and trapped then killed the predator. So much for "having a heart"!
For some reason everyone wanted to be in a picture with it. Seems a little redneck-ish to me! The skunk was huge and he made a huge smell, too! They trapped and disposed of 2 more skunks after this one. Then we saw it, a little bundle of black and white fur, just down our hill and since nobody "had the heart" to kill a little baby, we rescued it. Josiah thought that we could rehabilitate it and teach it that it shouldn't eat chicks but we finally decided to take it to the animal rescue center. Shortly after that it went into skunk foster care. 
Here's little Pepe eating cat food.We still have plenty of chickens but through the course of the summer we have downsized to 60 birds all together.

looks like a great time. I think I will send Micah to join your family for a while. He has been missing America. And Sierra is looking so much like Mia now.
