Happy Father's Day!!

A few days late, but I hope everyone enjoyed it!

I had an entire weekend of family fun.

Saturday morning was spent at the Musuem of Flight with my Dad & the Hearn family. I was rather enthralled by the new space exhibit with current info about the planets in our solar system & the new definitions of dwarf planets. Things have changed a little bit since I was a 9 year old space junky. Here's Daddy with three of his four kids (Emily & her family will be coming home from California in early July!)

Saturday night the older Gowey girl cousins --minus Megan :(-- got together for a sleepover at our Grandparents' house. It was great fun--we talked & laughed all evening.

We had tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, just like Grandma used to make for us.

And silly times playing with the toys that were our playthings at the Grandparents' when we were kids.

And drinking tea out of Grandma's chicken mugs (we also all went down to feed the chickens & reminisced about the yard & creek).

All cozied up in the living room with a fire.

Sunday, Levi headed up to Bellingham with some friends to ride Galbraith Mountain. We finished off our sleepover with a waffle breakfast & a walk to the Lake Forest Park Farmer's Market, & then headed up the hill for a Father's Day gathering at my aunt & uncle's.

I just can't stop taking photos of my adorable little cousins. :)

Grandpa's waving hello.

Amanda & her dad--she has a mouthful of olives that she just ate off her fingertips.

And in other news...it's good to know that I am still not allergic to bees. Levi & I went for a long road bike ride last night with some friends. While riding along the scenic Seward Park, a bee hit my cheek & stung me! Thankful it did not swell up much & it doesn't hurt anymore.

In nature sitings...it seems like there's an abundance of flickers this year! I saw three just yesterday!
