WE WERE DRIVING TO SEATTLE

Holly was in charge of the music - she chose a very heavy metal version of the BATMAN theme song - where in she and Holden really started rocking out and singing - I somehow missed most of the good photos of Holden doing an air guitar and really  animated.  I did catch Holly in her most heavy metal singing mode, lol.  It's about an hour drive to Seattle and we were entertained the whole way with music from Hamilton, Batman, and a few other good movies or plays.  It was fun!

First stop was a mall to get Holly's phone screen fixed and then on to the city.  It was sprinkling along the way and it's one of those times where everything just comes together to make a nice adventure.

HOLLY AND ASHLEY AT LUNCH

I'm getting confused with what i have and haven't put up so once in awhile I might duplicate a photo I put over at Walking Slo Fast.

First are two photos from Ashleys' work at a salon which we stopped into to pick her up and go to lunch.  There is a camera you can pose in front of and it puts you up on the screen.  The kids had fun with it.

STARTING THE WALK TO AL'S MARKET AND MT. RANIER IN THE BACKGROUND DOWN BELOW

Beginning with Holly getting a few photos of the dandelions around the property and the recent tree that was cut down the day before we got there - which is out by the beginning of the driveway on Banner road.  Most of the houses on Banner road are hidden by the trees and their long driveway so the houses are set farther back.  There are some though you can actually see from the road.

Banner road is right out there.

The day before this tree was cut down because of disease I guess.

Beginning our walk.

these wooden structures are where if it is raining the kids wait in them for the school bus.

These dogs have greeted us every time I have walked to Al's Market with Holly.

Mt. Rainier in the background - It's always fun to see it up there without clouds in front of it.
