Almost half of my family has already come and visited us.
Heidi and Caleb came up this last weekend to visit the washingtonian Hammers which was so much fun and such perfect timing. Rachel and I have been dealing with alot of change in our lives so it was perfect timing to have Heidi and Caleb come up and basically take us on vacation from life for a little while.
They arrived on friday night, where we went to enjoy some local dutch food, we got there at 7:40 and they close at 8. so we barely made it, yes it was friday night.
Saturday was a beautiful day as we started it around noon and then went walking around lake padden, followed by some driving around Bellingham and then eventually ending up at the bald eagle park... unfortunately the eagles had a prior engagement that day and couldnt make our visit.
Sunday was filled with a new adventure for all of us. at only $15 bucks a person, we found ourselves parked on a ferry heading for local San Juan Island. once we drove off the ferry we we're lucky enough to talk to a lady at the visitor center which seemed to know less about island travel than timber, and believe me timber doesnt know that much. she means well but just doesnt retain the info.
San Juan Island was a very beautiful place to visit, just about every farm seemed to have some sort of pond or lake on it's property. from many places on the island you can see mt. baker and other local islands, and it was just a perfectly sunny day.
Touring the island by vehicle proved worthy as we came across some food strewn about the ground on a grass field next to the road with about 6 bald eagles hovering and perching in the area around. we we're able to stop for a while and watch them move from tree to tree. Caleb had one land on his head and scratch him bad and we thought it was funny and timber giggled a little too although caleb wasnt happy because he was wearing a hat and the bird wanted his hat so caleb got his hat back it was funny.
We visited a couple of these structures, some sort of shooting lazer beam for anti-aircraft, built in the early 1800's... needless to say it was pretty cool. 
can you find the third one? 
Caleb, sky, ocean, land, and a sense of curiousity

Man that eagle must have been so traumatic I have blocked it out. Was I in Washington this weekend?
