A Night of Baseball the Mariners Would Love to Forget!

Take me out to the ballgame! After the Mariners v Cleveland game. We lost 6-18. Yikes. But we did see a record broken -- that of the number of home runs by the opposing team!

A Bear For Yuki

After we took Sam to the airport, Christy and I took Sarah, Joshua and Jeremy to Build a Bear to make a teddy bear for Yuki. You wouldn't believe how much time it takes for everyone to agree on an outfit!

Beam Us Up, Scotty!

After Don & Co. and Dad and Mavis left, we headed to Seattle with Christy, Sarah, and Sam to see the Seattle Sci-Fi Museum. It was cool. They have Captain Kirk's chair. Need I say more????

Ellis Family Reunion

The "Ellis Clan" (as we were labeled by someone in the hotel) came to Tacoma this year. Here we all are except Sam. You would think we would figure out how to use the timer on one of the digital cameras!

For fun we:
-Went to the zoo
-Had a cookout
-Went to Edmonds to eat at Sam's favorite restaurant which was closed, so had to settle for the Olive Garden for great food and horrible service. (FYI: It pays to write letters of complaint!)
-Took a ferry ride where we discovered it is very expensive to go from Edmonds to Kingston, although going from Kingston to Edmonds is very inexpensive. Go figure.
-Went to see Spiderman
-Ate supper on the waterfront
-Ate too many Krispy Kreme doughnuts!
