fun times, holidays, and vacations

A Bi-Plane Ride Over Seattle
Aidan and family gave Papa John an exciting present for Father's Day and his birthday. It was a bi-plane ride from the Museum of Flight over Seattle with Aidan. They had a gorgeous day for the flight.

Great-Grandma Jessie's 90th Birthday Party
Great-Grandma Jessie's birthday party in July was special for a lot of reasons. There aren't many children who have great-grandparents these days. And Aidan has three! Great-Grandma Jessie, Great-Grandpa Ford, and Great-Grandma Doris.

But this day was special for another reason. It was the day that Aidan got his own most special birthday present - his King Charles puppy, Ally.

4th of July
Tradition was kept for this year's 4th of July as Aidan and family joined Papa John, Grandma Judy, Uncle David, Mary, Ben, and the Suttons on the Y'Knot to see the Lake Union fireworks.

August on the Y'Knot
Aidan, Graham, Mitch, and Mindy joined Papa John and Grandma Judy on the Y'Knot for a three-day summer vacation in the San Juans. One of the highlights was coming up to Friday Harbor on Kenmore Air.

Other highlights for Aidan were playing on the Lopez Spit beach on Fisherman Bay and exploring Blind Island with Mitch, Papa John, and Sophie.

Kachess Camping 2008
This summer's annual camping trip seemed to have even more kids than usual. Aidan, Katie, Lila, Molly, Colin, Dannon, Josh, and Owen had a great time riding in the Liebsack's boat and playing in the campground. The little kids were joined by the big "kids," teenagers Ben and Tom.
