Quick Fun Outings

Last summer was a hot one ... not only in PNW terms but there were many days in August in the 90's. That's hot no matter where you live. Then again it is summer so one needs to make the best of it.

Summer evenings are fun to spend out by the water. The pier is a nice spot to sit on a bench for book reading or one can take a walk along the boardwalk. I tend to come here more during Fall when the weather is cool and cloudy.

There's a restaurant next to the Pier called Salty's and during the summer months they open the side Fish Bar where they sell huge root beer floats, mini corndogs  and decent fish n chips (beer battered fries).

These two are big fans of root beer floats. I'm more partial to milkshakes.

The Lego Americana Road Show finally made it to Bellevue. I believe we were at Bellevue Square the first weekend in August. It was very cool to see all these government buildings and Statue of Liberty made out of legos.

After looking at all the exhibits the kids were allowed to build their own lego inventions. Riley had fun and it sure kept him busy for a while.

May God continue to be gracious to us and to 

this great country that is the United States of America.
