Memorial Weekend

We started our Memorial weekend by getting a babysitter and going downtown Seattle to ride Segway Scooters for a couple hours.  It was so much fun!!  I recommend trying a Segway to everyone.  It didn't take too long to learn, we practiced a few times in the shop.  The first time I tried it I almost ran into the wall, which made Russell laugh at me, until HE tried it the first time and ran into our tour guide.  ; )  Then we took to the streets and we saw all the fun Seattle sights, the fisherman wharf, the Space Needle, Pike Place, the artsy district, we went all over, and riding on the segway never got old.

The next morning we loaded up the kids and drove to Lake Cushman to stay in Uncle Dave and Aunt Carol's cabin.  The cabin is in a gorgeous place, right in the middle of the Olympic Forest, unfortunately because of that prime location in the temperate rain forest, we had a gray and rainy weekend.  We played a lot of games, walked down to the lake in the drizzle to throw rocks in the water, and then we got tired of the rain and drove around the forest to Port Townsend, where it was nice and sunny, and we stayed and played on the beach all day, catching star fish and splashing in the water.

 We had one dry evening at the cabin, and we rushed out to light a fire and cook s'mores.

It was a fun weekend!
