We took a picnic lunch with us and then walked over to Ivar's for ice cream cones for dessert.
We played some games and enjoyed the beautiful setting around us.
Grandma and Grandpa head back home tomorrow afternoon. It's sure been fun to have them here. We have had spectacular weather and have enjoyed their visit. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming to visit and we look forward to having you come again. 
Steve, Brooklyn and Grandpa entered the "Homemade Ice Cream" contest. They had three teams and "Team LeBaron" was one of them. They gave them all the ingredients for hand cranked - homemade ice cream. They were given a vanilla based ice cream and then added fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. They each took turns hand cranking it.
And guess what? Team LeBaron won first place! Here they are with their first place ribbon! We each got a big cup full of their yummy ice cream and it was really good.
Our favorite part of the fair is going to see all the animals. Here is Brooklyn with a goat named Ellie! Ellie loved Brooklyn's necklace and kept trying to take a nibble out of it!
Grandma, Brooklyn and Grandpa with the goats.
Brooklyn and Steve rode on this crazy ride called the "Zipper". Brooklyn loved the ride but Steve wasn't so sure! The ride turned them completely upside down and all of the lose change in Steve's pocket came falling out! We had a great time at the fair and it was fun to share it with Grandma and Grandpa.
We had a lot of fun going to the parade. Here is a picture of Brooklyn with the Seafair pirates. You make a pretty cute pirate Brooklyn!
Mackenzie looking so serious! She isn't supposed to crack a smile and was doing a pretty good job of staying focused even though her Dad was running along side the band to snap some pictures!
It was a lot of fun to see Mackenzie in action! She looked so cute in her band uniform! We are looking forward to going to all the Cascade High School football games and competitions this fall to watch Mackenzie and the band perform. Congrats Kenz for doing a fabulous job on your first marching band performances today! You were AWESOME! :-)
Grandma and Grandpa even got in the pool. They jumped off the diving board a few times too. We love it when our parents don't act their age!
Brooklyn getting ready to jump in the pool with the rings around her!
Brooklyn invited her friend Brianne over to swim with us and the two girls had fun being crazy in the pool together.
Steve opening his birthday presents! 
Steve wanted homemade angel food cake, strawberries and whip cream for his birthday cake. We had a great day celebrating Steve's birthday and it was a fun treat to have Grandma and Grandpa here for his celebration. 
On the way down to the stadium we stopped at Dick's drive-in for hamburgers and milkshakes before the game. Here we are enjoying our yummy dinner!
Grandma LeBaron loves baseball so she was excited when we told her we were going to a Mariner's game that night! 
Half way through the game Mackenzie and Brooklyn went out to buy themselves some Dipping Dots ice cream!
Steve, Grandma and Grandpa enjoying the game.
We love going to the Mariner's games. The stadium is beautiful and the setting is so pretty. Even though our seats were way way up they were still really good. The Mariners played the Oakland A's that night at beat them! 
Munching on appetizers!
Table one!
Table two!
Table three!
After we were done playing, having dessert and handing out the prizes a couple of us ladies got crazy and jumped into the pool. The pool temp was up to 85 degrees so the water was toasty warm - even warmer then it was outside. Thanks to all our subs who came and played with us...we had a great time together.
I had a committee of 3 ladies that helped me and I also recruited one of my friends - Heather - to go up to camp with me to help with the project. The service project was a HUGE success and I never could have pulled it off without all of their help.
We worked on the project from about 9:00 till 4:00. It was so fun to spend the day with all the girls and leaders at camp. Plus it was fun for me to see Mackenzie and Brooklyn. Our house is so quiet this week with them gone and I can't wait until they get back home again tomorrow afternoon.
We filled a large box full of baby caps...320 of them! 
One day we took a picnic lunch over to Mukilteo beach. We had fun watching the ferry, playing games, visiting and walking along the beach.
You can't go over to Mukilteo beach without going to Ivar's for ice cream cones! So here we are enjoying our ice cream as we walked along the pier watching the men fishing.
Another day we took a drive over to the Ballard locks. It's one of our favorite places to go. It's so fun to watch those big yachts and small boats come into the locks.
A group picture at the locks!
Friday night our girls had a swim meet. Mackenzie and Brooklyn were excited to have Grandma and Grandpa at their meet. Here is a picture of Brooklyn doing one of her favorite strokes the butterfly.
Mackenzie diving into the water off the starting block for the 100 yard free style.
For those of you who haven't experienced a swim meet before...they are a lot of fun but... you are at the meets for about 5 hours. Each child swims 4 events and there are a total of 64 events! Because the meets so long before we leave we pack up everything but the kitchen sink and then off we go! Here is a picture of us sitting outside the pool area relaxing and enjoying dinner together while we wait for our girls events.
Yesterday we took a drive down by the water and had fun exploring sites we have never seen before. We stopped at Ivar's on the water front down by the University of Washington for some lunch.
