June 4:  We braved the storm and missed the large hail--finally arrived in Federal Way at 2:30 a.m.
June 5:  We're pooped!!!

I'm ready for my last swim lesson!

I'm a little woozy, but still enjoying the view

Larry, Darliss, and Emerson in front of the new ferris wheel with 6-person gondola cars that are heated and air conditioned--opening soon on the pier

June 6:  We took Emerson (5) to Ty's construction site.  We all went to lunch at the Crab Pot, then visited the 74th floor of the Columbia Tower, went to the Seattle Library, and walked around downtown.  We took the light rail back to our car.

Emerson practicing her "dunks"

June 7:  Larry and I babysat Emerson & Eli today while everyone else went to Doug's college graduation.  We got to watch Emerson's last swim lesson, took her to preschool, and finally took both kids down to the Redondo Beach Boardwalk and park.  We've sure had fun spending time with family!
