It is fun to go to Pikes Market Place in Seattle. The food and flowers are displayed so pretty. We met up with Jeanette's daughter Erin in Seattle. Jeanette bought a new couch for her living room and passed her old couch down to Erin. We rented a uhaul and did all the grunt work saving lots of money.

Jeanette showed us the sailing club where she took sailing lessons and the rowing club where she also took lessons.

















This picture was taken off of Jeanette's back yard deck. She has a splendid view of Bellingham Bay and the ocean. We watched the crabbers do their work from her deck.

Canada

One Day we decided to chance going to Canada. It was risky because we didn't have passports. In fact Sherwin did not have a birth certificate. He had sent in an application to get one but it had not arrived. When we got to Canadian customs, we explained why we didn't have the proper paperwork and we were immediately welcomed into Canada. We were very surprised. When It was time to come back to the USA it wasn't so easy. We got a lecture and a warning.
The top picture was taken at an aquarium in Vancouver that we visited. These white whales put on shows during the day.

The totum poles were also in Vancouver.

Coeur D'Alene

This is the cruise boat that we took out on Lake Coeur D' Alene. It was a perfect day for the cruise. The lake is the 2nd largest natural lake in Idaho. There are some beautiful homes and boats all around the lake. The only way to some of the homes is by boat. A boat delivers their mail and they have a school boat to pick the kids up for school. The lake never freezes except around the shore line.

We had an interesting chat with some of the people who sat at the same table with us. Two were from Seattle and two were from Glendale Arizona. I was wishing it was Joe and Jake instead of them.
This is a picture of the floating golf green. I wonder how expensive it would be for a round of golf at that course. A round includes a boat ride out to the course, and a full meal and tour. I imagine you would also see people like Tiger Woods.

Wildlife at Yellowstone Park

Driving through Yellowstone Park, we came to a meadow that had a herd of at least 100 buffalo. They were fun to watch. Two of them started butting heads and I thought for a minute that we were going to witness a fight.

This is another photo that I took in Yellowstone Park. The elk stood there and posed for all the photographers. I wish we could have been lucky enough to see a bear too.
