Puzzling Puzzle

So this past weekend I decided I was going to start the Harry Potter puzzle that George and the kids gave me for Christmas.I usually enjoy puzzles but I found this puzzle to be frustrating. I am not sure if it was because a lot of the colors were too similar of maybe I was just not in the right frame of mind to be working on it.

I would sit and stare at the puzzle for what seemed like hours and not get any pieces. Jenna would come in and go "I found a piece" in like 30 seconds. Well I am happy to have it finished.
 Even the cat was tired of me doing the puzzle and was wanting some attention.
 While Jenna and I worked on the puzzle Jake took on his own task. He had been saving his money to buy this Lego set  (his biggest one so far). So he worked on it, little bits at a time, all weekend.

Crabs, Seattle and glass

More of our summer adventures with my parents.  Here are our glass creations from our glass blowing.  We went crabbing on day and caught several crabs-only one was a keeper though. We were excited about cooking our first crab ever. It was yummy!  We also spent a day in Seattle at Pike's Place  Mom in line to get her favorite piroskys. We can't leave Pike's with out getting amazing flowers for so cheap-$15 for this giant bouquet.

Weekend Trip to Stehekin

Image
This past week we took a little trip to Stehekin, a small little community that is only reachable by boat. It is located off the north west side of Lake Chelan. The place has no cell phone service, no TV's, no computers! How would we ever survive? I was very hesitant about going but after George begging me I caved and decided to go. We went with Jake's best friends family. Amazingly we had a great time and did not miss our electronics at all. There is very limited transportation there, to get around we had to ride bikes that we rented there and we took a tour bus once to dinner.   Riding our bikes to Rainbow Falls and the bakery. It was a great ride, I only wanted to quit once.  Giant cinnamon rolls at the bakery  Stehekin's one room school house  Us with the Renschler's  Rainbow falls  Fishing  We rented to Polaris for a couple of hours, that I enjoyed driving around. People can arrive to Stehekin by Sea plane...
