Our Golden Gate bridge

So Washington has a "Golden Gate" bridge of their own. It's just not as swarming with tourists. But it is pretty famous (it's just that no one seems to be aware of it). If you haven't watched this video during high school or watching a National Geographic documentary here it is http://youtu.be/j-zczJXSxnw (sadly you'll have to copy and paste it onto your address bar)

Why do we care you may be asking yourself right now (especially those locals from Washington that have already heard all about it)? Because we finally decided to do the touristy thing and walk monumental family moment across it. (Pause for appropriate ooos and aaah) Yes, we decided it was high time to visit our local architecture (that was actually designed by an engineer-the filthy swine:) Here we see our little darling trying to escape as we share this beautiful family moment.


It's more amazing actually being there up close. The weather was beautiful that day...well, at least it started out that way. By the time we got out there we had some gray skies and a little bit of rain (I know it's a shock for Washington). But then we pointed the camera a different direction and the clouds seemed to clear up :)

Ezra was very cute, as usual. He and Ryan did the appropriate down elbow thrusts to let the
Mid section of the bridge. drivers know we wanted a horn honk. I always
Ezra obviously has bright sunlight shining in his eyes thought it was a privilege reserved for truck drivers but fortunately the other drivers were smarter than me.


It's hard to tell on this picture because Ezra's bent over but he's doing his best "army man" face.

Okay I loved this picture enough to make it our main blog pic. I mean, there's a blue(ish) sky here. That's exciting and worth celebrating. We don't look our greatest but this was a fun memory with all of us together!

No camera

It's killing me. Our camera card is lost. I can't take any pictures. What's a blog without pictures? Well, I guess some people can pull it off but they have superior literary abilities...(I hope literary doesn't just refer to reading-at any rate some people are much better writers-they write good stuff-I'm not one of those people).

My sister came to visit us with her husband and 6 kids and they stayed at our little 752 sq ft house. That kind of event is picture worthy. If nothing else to laugh about it after the fact. True, I did manage to put them in various locations outside our home when it was time to sleep but eating, congregating, we practically had to pile people on top of each other :) And we went to Seattle's Pacific Science Center with a Star Wars display. So many picture taking opportunities (if you managed to elbow all the other science fiction junkies out of the way-mostly my sister's family-Just Kidding!)

But I did get a friend to snap an Ezra shot I thought was too irresistible. Ezra fell asleep reading a book. Not as much of a story behind it but...it's our cute little man. What can a mama say?
