Our New Family Members.
After 3 trips to the pet store this weekend, we have finally brought home 3 new family members: Orange Crush (fish), Hopkins (frog) and Cookie (snail). Our timing on telling Shane he could get a fish didn't work out so great. It turned out to be a huge 35 year anniversary sale at the pet store this weekend with waits up to 2 hours to get fish (which were 50% off). That is why it took us 3 attempts to finally get our new family members, but we did end up saving some money and getting lots of free popcorn, cotton candy, pop, water and dog food samples.

How do you beat a heat wave? Go to Sequim!!
Shane and I spent last week in Sequim. It just so turned out that we got to spend the hottest time of the year so far hanging out in the cooler temperatures of Sequim. We missed 90 degree nights in our house! Along with missing the heat wave here in the Seattle area we also had lots of fun outside hanging out.
First time for Grandma, Grandpa and Shane at the Olympic Game Farm. It is one of those tourist things people do when they are in the area. On the entertaining side, but sad for some of the animals. I hear they are in the midst of rebuilding it.
Petting zoo at the Game Farm. Shane loved it. He certainly didn't want to leave.
Feeding an Elk some bread. This guy was just a baby. There are some in the herd with huge horns and tower over the car. Normally you get to feed the buffalo too, but they were being sorta rude that week (the buffalo) and denting people's cars. Luckily the buffalo kept to themselves when we were there.
This bear was doing tricks for his bread. I'm not kidding...the bears do tricks for bread. Quite a sight. Always my favorite part of the tour.
Watching the bears in amazement.
A Yak asking for some bread.
Here ya go buddy!
We took Shane out on Grandma and Grandpa's little crabbing boat. Just around the bay. He seemed to enjoy it, especially the bumpy ride back in. You wouldn't believe by looking at these pictures it was in the middle of a heat wave in Seattle. The plus to being in Sequim.
This was Shane and Grandma's first trip to the Dungeness Spit. Another fun thing to do when you visit Sequim. It is a little walk down to the water, where again it was about 60 degrees out. He had fun watching the big waves, and playing with all the sticks, rocks and sand.
We also spent a lot of time outside hanging out in Grandma and Grandpa's yard. Here Shane is enjoying Papa's Berries.
The pool set up.
This beach is conveniently located right across the street from my parent's house. There tends to be a lot of seaweed, but Shane didn't seem to mind.
Another beach visit down the street to Cline Spit. Shane loved watching all the boaters come in and out checking their crab pots.
All in all, a fun and cool trip to Sequim.

Anniversary Weekend
Kenny and I had a relaxing pre-anniversary weekend. Shane went to Sequim to hang with Grandma and Grandpa while Kenny and I celebrated our anniversary a few days early.
Friday night we ate at the best burger place around: Teddy's Burgers in Woodinville. Then enjoyed the warm weather in downtown Kirkland.
Saturday morning we took the dogs on a hike at Tiger Mountain. We ended up going about twice as long as planned and wore all 4 of us out completely. We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around and watching Reign on Me. A serious movie with Adam Sandler. Not bad, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. Later that evening I enjoyed some time with the girls at craft club (stay tuned for pictures of my finished project). Kenny went for a 2 hour and 45 minute run....crazy! He is training for a marathon at the end of August.
Sunday morning we got up and went on an Argossy Locks Tour. We really liked it. We learned a lot more about the area, the weather was perfect and we were early enough to miss most of the crazy tourists. We had lunch at Steamers Cafe....fish and chips of course. Then back to the house to hide out from the heat wave. Well we washed the cars in an attempt to stay a little cooler. We also watched the movie Juno. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars also.
Seattle sky line as we headed back to the dock. The sky was a little hazy and I was having a terrible time with my camera. I had to get the guys red hat in the picture to get it to take. I need to crop that out, but oh well.
Waiting to go throw the locks.
Now on our way out of the locks. Can you see on the side how much the water dropped? That was really cool to go through.
I thought his line of tug boats was super cute.

Kenny's Poem
Kenny wrote this poem for his sister and soon-to-be-brother-in-law and read it at their rehearsal dinner. It brought about quite a few laughs and surprised just as many that Kenny was the author.
Aimee’s about to begin a new part of her life
A part that will make her Chris’ new wife
No longer a Booth, will she be called by name
Instead, a Delnero, which she can proudly proclaim
But before she exchanges vows and officially says ‘I do’
I need to describe my little sister, for those who never knew
Aimee is the youngest child, the last from Jeni and Joe
Before her came Claire, then yours truly, her big bro
We grew up in the metropolis known as Reno
As kids in the buffet, we’d play pretend Keno
We didn’t have the luxury known as cable TV
So we all got to watch Aimee’s favorite movie
The hills were alive with the Sound of Music
She watched until she knew every single lyric
The rest of us heard all those songs for many years
Then came New Kids on the Block, my poor, poor ears
As a family we went on some long summer trips
I would count Corvettes while Aimee counted Rabbits
We drove across the country from Reno to the east
Stopping at many McDonald’s to enjoy a family feast
Aimee loved her burgers, but ate them rather slow
So she usually missed the French fries before we had to go
Aimee was unlike her siblings in the activities she preferred
She chose music over my sports and Claire’s written word
She tried the flute, the piano and finally the trombone
She mastered every one, even the xylophone
To me it was all noise, which interfered with my day
I’d moan and groan and escape outside to play
But despite all my cries and calls to quiet down
She stuck with it and became one of the best around
When it came time to head off to that place that we called Hug
She became the band leader and rose above a school of thugs
Some people would say she was just a band geek
Myself included, but always tongue-in-cheek
She survived football seasons and finally did graduate
And earned herself a trip to the great Centennial state
She settled down in a place populated with Rams
She played her music and passed all of her exams
Then off to rural life, way up in the hills
She found a community, to teach her music skills
Not satisfied with the life in a small town
She jetted back to school to wear another gown
This time she would leave with a mightier degree
She found a new job, teaching in Jefferson County
Her plan had come together; she was just missing a soul mate
Then along came Chris Delnero, to take her on a date
The two hit it off, without skipping a beat
Quickly their two lives had become very complete
While Aimee instructed kids in the fine art of music
Chris was preparing for the day all the astronauts got sick
It took a little while but Aimee finally found her life crush
Albeit to a man who got paid to make things flush
All joking aside, I welcome Chris to the family
I couldn’t be happier for my little sister, Aimee
A part that will make her Chris’ new wife
No longer a Booth, will she be called by name
Instead, a Delnero, which she can proudly proclaim

Colorado Family Reunion Part 2.
Breckenridge, Colorado: Sunday afternoon we headed up into the Colorado Rocky Mountains, to a little town called Breckenridge. There were 25 people from the Booth/Parker clan descending upon this little ski village. We stayed in a resort called Mountain Thunder. We had 3 town homes that would hold 3 families each in them. Each place was beautiful and it felt great to have our own bedroom and bathroom. What luxury! The town was really cute and had great little shops and restaurants. We spent some fun times hanging out downtown, shopping, eating, walking, enjoying the beautiful wildflowers and laughing at the local brewery.
Our town house. You can't see it but our rental car was an HHR, which had us laughing.
A view of the mountains from downtown Breckenridge.
Playing at the little playground at our resort: Shane, Meredith and Brooke. 
Enjoying some downtime watching a DVD (thanks Julie) and munching on bananas: Meredith and Shane.
Getting our swim on.
We had heard about this train to go on and thought the kids would enjoy it. We set out one morning to find this said train. Carolyn had fun pushing Shane in his stroller.
And here ya go...You can say this wasn't quite what we were picturing. None-the-less, everyone had a good time, me included!
2nd cousins: Shane, Meredith, Brooke, Anna and Carolyn.
Shane getting some love from Bella. The last day we were together, she just couldn't keep her hands off of him. It was super cute, even though Shane wasn't so sure about all the love.
All the 2nd cousins: Shane, Bella, Meredith, Brooke, Eli, Carolyn, Anna, Conner and Garrett.
Hiking: One morning we took a little hike/walk up the hill behind where we were staying. Shane did great, walking about a mile before he asked "uppie". He loved seeing all the plants, streams, bugs and just being a boy in the woods. The highlight of the walk for us was when we saw a fox. She saw us first, but we all stared at each other for a few moments before she took off. She had been hunting, you could see a little rat or mouse tail hanging out of her mouth. Kenny was able to get a quick shot of her running back up the hill.
This was a old gold mine that we stopped off to check out. On the drive up, you could see lots of gold mine stuff leftover in the mountains and tons of mine lefts overs. It was really neat to see.
A view of Breckenridge from our hike.
My little hiker!
We saw these beautiful wild sunflowers all over. I just loved all the wildflowers we saw in Breckenridge and Denver.
Checking out the little stream.
The slide: A bunch of the more brave people of the group went on a big slide that went down one of the mountains. I stayed behind while Shane napped. They had a great time flying down the mountain in little sleds, that had brakes...thank goodness!
Brent and Conner riding up the ski lift to get to the slide.
The slide at the bottom.
Weather: Upon arriving in Colorado, I instantly saw a sign that said "tornado shelter". Ummm...no one told me about this part of our vacation. It turns out there had been a small tornado a couple days before we arrived and the day after we left for Breckenridge there was a huge thunder storm. Glad we missed out on all that weather action. Up in the mountains the weather was crazy though. One second it would be hot, the next windy and rainy. And I'm not kidding, it would be mere seconds to make those drastic changes. Then a few minutes later it would be warm again.
Altitude: One of the more unusal things about our trip was being so high up. When you come from a place that is pretty much sea level and then end up at 9,600 feet, there are alot of differences that you don't realize. I didn't sleep much all week. I had restless sleep issues, which they say are caused by altitude. I didn't have many problems with breathing, except when I laid down it felt like I had an elephant laying on my chest. It could be hard to catch your breath that high up. Our highest point was 11,200 feet when we went through this really really long tunnel to get up and down from Breckenridge. Man, that was one scary tunnel! One more thing about being so high up was how close the stars and clouds are to you. The stars were so low they went behind the trees and the clouds looked like you could touch them. Super cool!
Red Rocks: One of our last adventures was a very quick stop off at Red Rocks in Denver on the way back to the airport. It is this super cool natural rock formation that they have turned into an amphitheater. I would love to see a concert there!
