We woke up in another bed. This time in Seattle where we visited dear friends who had once lived in Winnipeg.

Orion made us this stack of waffles

and then picked blueberries from their garden to accompany them. Delish!

They reside in a cozy home with a ravine/trail which runs behind it. When you looked off their back balcony, you couldn’t see anything but forest. Interestingly, there was a busy street that ran adjacent to the ravine and you would never know.

We were there to catch up with them and their four amazing kids, all with an art of their own. Here is a watercolour of the siblings, painted by our Goddaughter Anna Lynn.

We also got to see Seth on the cello at a rehearsal with the Seattle Youth Orchestra. I used to babysit for the family while Rebecca accompanied him to cello lessons. He is so posed and a natural with his cello.

D and their youngest -Theo, playing frisbee. D always finds something to engage the kids in our midst. They would run ahead and throw the frisbee until we caught up with them. D said it was a great work out.

We spent the afternoon strolling and catching up as we walked through an exquisite arboretum.

En route home, guess where we stopped? At a wonderful craft brewery of course!

Burke Gilman, had a great indoor and outdoor tasting room and was right around the corner from their home. D and Theo walked home, throwing their frisbee as they walked.
