Rick & Brenda: Update!!!

Well, It has been a long time since we updated our blog!! So here is a quick look at what we have been up to in the last 4 months. We have taken a couple of weekends and had some fun and Brenda spent a weekend with her niece, Sami Jo, at the Great Wolf Lodge for her birthday!!

January - Weekend @ Westport

March 1st - Surprise Visit to Chelsea & Jake

Jake & Brenda conspired to surprise Chelsea for her birthday!! Brenda was able to go out to Wisconsin for a little visit. It had been almost a year since Brenda saw Chelsea. She was able to arrive on the doorstep without Chelsea knowing she was coming. It was a great visit!!

Jake & Chelsea at the zoo. It was very cold!!

Lions in the snow

The Polar Bear was right at home in the cold weather.

March - Brenda's Birthday Weekend

We rode the Victoria Clipper for an overnight trip to Victoria, BC

Parliment Building

Rick in front of the Parliment Building. It was raining but we still had a great time.

Albert Eistein - (Born on the same day as Brenda, just a few years earlier)
We stopped by the wax museum for a visit.

The Empress Hotel

The Coho Ferry - the trip home was a long one. Due to the weather, we were unable to take the quick Clipper ferry. We took the Coho to Port Angeles, then onto buses for a ride to the Bainbridge Island ferry over to Seattle. Our 3 hour trip turned into a 7+ hour ordeal. What an adventure!!

April - Easter Weekend

We went to LaConner to ride bikes around the flower fields. The tulips were not out yet, but the daffodils were. Has a good ride and the weather was pretty good.

April - Sami Jo's Birthday

Brenda went with her niece, Sami Jo, for her birthday to the Great Wolf Lodge. Her sister, Jackie, and 3 of Sami Jo's friends went along. We all had a great time and spent alot of time in the water and on the slides!!
