Camping and a blimp hangar

So let's just dive right into these pictures, shall we?

Not the best picture, but Ethan at the father and sons campout, which he loved
Striking a pose for the camera.  Seriously love it
Loved just being with dad
Annalisa wanted to wear some 3D glasses one day to pick up Ethan from school- just thought she looked so cute and bookish
Baseball season is over for Ethan and here he is showing his trophy
Picture of the team
My mother's day breakfast that the kids made for me.  Its fun having them old enough now to get really excited about giving me breakfast in bed;-)
Shopping with mommy.  Lincoln is eating pretzels, one of his favorite snacks (though it has to be the stick kind because he chokes on the pretzel shaped ones...)
The kids laying on the grass pretending to sleep and Ethan saying, "You should take a picture of this mom!"
The trees are blooming and are the most beautiful shade of purple.  Great smiling picture of the kiddos
Okay,  So these next few pictures need an intro.  The first time I went to Costco here, there were these two huge buildings that were odd shaped.  I was completely in awe of them and found out that they were blimp hangars built during WW2.  Then last week, I found out they were opening it up for one night so that the community could see inside and also learn about what the city plans to do with them.  It was amazing!  Here is a pic of the kids standing far in front and trying to smile while looking into the sun.
Close up looking up
The inside:  3 football fields long, 1 football field wide, and 17 stories tall.  All made out of wood!
I must admit that my engineering side (yes Eric and Brian, I do have a little one;) went crazy staring at this structure and the feat it must have been.
Next to the one we went in with the second hangar in the background
Lincoln is almost walking, but he loves to push around this square toy
He is also more of a climber than my other two and uses this little ottoman to climb on the bed
Standing up and getting ready to climb on the bed and...
Success!
We set up the tent this past weekend on our back patio and Ethan and Annalisa slept out there with Cory
At a friend's bday party yesterday- Cora turned 1 and Lincoln was a little bashful
Playing together- we are going to miss our friends who are moving to Portland in a month...booooo.
Playing with the train before church- Lincoln was so happy to hold to remote and feel like he was controlling it.
Pointing at the train

So there's some catch up.  In addition, we are all finally healthy, which is such a relief.  We feel very blessed in our home and hope to continue to enjoy our time here.
