My brother came for a visit!  I was so giddy to have him come!  We had a jammed packed visit with him.  He arrived late Wednesday 9/7/2016.

His first task the next morning was a battleship game with Jadon!

Then we headed to Tenino to explore the Rock Quarry.  Who knew climbing on the rocks would be so much fun!  We also explored a trail above the rocks!

We of course had to take a boat ride with our pirate kite.    We also took Mike to the island.  It was a beautiful fall day!

Friday we took Mike to the Washington State Fair.  It was another great weather day to enjoy the fair.  Lots of animals, exhibits, food, and of course rides!

This year for we are studying dinosaurs.  We seized the opportunity to do ‘school’ at the Fair and do the dinosaur exhibit.  It was awesome!

Crusty Pups are one of the must eats at the Fair!

We enjoyed the rides with Uncle Mike!  I even did a roller coaster with Mike.

Scones are a must at the Fair.  People out here go crazy for these scones!  They are amazing!

Mike did the Ninja Warrior Course at the fair!  The Diabetes Association was using the course as an awareness and  fundraiser.  Mike’s did this in honor of his roommate! Check out the video!

To end the evening Uncle Mike made his famous, legendary chocolate chip cookies!  Of course I had to make a video to document the event!

Waiting for the cookie dough to get cold, we enjoyed the sunset!

Last day, but jammed packed!  It started with a 5K fun run.  The run was to support and bring awareness to addiction recovery.

After the race we headed to Esther’s soccer game! They won 2-1.  I’m very thankful Mike got to see her play her first season of soccer!  She did amazing!

Mike may be gone, but he left his sweatshirt so we could remember his visit!

Until the next visit!
