Trip to Redmond!

We had a wonderful trip to see Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty! Stace took a few days off, and Violet worked very hard on her online classes beforehand, so she could relax while we were away.

Winston and Evie wanted to come along! (He's inside the bag in the picture on the left.)

 This was a first - Cora took us to the airport! Because it was Burbank airport, it was a short and easy drive, and great freeway experience for her. (She's had lots of experience already, but the more the better.)

Cora has theatre class and work at the high school, so she couldn't come with us.

Violet took the lovely photo above as we were landing at Sea-Tac airport. 

And here's her finished stained glass piece - Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty loved it. It goes so well in their home, also. Violet is pretty amazing.

She got to spend some good times with the cousins - like little Sophia here, who's now 1 1/2.

We took lots of walks, and on one of them, saw these deer. There was one more on the other side of the foliage.

We ended up at the lovely park near their home, which features a barn and animals that Aunt Patty now volunteers at. 

These roosters were gorgeous!

Aunt Patty was telling us everyone's name.

These next horses are at a different place close to their home, at an equine rescue. Violet is really interested in horses at the moment, and loved walking down to say hello.

Another view of the rescue. We were spoiled with amazing weather! It's been raining there consistently, but when we arrived, the sun shone brightly.

Violet put this cactus puzzle together nearly on her own.

And after being out in the cold at night, not much better than homemade hot chocolate and popcorn! We enjoyed this treat while watching the new version of All Creatures Great and Small. Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty love it, and knew that we would, too. We ended up watching all of Season 1 while with them!
