Summer in Seattle.

 Having the evening off we went Jet skiing in Kirkland...

 ...followed by dinner and drinks with this gorgeous lady. 

 Carl originally got the idea of jet skiing going. Here he is

showing off some moves in 40mph scaring the big J out of

every fish in the lake.

 Last few days with Sanna resulted in some pretty nails. Not something dad
would be very good at. Both kids really missed her when she left
for a tour of the West coast, but we'll see her again.

 

 Funny faces.

 Military in town. Robert in front of an Osprey helicopter.

 Carl discussing aereal navigation with a pilot.

 Jack and dad continue to explore the world early in the morning.

Nobody seems eager to stop a dad carrying a 2 year old on his shoulder

as we walked around the aircraft carrier.

 Alaskan cruiseship that just arrived.

 Like father like son.

 Well, his smile is better than dad's. That's for sure.

 Magnolia parade and fair.

 "I am a good driver dad."

 A very tired Jack did not have any energy left

for soccer practice at noon. It is nap time.

 I think this is a peacock face painting.

 Picnic at Ella Bailey park, Magnolia.

 Swedish national day and Ava's last day of Swedish school this summer.

 The surfer girl mastered this without falling. The guy at the controls

kept increasing the speed, but she held on. As dad tells her, "Focus and

concentrate".

 Ava ws very proud of her outfit this particular day...and why not.

Flashing the best smile at the camera.
