Jay and Kelley come to visit

 On Thursday, the day after we got home from Silver Lake, Jay and Kelley flew in for a few days. Grandma showed the girls how to do some fun drawings, we played cards, frisbee, and went for a walk at Berthusen. 

On Saturday, we went out to Anacortes and went on a whale watching tour. The orcas have been super active in our area and multiple times have been in Bellingham Bay. We were super excited because most of the trips recently had seen both orcas and humpback whales, as well as seals and sea lions. Unfortunately, that was not the case for us. We travelled over 60 nautical miles (which doesn't mean much to me, but apparently that means we covered a lot of territory looking for whales!) with no luck. We did see a bald eagle and a few sea lions. Thankfully, it didn't rain while we were out and it was still a beautiful boat ride. We finished off the day with burgers at Structures Brewing and ice cream at Edaleens.

On Monday, Kyle had to work but it was really nice outside, so we drove out to Semiahmoo to go for a walk. It was beautiful and we saw so many seals sunning themselves on the dock.

Here are a few of the pictures from around the house:

We always love having Jay and Kelley visit and this was another great trip! From here, they headed off to Montana to meet with some old college friends!
