Monica's Visit

Monica and John came to visit us out in Seattle. Monica got to stay an entire week! She hadn't been out since Elijah was born. We were very happy to see her. Hiking in Discovery Park, near the city:

Looking out at Puget Sound:

We took the extra long trail towards the lighthouse (called "West Point"):

Walking through the University of Washington:

At the center for Wooden Boats, near South Lake Union:

At the Fremont troll, Finnegan knows how to handle himself around monsters.

Walk slowly, never look them in the eye, and never EVER touch their noses. Whoops! Sadly, this angered him and he grabbed her with his claws.

John had a quick decision to make : rescue his girlfriend, or take a picture. Tragically, he first reached for the camera, and so that was the end for Monica.

Well, it was a good visit while it lasted. Next time we'll feed it a tourist before we take a family member into this dangerous area. I lose more sisters that way...
