Raulet Picnic

This was Aoife's second annual Raulet picnic. This time she could play with Derick, the other baby from the Raulet lab. She had a fun time, but she was running around everywhere, and we were afraid she would run into the poison ivy. Her and Derick also liked to look at the BBQ flames. There was also a dog that she watched play Frisbee, and when he liked her, she stood very still and gave him a strange look. She was really starting to get physically active at this age.

Seattle

Tim was asked to give a poster session at the Seattle Immunology Conference 2009, and he let us come along with him. Seattle is one of the places we might end up moving to, so it was a good opportunity for me to check out what Seattle has to offer. I fell in love immediately.
Our hotel was right by the space needle, so everyday Aoife and I would take a walk over to the space needle and hang out before heading down town. Aoife is not happy in this picture because she was annoyed with me trying to get a good picture.

This is Pikes Place Market which is famous for it's "flying" fish. What a fun market with foods from all over the state, local crafts, and quirky stores.I took Aoife to the childrens museum, and she had fun playing with these musical instruments.



She also enjoyed climbing through this rock structure.Her favorite part was this fake river with boats and fish in it.



...and this is my last picture before I dropped our camera and broke it.
