Dan and I are sitting in downtown Mt. Shasta, CA on a park bench right now. We were finally able to pick up a wireless signal. It's amazing to be with family, on the West Coast, and playing in the mountains and water. We've taken a ton of pictures... so we thought we would choose a couple from each day to show what we've been doing.

July 24th - Where Carter hung out during our layover in Salt Lake City.

Beautiful Mt. Rainier on our way into Seattle.

July 25th - Dan and I went jogging... well I guess you can say I was the one who did the jogging. Dan's cousin let us borrow his Segway for a couple days.

July 26th - We spent the day with my Aunt Jan and her fiance Alex up near Steven's Pass at his dome in the Cascades. Dan's brother Dave, sister-in-law Laurisa, and their kids (Caleb and Grace) went with us. It was so much fun. Alex let us ride his tractors.

Carter loved the firewood cart. You can see the dome behind them.

July 27 - Day 1 of the Reeve family reunion at the Seattle Center.

We were able to get a quick shot of all the cousins before they were off and running again.

July 28 - Day 2 of the Reeve reunion at Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island. Carter actually took a 2 hour nap in the pack-n-play next to our picnic blanket. We couldn't believe it. Here is a picture with Dan's immediate family.

Dan's Aunt got all the cousins these funny teeth. Caleb wore them all day.

July 29 - We spent the afternoon with Dan's cousin Kim, her husband Todd, and their two sons at their house on Lake Washington. You can see a sea plane taking off over Dan's head.

Our nephews playing on the beach in their backyard.

After dinner Dan's cousin took us out on his boat so we could try some inland surfing. It's pretty crazy how you let go of the rope and stay with the boat. Here is Dan...

Here I am... it took a while, but I finally got up.

July 30 - Everyone left to go home. Here are our nieces and nephews playing while the cars got loaded up. We hung out with Dan's folks the rest of the day and then left at 8pm to drive down to my parents vacation house in CA. It took us until 4:30am... but totally worth it to have Carter sleeping.

We'll have to post some pics of Mt. Shasta later this week. It has been amazing to be in the mountains again. We feel like we have been living in a post card the last week.
