Besides taking in some of the "touristy" things to do on the coast, we really enjoyed just hangin' out around the house, too. Here are some variety shots of that time, which included (in no particular order): eating, beer tasting, napping, puzzling, cooking, eating, beer tasting, painting toenails & fingernails, playing cards (hand & foot), playing play-dough, watching Finding Nemo, exercising, reading, eating...and did I mention beer tasting? The microbrew selection in the Northwest is pretty awesome, and we weren't shy about trying as many as we could :)

| Ella loved the fresh boysenberries and blueberries from the Saturday market |
 |
| What's up, Coop?!?! |
 |
| One of the first orders of business for Ella was having Auntie Anne paint her toenails and fingernails. |
 |
| Explanation on this one (and others like it, to follow): Tom & Laura were doing the P90X home workout dvd series, so we think we about broke even for the week with calorie (beer) input vs. exercise/output. Ella liked to join in, too :) |
 |
| Mom & Dad's room had a big tv & dvd player, so it became the "Finding Nemo" & "Elmo" movie watching room. |
 |
| The puzzlers finished a 1000-piece puzzle in about three days... |
 |
| youtube videos were a hit, too...especially the music video for "Single Ladies" by Beyonce :) |
 |
| The final masterpiece and the puzzlers who did it! |
 |
| Brian and Dad still admiring the payoff of their hard work... |
 |
| They couldn't bear to break it apart, so we left it for the next houseguests to admire, too. |
 |
| Lots of play-dough goin' on |
 |
| This is pretty much Cooper the whole week....quite the smiley guy. |
 |
| This was the scene for several evenings, playing a lot of hand & foot while tasting whatever new beer we'd picked up that day. |
 |
| Just like this picture shows, our time lounging around the house made us smile :) |
