Lilja and I went to visit my Uncle Eddy, aunt Dara and their two girls in Gig Harbor this week. We drove to Denver and then left early the next morning on the plane.. lilja was so excited to go on a plane again!!We had an amazing time spending quality time with my family, crab fishing, visiting the beach and the Zoo and I even got to go shopping with the two teenagers for back to school clothes. I love watching Lilja form such strong bonds with my family in such a short time.. It is getting harder to leave each time. But I am sure we will come back again! Thank you guys, for an amazing time.. we felt spoiled, loved and part of the family!

| I borrowed a travel carseat that turned into a stroller for this vacation.. I think i will have to buy one, because it saved my back and Lilja loved traveling in it. Here she is eating breakfast at the denver airport. |

| Our first morning in Gig Harbor and a trip to the harbor was planned already!! so excited to see what the talk was all about.. fresh crab?? catching it with a chicken in a cage.. well, 5 crab later and eating then one hour after the catch is the BEST crab ever!! and you get to get on a little boat and cruise around.. HEAVEN!! |

| Ries was the guru in crab fishing. She is not afraid of the crab, gets right in there and was a great teacher to Lilja as I was truing not to squirm in the back..We got to go on a boat of a friend of their; Lee, who was so generous. We got to keep the first batch of crab of his! Thanks Lee!! |

| They were huge!! |
 |
| Always make sure they were male and the right size! |
 |
| Ries knew the right way to kill the crab and clean them and some seaweed for Lee's garden.. the best fertilizer for his asparagus.. who knew? |
