Todd's trip to Washington

Back in August when the boys and I went to California to visit Auntie Em and Tio Fredo, Todd went to visit his brother Chad and Jackie in Washington. Todd flew into Seattle and Chad picked him up and they went to visit Mount St. Helens. After that they went up to North Western WA to Chad and Jackie's home and did some hikes and went crabbing. Todd and Chad had a nice brothers visit. Some pictures below. Sorry for the delay, but I guess that is life :)

Chad and Jackie got splashed quite a bit in the back

Todd and Chad went crabbing, landed on an island while they were waiting for the traps to set.
