The fair

 Mom, dad and I spent last Thursday visiting La connor, Christianson nursery and Anacortes.  First we stopped in Burlington to get lunch at Taco Del mar, then we went to Christianson nursery and picnicked in one of their beautiful gardens.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day!

Then we took a ferry from Anacortes to Guemes island.  We biked around the island and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Daniel 2:20-22

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; 

   wisdom and power are his. 

He changes times and seasons; 

   he deposes kings and raises up others. 

He gives wisdom to the wise
   and knowledge to the discerning. 

He reveals deep and hidden things; 

   he knows what lies in darkness, 

and light dwells with him. “
