Seattle.
...and we continue with Doreen's fashion show dress! No "big hair" today, though. And I'm sure the skin below her knees shouldn't be sagging like that! Nylons?
Doreen and Marion are both carrying kittens, something our cats seemed proficient at. Though in later life, Doreen was collecting horses! Only Marion continued to collect cats!
And Mom and Dad in front of the cherry tree, and the daffodils.
This must be Marion's birthday party! Four years old? John is on her right, then (first name ?) Paquet, (?), and Mary Huysmans.
Apparently the big kids were allowed to get involved! Jim on the far left, then Don, John (stripe shirt), Marion, (first name ?) Pacquet, then Ken leaning in, girl "red tights", and Mary Huysmans.
Don, Jim, and Ken were wearing their Smith memorial School grey sweater & white t-shirt uniforms.
And we're off! On a ferry, which, based on the following pictures, I will presume was on the way to the Seattle area. Victoria to Port Angeles.
Note, that Jim was already wearing hats in the sun... Pre-Tilley!
In Seattle, and on the monorail near the World's Fair location. L-R: Doreen, Jim, Don, John, and Marion. Ken? That's not dad up front in the suit jacket...
I recognise the buildings as being from the World's Fair location, but I don't remember the cool old cars! Hi Marion, how's driving?!
We went to Deception Pass (Whidby Island, north of Seattle) for camping, and I think this is on the way, along the road at a viewpoint.
And this is the Deception Pass campsite (behind us). Ken on the left, John way over there, and Marion, and then Jim on the right. I don't remember the fishing rods, though.
I remember the bridge, and walking over it with Marion, who liked to stick her head through the gaps in the fence and scaring me that she might fall over!
Larrabee State Park. It's just south of Bellingham, so we're likely on the way back...
