East Coast Invasion - Part Two

 Say hello to Aunt Kari and Uncle Andrew.

"Hi, Kehwie an Anndew!"



They came all the way across the country to visit us
and to see a whole bunch of stuff near us.

We joined them for a little Seattle sightseeing.

Here we are on the Seattle Monorail.

FASTER!!!!



We wandered Pike Place Market for a while before sitting
ourselves down to munch some hotdogs, bagel,
mac & cheese and ice cream.

After lunch, it was off to visit some local
sea life at the aquarium.

"HI!  OCKERPUSS!"




Mikey and Andrew had some deep conversations.




Someone was getting pretty tired......




.....so we headed back to Seattle Center.



We hit the Space Needle before we left.

For some reason, Katie was scared of falling so we had to sit inside.
It was then that Mikey decided to start
screaming "NO!" at the top of his lungs.

Hilarious.

Sigh.

It was time to go home to play with blocks
and eat pizza.

The next day we headed on up
to Franklin Falls.

We did a bit of hiking and had 
a picnic lunch on the side of the trail.




"CHEEEESE"



There's always time to stop
and play in a giant hollow tree.




Uncle Andrew was nice enough to snap a pic of
us at the Falls.

Ooops.  Wrong picture.




Here we go.

What a difference three years makes....




We had a good time lounging in the sun
and watching many, MANY, people
fall into the water while climbing on slippery rocks.

The entertainment was endless.

Not sure what they are talking about, but knowing
Mikey it was either about rocks or bugs.




I coulda stayed there all day, but we started to run
out of food.  And kids without snacks
are REALLY cranky.

The next day, Kari and Andrew had to move on to the second part of their
trip and so off they went to Mt. Rainier and points south.

Thanks for coming to visit!

We had a really great time
and the kids miss you.

They say that you can come and play
blocks with them anytime!

April 2024 - Part 2

I'm not gonna lie. The rest of April was about Cinderella and pretty much just Cinderella.  We arrived back from Mexico for the start of...
