weekend in Seattle

We had a quick trip to Seattle for the weekend to catch up with our dear friends the Griggs.

It was so fun to see them and their darling children. Two of their three children are close to the same age as ours, like days apart. So it is also fun for David and Allison.

We had fun visiting parks

and being so close to the ocean we HAD to go and throw rocks in.

Allison had fun with her little buddy.

The train went right by us. It was so close, every time one would go by all the kids would cover their ears it was so loud.

Saturday morning I woke up to find this. Everyone loves dad, especially in a twin bed.

Saturday we had a full day that started with a hike through an old train tunnel. It was very dark, cold and drippy. We had flashlights and made it a ways to see a small light at the end of the tunnel. We had to turn around before the end because we were cold, and well it was 2 1/2 miles down. We passed many bikers, maybe we will try it that way next time.

We also saw Snoqualmie Falls. It was beautiful. The kids all enjoyed a popsicle as we rested from the hot sun.

David had such a great time with his "cousins", as he calls them. He was so sad to say good-bye.

David and Ben are two days apart and had a great time playing together. Thanks for the fun, we can't wait to see you again.
