Washington

We got back to Omaha last Monday night (Aug. 10th) from Kansas. We had flew out of there to make it easier picking up the kiddos. Tuesday we unpacked, did laundry and repacked to head to Washington to see Micah's brother and his family. No, it wasn't ideal to head off so quickly but for Micah's work schedule he was able to do vacation the first 2 weeks of August. We also were trying to fit it in before Ethan turns 2 on Aug. 27. We flew into Seattle and spent the day and first night there and then next day went up to Mt. Rainier. We then drove to Ellensburg and stayed with them through Sunday. Thank you guys for a wonderful visit!!!!


Grandma had sent pj's for all the kiddos!


Cute family at Lions Rock - can't wait for baby coming in October.

Cousins had so much fun together!!!

Mt. Rainier - it was 40-50 degrees - freezing!!! I had brought some warm clothes but not near enough. Micah's Uncle Roger and Aunt Jo happened to be camping there that same time so we met up with them and thankfully they had some warmer clothes they shared with us. Despite the cold, rain and fog it was still beautiful.

The hotel had a pool so of course the kids loved that - okay brothers did too!

You can't go to Seattle without going to Pike Place Market. Do they look like brothers?

Family at the market - oh how I wish I could just walk down the street to buy produce, flowers, fish, etc. from there. Do we look like we had been up since 4:00am traveling that day?

So, now we are home and trying to get back into the swing of things. Last night Micah, Kayla and I all started feeling icky have colds now - punishment for 2 weeks of fun vacation I guess. Hope we can recover quickly.
