Seattle

We had an amazing weekend trip up to Seattle over Fall Break this year (Oct. 20-23). We were able to head up to Seattle to spend some time with family and friends. We started the night of the 19th, spending it in Boise with his sister Julie. Then early the next morning we were off to Seattle. The drive was good and the kids were great. We arrived in Seattle just after 4:00, and went straight to the temple.

As you can see Cameron was totally thrilled by having his picture taken. Who can blame him, he was in the car all day.

Pug's Grandfather designed this temple. He loved the grounds and commented on how it smelled just like his grandpa's backyard.

The next day we spent with his sister Ashlee who lives in Auburn. She took her kids out of school for the day so they could play with their cousins.



We took the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle. It was really neat, and the kids loved being out on the bow of the boat. Then we just drove around downtown Seattle. We saw the troll under the bridge, and then went to a toy store in Seattle. Across the street there was a totem pole. All the kids had to pose in front of it!

That night we hung out with his friend James and his little girl Esme. We took a walk in a park right across the street from their house. So beautiful there!

The next day, Saturday< we went to Pike Place. Unfortunately they weren't throwing fish while we were there :( but we did get some YUMMY doughnuts, and Pug and James loved going through the little Italian shop there.

We went to the top of the space needle, but unfortunately it was raining and cloudy, so we couldn't really see much of anything. But I was able to get this pretty cool shot!

And of couse we had to get the kids to pose all together!!

Later that day James took us to Snoqualmie Falls. It was beautiful. But with the sound of rushing water we were only there about 2 minutes before all the kids had to go to the bathroom!


Here is a river that we went to in Old Town Snoqualmie. Everything there is so beautiful and green. We had an amazing time!

Thanks again James for making this dream come true! Thanks Ashlee for taking us around Seattle. We love all you guys!
