Baby I'm Back!

I love taking trips- but don't like blogging afterwards cuz downloading all the pics takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r!

Anyway- we have been back for awhile and have had a great time with Grandma Sharon in Seattle. Before we left, Gran. Sharon's boyfriend, Paul, took Carli to a golf course to practice her swing!

And swing she did!

Jack came too, but was more interested in picking up stray balls, rather than swinging at them.

Then we went to Great Wolf Lodge. (An indoor water park in Grand Mound)

The kids had a blast in the water and they even had a wizard quest game that took us hours of walking around the hotel to find all of the clues.

Their buffet was super kid- friendly. The kids loved their fries in the shape of happy faces.


We went to the Aqaurium. We all enjoy sea-life and had a great time looking at all of the cool sealife.Bridge, would make a good jelly-fish....no?!?!?!?

Then we went to Seattle for the rest of the week. We went to the Science Center. Here are the kids in the butterfly house.

We saw some gorgeous butterflies. Jack was jumpy, but inthralled.
I didn't realize how big the Science Center is. We spent pretty much the whole day there. It was pretty awesome!
We also went to some fun attractions down by the Space Needle. After coming off of one of these rides, Bridger tripped and face-planted onto the asphalt. He got pretty banged up.Here he is the next morning. He woke up and was himself again! (He's a trooper!)
While we were in Seattle, Grandma rented a gorgeous lake-house for all of us.
My cousin Raina and her family came over for a night of fun!

It was the first time that my kids got to snuggle with her new baby, Harrison.

We put all the cousins together for a head-shot! I love this on of Harrison. He is suddenly aware of his cousins. (Priceless look on his face too!)
Thanks Grandma Sharon!
We had a great time!!!

You packed all of that into a week and a half?! No wonder you needed some girl time! I'm always glad to oblige:) Looks like you had fun

Wow, I love Seattle and especially the Science Center - the butterflies are always fun to take pictures of. Looks like you all had fun.
