We Love Seattle

We made a quick trip up to Seattle last week. Dave had a class and board meeting in Bellevue so the kids got to skip a little school and spend time with the grandparents. It was definitely a long day, 5 am report to the car for a 3 hour drive, 8pm pick up dad again in our pj's for the long drive home. But with a few stops for bribary (McDonald's playland on the way up, Wendy's frosty on the way down) the kids were well behaved and we had a fun visit with the Seattle Kellers.

The kids have been wanting to visit the Aquarium since last summer and this was a much talked about event, especially for Isabella. She was so excited, she told all her friends and all her neighbors how much they would miss her on Friday because she would be at the aquarium in Seattle. We even had to call Gabby twice to talk about it.

Can you tell my girls love to pose for pictures??

Ben really wants to go swimming...but the Sound is too cold!

What a fun trip! It looks like one I want to do. Maybe I will have to head up with my girly this summer when I am home.

That looks like a fun trip. Hey sorry we never got together while I was up there. We were always doing something every minute of the day it seemed. It was fun. Next time.

Ooh, I love Seattle (only been there once) and aquariums! That must have been a fun trip. And skipping school always makes outings even more fun! The kids are so cute in these pics - your Ben is getting so big!
