~Vacation~

This was a vacation long over due and one we almost didn't take because of the dealership. It was fun & I'm glad we got away.
Our week of fun started in Seattle. Oh how we've missed a BIG city. We chose a hotel in the middle of down town since we really don't live close to any big city & we wanted to be able to walk everywhere...and that we did! The space needle, park place market, rides, lots of different vendors, yummy food...we did it all!

We decided to also take the kids on a little cruise. We got to see the city from that water & that was really fun and beautiful. We also saw sea lions.



After Seattle we headed to Yakima to see all our friends and of course Chris's mom. I was a horrible picture taker while we were there because we were here, there, & everywhere & saw so many different people. It was so good to see all of you! We miss you all so much!!! My heart is aching right now thinking about you everyone we got to see:)


While we were there our kids got to play with this awesome water rocket at our friends the Gallegos. They thought it was the greatest thing ever! I think this will be an investment we make in the near future:) The boys couldn't get enough of it.


Thank you Carlson's for your fabulous hospitality! Your new home was beautiful & it was so fun to see you guys.
On the way home we spent the night in Boise. The boys LOVE hotels! We stay at them frequently because Chris travels & we try to visit him often. At this hotel, they had a family suite (we love those, I highly suggest choosing your hotel based on this option) so the boys had their own area & got their own beds. They love to swim too! Can you tell how much they love it?
Before we headed home we had to go to Chuck e Cheese. Jaden was begging to go & we didn't want to squeeze it into our Washington fun. It was a fun way to end the vacation. Hopefully we get to go on another one soon!!!

Oh! How fun! I love family trips! My sister Pam went to Seattle last August and totally loved it! Didn't you guys live there when you were first married?? It looks like you had a lot of fun! Cute pics!

I didn't even know that you guys went on a trip. We need to catch up. Oh wait, that's what we have the blogs for. :)

I'm glad you guys were able to get away.

Is there any way that you can change your pics to a bigger size so that they can blow up bigger (I'm not sure why it works sometimes and sometimes not). I want to see all the fun pics but they're so small.
