Seattle

We took the kids up to Seattle over the last week and a half of school. Ryan's Aunt and Uncle live up there so we went to stay with them. The kids did awesome in the car and we had an amazing time. We took them to Pike's Place, the Yankee/Mariner's game (streaking man included!), Whidby Island by way of the ferry, Deception Pass and playing on the beach at Whidby Island, Chittenden locks and Woodland Zoo. We also had a ball just hanging out with Scott, Amy, Trev, Kenz and Court. This was a vacation that I didn't want to leave and we actually ended up staying an extra day. On the way home, we drove through Montana and down into Idaho Falls to see our BFF's the Christensen's. We finally arrived home Friday morning around 1 a.m. so that Addie could make her final day of first grade. Here are some pics from the trip...

Side notes.... Asher LOVED Trevor and Scott and any boat he could see. The girls loved Kenz and Court especially playing "The Game of Life". I loved watching "The Big Bang Theory" with Trev and Amy (we were the late late nighters....). By far one of the most fun vacations we have been on and we owe it all to the Butterfields who we miss every day!
