A couple weeks ago we packed the kids up and drove to Seattle, Washington to visit Kim, Ben's sister, and her family. It was super LOOOOOOOOOONG drive but we enjoyed every minute of just hanging out with them. We usually get to see them for a few hours once a year when they drive down here for things, but it was nice to have more time to spend with them and my kids absolutely love their older cousins.
Don't they look excited for the long drive...
We really did just kind of hang out. It was nice to just relax and take things as they come and not have to really go anywhere unless we felt like it.
We chilled on the couch.....
Got a good hair train goin'...
played,
splashed,
and fell in the rain,
played some games,
and did some cooking.
One day we did drive to and right on to the ferry to go to Whidbey Island (I think that's what it's called).
There we just played around on the beach and threw some rocks,
found some shells,
played with seaweed,
drew in the dirt,
and ate some dirt.
There was also lots of mad games of ping pong goin' on whilst watching some fun movies.
We traveled into Seattle on day and spent some time wandering around Pike's Place with the smelly fish...
and brass pig.
The kids were excited to get to sleep under the ping pong table.
thanks so much Kim and Mike and kids for letting come hang out. We had a great time!!

Yay, it sounds like you guys had a nice trip!
That looks so fun! When Phil lived out of state, we always enjoyed our long visits just hanging around in their little town. Now they are back in Utah and we hardly get to spend quality time with them. We just see them at a chaotic party every once in a while. Did I ever email you back about Donald? I tried to, but I think my phone wasn't working and it didn't send. I think that is awesome. It was so fun to talk to him this summer, he's such a nice and loving guy. He'll be so fun. My mom actually called me that same day to tell me. She's pretty excited too.
