Seattle Friends

We made a quick trip to Seattle to see my Aunt Terry. She lives in Nebraska and had work in Seattle so Nana and I packed up Lola and Mac and headed to the big city! It was Mac's first road trip and he and Lola both did great (although I am sure the trip would have been much slower if I had attempted it on my own!)

The kids and I stayed with the Bennetts, our friends from Spokane who we love spending time with. In fact, Lola often spends her time on the potty chair, "talking on the phone" with Risa & Tali, so it was so great to finally spend time with them in person :)

We spent our trip playing with the girls, reading stories in bed together each night, exploring the Seattle Children's Museum, and having dinner with Terry at Maggie Bluff's. After the girls were all in bed, Toni & I got to spend some great time catching up over some wine!

Lola, Risa & Tali

 Our five kids. Mac & Brit met each other on this trip.

 Lola needed some shades on our way to the museum. Thank goodness Auntie Rachy was there with a spare for her.

 Walking through Seattle Center and looking up at the Space Needle, I realized I have never been to the top of it. In fact, I've never been at the bottom of it! Putting it on my to do list.

A taco truck! I'm pretty sure Dan would love to have one of these in our backyard! Leave it to Rach, the preschool teacher to inspire some creative play with the girls.

 Kinslee, Tayslee & Lauralee joined us at the museum too.

Oh, how I wish the drive to Seattle was about 30 minutes from Spokane so we could play with all of these wonderful girls more often than we do!

Risa, Tali, Brit, Kinslee, Tayslee, and Rach, we love you!

Aunt Terry, hope you get to do more work in the NW!
