I could easily have a condo in Seattle and spend a week there every month visiting with good friends, family, and not to mention, there's so much to see and do! We had a packed six days in the big city and had SUCH a great time. Can't wait to go back!

We stayed the first few nights with Katy & Abo. Katy made delicious tacos for dinner on Friday night. Rachael & James joined us and played with some Pinterest toys that I made Lola.

On Saturday morning, Katy and I took the kids around Wallingford, having coffee & treats, reading books in the "Alphabet Soup" bookstore, shopping around, and ending up at a cupcake store. That night, we went down to the pier, walking through Pike Street Market to the Great Wheel and taking a ride.

Lola was nervous at first, but ended up loving it. Such a great thing to do. It was really pretty at night to see the city lights, but I would love to do it again during the day so we can see the ocean and the sea otters.

Girls on one side.

 Katy taught Lola how to make a surprise face.

 Boys on the other side.

 We met up with Rachael and James for dinner and rode the carousel. Another first for Lola. She's been on the one in Spokane, but never has wanted to ride on the horses, just the bench. She went twice! Dinner at Ivars. Delicious Seattle seafood.

Playing her first video game with James.

Watching football with Abo. First of many, I'm sure.

 We spent Sunday morning at the Bennett's house. Lola played with Risa & Tali, and then their friends joined us with their two kids also. Jesse was brewing beer out on the deck so the kids got a lesson in between dressing up, playing with play dough,and having an alphabet picnic.

 Risa is joing in on the tummy time with Brit and Mac. We just made plans to go to Hawaii with the Bennett's in February. Toni and I are looking forward to enjoying margaritas and watching our babies sitting up, crawling, and maybe even walking!

 Sunday night dinner at the Rowlands. I'm thinking we could turn the third floor of their house into our west side condo. It is filled with all of their girls old toys, playhouse, dress up clothes, a ping png table, couch, tv, and yes, that is a swing naging from the ceiling. We all took turns swinging with Mac, Lola, or just ourselves! Delicious Italian dinner, and such great friends.

 Meghan, the Godmama!

 Love them all!

 Monday morning at the Brown's. Cuddling on the couch. Love my sweet babes.

 Mac needs a dog. He LOVES dogs. Penny made him so happy and entertained while we stayed there.

 Monday morning, we were off to the zoo with the Flaherty girls! Lola and Kinslee grabbed hands and led us around all morning!

 Jaguars!

 Highlight of the day. Elephants. Thanks Kinslee, Tayslee & Lauralee for a wonderful zoo day!

 

 The last few days, we stayed with Rachael & James. Lola enjoyed reading stories with them at night. We also got to meet up and have dinner with our Ellensburg friends, Zane & Kerry, Nolan & Morgan. I can't believe I didn't think to get pictures, especially of Kerry's perfect baby bump! Another reason to head back to Seattle sooner reather than later!
