WOO!! We just got home from a whirlwind trip to Seattle. I don't think I had a moment to catch my breath- it seems like we were going constantly.
We shopped in Conway. This little shop was so cute. It was part of the "Bunnies By The Bay".
Declin liked the boats on the marina.
We went to Tulip Town, this is supposed to be the time of year when the tulip fields are full of color. Due to the excessive amount of rain Washington has had this year the tulips were not blooming.
All of the kids got tatoos. Chloee was not too sure when the lady started putting it on, but she eventually warmed to the idea.
Declin was a little more daring and went for the dragon.
It was so cold and windy out there, but the kids were little troupers and let me get my pictures.
We went up to Deception Pass. I only made it half way across the bridge on foot and decided I really did not like being so high up. The view is breath taking though. Declin made it all the way across with my dad. He loved it.
We took lots of family pictures. It is very rare when this particular group of cousins and aunts and uncles get together, so we took advantage of the opportunity. This particular picture is of myself and three of my cousins: Daurice, Ellen and Cindy. We are the original granddaughters of Grandma Waner. We should have put her in the picture- she was there.
This is a very blurry picture of my Grandma. We celebrated her birthday this weekend. She turned 93.
We went up to Little Mountain Lookout, which is above Mt Vernon. It looks out over the Skagit Valley. This was a perfect opportunity to take a group picture of a once in a lifetime moment.
On our way home we stopped off at Pikes Market. I snapped this picture of my mom.
It was a great trip. It was so fun getting caught up with cousins and my aunt that we don't see nearly enough. I loved all the laughter and the time together. It was great for all the kids to get to know eachother and to play together.
I would like to just say to all of my cousins that I spent time with this weekend- you are all so beautiful from the inside out and I am so blessed to have all of you in my life.
Here is to good memories and lots of pictures to look at and remember.
