The kids did great on the drive. We watched a lot of movies but we didn't watch tv the WHOLE time. We stopped in Pasco, WA at Brandon's cousin Mitch and Nancy's house for dinner. Caleb and Camden hit it off immediately and wrestled the whole time we were there. It was really fun to catch up and visit with them. I am sad I forgot to take pictures. We got to Grandma and Grandpa's late Tuesday night.
Wednesday was a really fun day. We took the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle. The kids absolutely loved it! We stayed in the inside part most of the time but the kids kept running inside and outside. Brynley kept running up to me saying, "I'm on a boat, a boat. On a boat..." Neither of them were swayed by the freezing cold wind that was blowing!
After the ferry we ate at Ivar's and then went over to Pike's Place. This is the kids on the pig at Pike Place.
Thursday was Thanksgiving and we just hung out and cooked most of the day. The kids loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa's toys. Caleb was feeling a little sick and took the first nap he's taken in about a year! (The happiness in the exclamation point is due to the nap not the illness...) We had a great thanksgiving dinner and THE best sweet potato casserole I've ever had in my life! I'm definitely making that one again!
Friday we went up to Snowqualmie Falls. (ok, i have no idea how to spell that and I'm too lazy to look it up online.) It was a lot of fun and it reminded us of Havasupai only it was frosty and freezing. Here's Brynley loving her ride from Grandpa:
This is the top of the falls behind us. We didn't get a better picture.
Mary and I went and saw Enchanted Friday afternoon. Oh my gosh. I totally loved it. Seriously, loved it.
Saturday we just hung around the house and baked some pies because Cathie and Jerry (Brandon's parents friends and Brandon's best friend growing up's parents) were coming over for dinner and pies. It was fun to see them. Cathie is so thoughtful and even brought the kids cute little Christmas stuffed animals. They loved her right away!
Sunday morning we left bright and early and watched movies for about 13 hours straight. You think I'm kidding but I'm not. Oh well, they were happy.
We had such a great trip! Thanks, grandma and grandpa for having us! Can't wait to come again!

Hey Linds, I am jealous of your trip it Ivars. Mmmmmm. I cannot believe that drive- it's brutal. Cute cute kiddies.
WOW! What an awesome trip! :) Glad you had fun and that the kids did too! They are too cute:)
Looks like you guys had a great time. Too bad we couldn't meet up- it would have been fun to see you! But it was so cold, I pretty much didn't want to leave the house. Arizona has turned me into a big sissy!
We loved having you guys stop by Tues night. When the aunts heard that you guys ate at our house and didn't stop at theirs, they were TOTALLY jealous. Thats a first.
Those boys were so funny, wrestling like CRAZY. Glad you guys had fun in Seattle.
Lindsey, It's so fun to find you. I got your link through the Boyers'. I was your favorite babysitter in Claremont. So good to see your cute family!!
