Seattle!

 These last few weeks have been a whirlwind of busy and family. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I also have been loving getting back to our normal schedule. I finally got around to going through our photos from our trips. I give you Seattle.

 I know I'm biased, but seriously, this kid is the cutest

 In love with sand and that shovel

 Found a little crab

 and a hermit crab

Ferry Ride!

 Apparently we decided not to take any pictures last week, so here are some pictures from our ferry ride home from Seattle. Charlie absolutely loved the steering wheel. He never did figure out the horn, which was nice :) But it would have been pretty hilarious if he kept honking.

Our little blonde blue eyed boy :)

Seattle with My Parents!

 We had a wonderful surprise when we were at our friends wedding. My parents showed up! My dad had just officiated a wedding up in BC and realized they were close enough to drive down so they did! Yes, we did see them last month, but it was so good to see them again, especially when you are not sure when you'll see them next. So on our last day we went into Seattle with them and walked around Pikes Place and got some delicious mini-doughnuts. Yum, I think I'm going to get those every time now.

 Trying to feed him on the ferry was a bit more tricky than I expected. I guess a table would have been nice :)

 Jelly Fish!

 Love those flowers.

It just so happened that we ran into some friends from Portland at the market! 

 They have been celebrating their 35th anniversary this trip! Can you believe it? 35 years!

I have been to Seattle many times and this is my first time going to the gum wall. And it is literally downstairs from the market.

Seattle at the Grandparents

We drove over to Seattle for a wedding and stayed with Andy's grandparents in Kingston. They have a beautiful place right on the Puget Sound and they just added some more rooms for us to stay in! It was a very relaxing weekend with family. 

Maggie playing peek-a-boo. The cutest thing ever.

They had some pretty awesome vintage toys. This actually looked like a potato. I've never seen them like that before.

Little baby Santa.

They live right on the water and you can climb down. When the tide is far enough you can go crabbing! I've only been able to go once, but I think we're going to plan it for next year. 

This tree stump floated to the shore when Andy and Becca were kids.

This is the way down to the beach and it is right by their house!

Best. Face. Ever.

They had blackberries and they were quite tasty. A few sour ones, but pretty sweet for the most part.
