Alrighty, I know... so many posts from our trip... but what can you expect: we were gone for 2 weeks! So much info to share and remember!
On Friday, Dec. 27 we headed down to Puyallup to visit Garrett's old work. We didn't take pics there! :(
Then we headed across the infamous Narrows Bridge in Tacoma to go visit the triplets I used to nanny. I used to drive across the bridge daily and the second bridge was being built at that time. Once I started my Master's degree and working in Federal Way, I didn't visit as often. We didn't realize the toll to cross back to Tacoma was $5!!! WOWZERS!
We drove by our house in Fife and showed Cade where he spent his first 11 months of his life! He didn't quite understand that we couldn't go inside and look because other people were living there.
The kids enjoyed waking up and spending time with Aunty Trisha and making CRAZY HAIR!
We spent dinner with Aunty Zoe, Uncle Allen, Esme and baby Chan! They had cousins over too, so there were lots of new kids to play with!
Chan chan army crawled around to each kid to see who would give him ice cream first! Sorry kiddo, no one wanted to share!
These three little girls had so much fun together!
Another group shot
Kenny enjoyed her cuddles with Aunty Marina!
Uncle Kyle and Aunty Trisha let the kids open their 2014 birthday presents with them since they never get to see them on their real birthdays. Crazy hair again! (Notice Uncle Kyle doesn't need his hands! HA HA HA)
We had mentioned to Cade that we thought it would be fun to take him bowling. He nagged about it day after day... until we finally went on Saturday! We were originally supposed to go snowboarding, but there wasn't any snow up on the mountains.
We got there just in time for $2 bowling! WHOOP WHOOP!
I beat everyone! Needed to remember this, since I usually never beat Garrett. He said in his defense he was trying to "spin" the ball and didn't get his technique down. Yah... sure...
That afternoon we checked a new car museum in Tacoma
If you like cars... go visit. Papa Dean would go bonkers here. We spent about 2 hours there... after awhile... it gets overwhelming!
Cade loved seeing the variety of different cars
Their kids area was cute too!
Flintstones!
That night we hung out at Trisha and Kyle's house for a relaxing last night. We also had to pack to make sure everything fit!
Kenny and Uncle Kyle making gingerbread cars!
And then he was alone making the cars...
Uncle Kyle's bad influence...
Thank you for your hospitality! We had so much fun!
Flew home on Sunday, Dec. 29.
We were all ready to be home to rest and relax. We are so thankful that the kids traveled so well and no one got sick; also extremely blessed that nothing bad happened and we were able to spend time with so many people that we love and miss in Florida and Seattle! Til next time!
