Roadtrip Back

The road trip back wasn't any better. We dropped my brother off in Vegas and decided to detour to Nana's house to refresh. It was awesome! Nana entertained the kids while we got to just rest. We also got to have lunch with the Elliots on are way out of town. Such a needed stopover!

Not impressed with the port-a-potty

Farewell, Seattle

The night before we left, we met at Buffalo Wild Wings for one last dinner before we left the next morning.

Mario and Luigi

The next morning we have to stop at Krispy Kreme

Our Air BnB

New DVD for the ride back!

Mini Golf Rematch

We headed out for a mini golf rematch!

A little more Seattle

Our trips to Seattle bring lots of family fun and eating yummy things!

We met up for Pizza one night and Funcle Tom and Aunty Sissy brought loads of candy for the kids.

We spent an afternoon down on Lake Stevens

Aunty Sissy got Joziah his birthday present early!

Just ready for the day

Hogging the bed as usual.

Ready for his BIG day:  A VIP Tour to Nintendo

The kids were able to see where Sissy works, toured the campus, ate at Mario Cafe, and shopped at the shop.  Super Fun day!

More pizza

Belated Father's Day

Since we knew we were all getting together in July, we thought we'd celebrate our Father's Day then. For his gift, we buried some cash in a can in his backyard and told him to find it with his coin detector.  Tim, Tom and Mike added a few coins for distraction.  Joziah and Bella loved helping him on his adventure.   

We got him his favorite Rigatoni from Scott's.

Then, us grown kids went to an escape room and dinner!

Mini Golf

We headed to a neat little mini golf course in Snohomish. It was a fun day.

Got our free Slurpees since it was 7/11

Seattle At Last

After a night in Vegas to scoop up Uncle Mikey, and an overnight stay in Meridian, Idaho, we finally made it to Seattle.  We settled into our cute Airbnb and then headed over to Papa's for some games and dinner.

Bean bag toss

Ball roll

Papa treated his grand baby to a new Frappuccino

The kids helped prepare dinner.  Joziah was in charge of making bite-sized pieces of lettuce for the salad.  So, he used his mouth to measure "bite-sized" pieces.  What a little genius!

Clovis, NM

We rolled into Clovis on the 3rd and although it was a short trip, we made the best of every moment.  Krisa's parents were there, too and her brother came at the end of the trip so it was fabulous to finally meet him after all of these years.

Brad picked us up from our hotel in his sweet ride!

On the 4th, we headed out to the base pool

4th of July Photo Op

Joziah was so smitten

We had loads of fun playing in their backyard

The kids would hit a ball off the tee and then run to the pool

Since our last day together in England, we have tried to do a slide picture every time we are together.   This is the first one with Ady!  We hope to keep this tradition alive for as long as possible. 

The next day, just the girls went to a neat little town in Texas to look at shops and toodle around.

Saying goodbye.....never easy.
