Washington in {LOTS} Pictures

This last week, our family took a vacation to Washington state. Some of our very best friends from Seminary moved there last year and we were dying to go for a visit! Kevin and Alisa have 2 girls, Hannah is 2 weeks younger than Kennan and Abby is about 8 weeks younger than Brayden. We had a wonderful time being in a part of the country we had never seen before!

Bath time!
We spent a few days in Seattle...here we are on the monorail to the Seattle Center
Brayden doing some artwork at the Seattle Children's Museum

The Pike's Place Market was a favorite spot! We went there every morning...
Kennan really like the monk fish!
This is the view before they threw a fish OVER my head!
It was hard to get, but you can see the fish's tail in the top left of the picture!!

I LOVED all of the beautiful, fresh (and CHEAP!!!) flowers!
We had a picnic lunch one day and attempted...
to take...
a group picture!! This is as good as it gets!

We took a little hike...

Made some homemade ice cream... And had LOTS of fun with friends!

On our flight home, Kennan decided to draw some pictures for the captain and first officer. When he gave the picture to them, they invited him to sit in the cockpit and wear the captain's hat. Kennan loved it (and so did Mutsy, the dog)!!!
