Visit in Seattle

We were able to end our summer with a fun little vacation up to Seattle to see Micah, Becky and little Val before the kids had to head off to school. We had a wonderful time and the kids had alot of fun.

Kai, Kolbie, Valerie & Sadiyah

Kolbie had her hair braided the week before the trip, so I thought I would share with you all, Kolbie's first corn rows. :)


Uncle Micah recruited Kai to help in the cleaning of the hot tub, so we could all take a dip the next day. Here is Micah tossing foam on Kai and making a complete mess of the yard. Kai had a blast.


Kai's little scooper got Uncle Micah a few times as well. Which just meant that things got "nastier" from then on. Alot of foam was flying around the air that night.

Kai getting more foam thrown on him! After a while the clothes had to come off.

Here's the little tan boy now. Oh so handsome for such a little man. :)

Here's the girls having a little snack at the table.

Kai came in from outside to have that snack as well. Cheetoh Puffs - who can deny those.

Becky took us to this little shopping village, where we could feed the chickens and ducks, and then go play at a playground and ride a train.

It was really cool to have the roosters come right up to you. Of course they wouldn't let you touch them, although the kids tried a few times.

So on went the feeding of the ducks. At times I thought the kids would fall in because of how close they would get on the rocks and how concentrated they were. But no accidents - WHEW!

They really liked feeding the ducks, however they were so hungry that day, they ate a whole loaf of bread in under 10 minutes.

So off to the playground we went.

Kolbie has mastered the rope swing quite well.

And Kai had to climb the pirate ship playground that was there. So to the top of the look out tower.

Diyah played along with them as well, she was such a good big sister and cousin, to play at a playground all morning. :)

Valerie had fun digging in the sand pit boat. She was such a little happy camper.

Sadiyah and Kai at the top of the look out tower.

ALL Aboard! Time to get ready to head out on the train.

There's Val, being a cheesy happy little bug! So cute you could squeeze her :)

Becky and Valerie.

Sadiyah and Me (Steph)

Kolbie hanging out her barrell.

Valerie looking at the bunnies that were hopping by in the field as we went past.

And the funniest thing on the side of the road. That doesn't catch your attention at all now, does it? LOL

It was a great way to end the summer. To be with family, hang out and enjoy one another was a real treat. The next time we see them they will have two little ones. Becky welcomed little Kate on September 18th. Thank you Micah and Becky for having us up, it was a real treat.

Love you all,

Steph
