Seattle: Trip Home

Or should I say Nightmare. The morning started off promising until one flight had a mechanical and they downgraded the flight to a smaller plan. Thus changed the whole day and there were no longer seats available. By 8:00 pm it was obvious that we were not going home on Monday. Thankfully, Bryan & Becca picked us up for some sleep and try again tomorrow.

Tuesday morning dawned pretty much the same without much difference. I flew standby on Southwest home. Dave and the kids flew home also on Southwest via Reno and Cedar City.

We all made it home by 7:00 pm that night. Nobody is interested in flying for awhile. However, we would still love to visit Seattle again.

Seattle: Walking the Dogs

What would our visit be without the other members of their family Bear & Vader. The kids loved playing ball with them and it was time to walk them. Too bad they didn't know that Uncle Bryan ment business and we were off.

Were tired!!

Back on the trail again.


Ryder had to ride the Harley even though he looks like an alien or bobble head.

The Boys.

It was time for bed and rest up for the trip home. We had such a good time and look forward to visiting again.

Saturday Activity: How to Plant Veggies

I just had to fit one more activity in this weekend. We were off to Star Nursery to learn how to plant seeds that just happened to be green beans.

Reganne..I want the big pot.

Planting the seeds.

Look!!! I did it all by myself.

That was quick and fun. Now we have to remember to water them and hopefully in about 6 weeks we might have something to eat.

If they live!!!

Baby Quincy

The little man we were all excited to meet and welcome to the family Bryan Quincy Biggs. He was asleep for most of the afternoon. As he started to stir the kids gathered around eager to hold him.

Look Mom I can do it myself.

He is so cute! Don't drop me Reganne.

My Turn!!

They started to fight who was going to hold him next. I sure he felt like a football being passed around. As long as his belly was full he was a good sport.

Seattle: To the Forest

After a stop at Bryan & Becca's for a potty stop. We were off to more sight seeing around Enumclaw and onto the forest. WOW is the only way to describe the lush green forest at the Mud Mountain Dam Park.

Hiking back to the top. Ryder complained the whole hike. I hate to hike!!!

Mossy tree cut in half to complete the trail.

The temp dropped and cooled off. The girls wanted their jackets, but soon sidetracked by Uncle Bryan.

Everyone was hungry and tired of playing. We made a quick stop for pizza & bread sticks that were to die for.

Quincy's Blessing

Sunday morning dawned chilly and a little overcast, but no rain.

The man of the hour.

Getting ready and almost a smile.

Mom & Son

The proud family

Then I had to ruin it and join in the fun.

This brings back memories of holding Bryan when he was this size.

I won't complain about our 5 minute ride to church again. It was about a 1/2 hour with the kids constantly asking if we were there yet.

Seattle Trip: The Beach

Last weekend we were lucky enough to make it to Seattle and visit Bryan, Becca, and Quincy. After making the flight by the skin of our teeth everyone was hungry and ready to explore. A quick lunch to Popeyes for some Southern Fried Chicken. We were off to explore. Our first stop was the Radonodo Beach. The kids weren't sure what to expect and weren't very excited. As soon as we arrived the excitement kicked in and they were ready to explore.

Wow, look at all that waters.

This is cold water. Don't get too wet.


Collecting Sea Shells

Let's try to pose.

The autoflush toilets and smell soon drove us to leave and explore somewhere else. The weather was awesome.
