Sleeping in Seattle

Right after we arrived at Emily's home, someone commented to her that the best way to get a baby NOT to come is for her parents to arrive. After a week, it seemed like this might be the case. We decided to test the theory, so we took the boys and got out of town for the weekend. We took the kids to visit their cousins in the Seattle area. The bonus was that we got to visit our daughter and her family, as well.

It was pretty much a party all weekend as the kids played,

swam,

ate (a lot), and slept together.


For the kids, probably their favorite activity was playing a video game "You're in the Movies" and seeing the movies that were compiled from the segments they acted out. Pretty funny! Even Grandma and Grandpa got in the act!

Two unexpected happy experiences included David cheering for Julie, Caleb, and Kate in a 5K in a nearby town and I was in Relief Society on Sunday when Julie taught the lesson.

We loved the opportunity to see our family in Seattle and, most importantly, Brad and Emily had a fun weekend together- a good thing before being "tied down" with a new baby and three very active boys! We're still waiting, but the end is in sight- Sunday, at the latest!
