Labor Day weekend

What an adventure: The Skinner's headed to Seattle for Brian and Rika's wedding. We left on Thursday night to drive to Kansas City. We speant the night with Chad, Tara and Chloe and had a great time. The girls weren't really aware of eachother's existance yet, but McKenna had a blast playing with the new toys. Chad and Josh played Halo until the wee hours of the morning. We caught a plane to Denver at 11am and arrived in Seattle at 3pm. McKenna was an angel. She only got a little fussy during the first takeoff. After that she slept, ate, or played the entire time.

In Seattle we stayed with Chuck and Sam in thier new townhouse. It is very nice and very them :) It was nice to catch up and play card and board games with them again. We had a welcome back BBQ on Friday and almost all of our old Seattle friends made it. Then Saturday morning Gramma and Grampa Rue, and aunti chelsey drove up. We played and went to UW so Chelsey could look around and to get a backdrop for her senior pictures.

That evening we went to Brian and Rika's wedding in Bellevue. It was a beautiful wedding. It was held in an old house overlooking blueberry gardens. The food, drinks and company were all fantastic! Sam speant days preparing 50 little cakes for the event. We speant the previous evening frosting and decorating them. I am sure she had no idea what she was getting into, but they turned out perfectly!Sunday we hug out with gramma and grampa some more. We went to breakfast at thier hotel while Josh slept in from a long night of playing cards. We visited the UW bookstore to buy McKenna her first UW outfit. We also drove by our old Shoreline house to see if they had changed anything. Then Jason came over and we played games all night again.We had to get up really early on Monday to fly home, but even after two plane flights and a three hour drive, McKenna was still in good spirits! What a little travelor!!!
