Daddy's Trip to Seattle

Two weeks ago Josh went to Seattle for 5 days for Chuck's wedding. Chuck and Josh were best friends in college, and we were really happy that he found the right girl :) Sounds like he had a blast playing games, hitting some of his favorite Seattle hangouts, and just hanging out with the guys! He stayed at Bryan and Rika's house in Bellevue, and despite having the flu while he was there, had a great time!

Meanwhile - I played the role of single parent and luckily Gona and Baca could help me out! I was traveling the whole week and definitely went past daycare hours a few times! The kids did great, and we had fun just the three of us!

Weeknights, the kids were in bed by 8, and so was mommy! That weekend we hit the mall to return a shirt and it ended up taking us three hours :) It was partially because it was so crowded and because we really had no agenda. We returned my shirt, then walked the whole length of mall (little Zachey's legs were tired!) and we ended up at the play area.



I didn't get too many pictures of the kids playing, but there is a slide, book area and lots of these silly soft things to climb on - probably like every mall. That wore them out and they were starving, so after a quick lunch we went down to the santa area.

Kenna BEGGED to go on this train..and for $1 a ride....seemed like a fun way to end the trip.



It went around like a zillion times...I was falling asleep waiting! Guess it was worth the buck! The kids were totally pooped, and both fell asleep in the car on the way home. I spent the rest of the day finishing my holiday baking and wrapping.

That night we headed to Gona and Baca's in the afternoon to play in all the new snow! Zachey and Kenna had a minor meltdown in the foyer as we were attempting to get snowpants on...but once outside loved the snow! It was only like 15 degrees...so we didn't stay out long, but did catch the sun as it was setting!




Kenna thought  Baca's snow angels were "really cool!" and even Zachey got down to walk around for a little while! We had a great weekend, but were glad when Daddy got home....I think I am still tired!
