Seattle Road Trip
After we got our new van on Sunday we decided to take it for a little road trip. So we headed to the states. We picked up a Buteau on the way and off we went.
The border line-up was a bit of a wait but we made the most of it by hitting the duty free shop where Nick got some rye. We stayed in Everett at the Holiday Inn, the next morning we had a big breakfast and the Hotel supplied "To Go" bags with snacks and drinks!
Natalie and I did a little shopping in the morning while Nick took the kids swimming.
Then we were off to Seattle.
We took the kids down to the boardwalk and had dinner at our favorite seafood place called The Crab Pot.
On our way home we tried to hit the LuLuLemon outlet but were 5 minutes too late...they were closed. Oh well, just another reason to go down again!

We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Everett, they had a pool and hot tub so the kids had a great time...until some kid puked and everyone was evacuated from the pool area.

Carter cracks me up! The first picture is his "funny" one, then I asked him to take a "nice" one...and he has a huge booger on his cheek. Turns out the one with the goggles is the "nicer" one!

Saylor jumped into the pool about 50 times!


And the one time Nick isn't there to catch her...
She says "where'd you go Daddy"?









Saylor is getting quite brave in the pool!!

We saw this restaurant and thought of our good friends!



The kids and I got out of the van for a stretch while Nick went shopping at
the BIG 5 Sporting Goods store.




Life imitating art!

Looks like Lincoln is a bit hungry too?!?!

Natalie ate her weight in shell fish!

Nick is prepared for the CRAB POT!!

2 guys doing balloon animals made the kids hats, swords and hearts.
The one guy told jokes while he twisted the balloons. So Lucas told him his joke...
What did the sushi say to the bee?
Wa sa bi (what's up bee?)




Say and her balloon heart.
