Snow in Seattle!







That's right; we actually got snow while we were on our trip to Seattle. So, the weather wasn't the best (even for Seattle), but we made up for it having a LOT of fun. We flew in on Thursday and Kellie, Alex and Isabella picked us up. Annie went with Alex and Isabella to their swimming lessons and they all had some fun riding around in a big rubber boat. Then, they had a nice warm bath and Annie's first slumber party. The next day we went to the Children's museum. The three girls were so fun to watch with each other. They tired each other out running, jumping (including off furniture), and eating lots of snacks (Harry liked that part too). We also made it to the Science Center and the Aquarium. I think the Science Center was a family favorite. They had a very cool toddler play area for Harry to actually get out of the stroller and play. Annie played forever in the big tree house, held sea creatures, and pet a live cockroach. Grady was holding everybody up trying to read all the science exhibits. Harry got to sneak in the bath with the girls one night - not much cuter than 4 little ones in a tub together. Annie loved Pisco the cat, who did not love Annie chasing him around the house quite as much. Harry made himself at home crawling and climbing all over the house. Annie had to get used to sleeping with her buddies. One night she told us: "tell those guys (Alex and Isabella) no talking." Alex and Bella, who have always slept together do quite a bit of talking, tossing, turning and trading blankets, toys and binkis before they finally crash out sideways and out of the covers. Annie, who barely moves, likes the covers over her head and silence. Kellie also graciously hosted our cousins: Mary Beth, Jason and their daughter Maddie (who was great entertaining the kids). We all had to catch up on our sleep once we got back home, but we can't wait for Alex and Bella to come to Boise soon.
