SEATTLE!

As I mentioned earlier in another post, a few weeks ago Zach went to Seattle for work and Andrew and I were able to go with him. We had SO MUCH FUN! I have decided I love Seattle...that is when it is not raining and cold I mean:) I had so much fun when I was there. Andrew and I played lots with Missy and her little boy Madden which was so fun. We also got to see Blake and Ali. I was hoping the whole time I was there that Ali would magically go into labor so we could be there when they had their baby, but little did we know that little Paigey Poo had other plans. Ha! Anyways, the trip was great. Here are some pictures:

One night Zach met me, Andrew, Blake and Ali at the park after dinner. It was really one of the coolest parks I have ever seen. The playground equipment was totally original and so fun. This is pretty pathetic...but this is the first time we have actually put Andrew in a swing! Every time I go to a park at home they never have the baby swings anymore! He loved it and could not stop laughing!

Climbing with Daddy, Andrew's best buddy.

They had this zipline-like thing that Zach took Andrew on. It was a hit.

Loving the swing!

Missy and I went to Pike's Place Market (I think that is what it is called...I am drawing a blank at the moment!) one day with the boys and then did a little shopping downtown afterwards. Here we are in the dressing room and they are entertaining themselves on the bench. Shopping together was surprisingly easy and fun because they just played together the whole time!

Outside the Farmers Market. It is a wonder we got this picture, since we stood there for probably ten minutes debating on who we would ask to take the picture for us!

Oh the fruit stands. Seriously everything looked so delicious. We each bought a little box of fresh raspberries and ate them right then! They were SO GOOD!

The flowers were beautiful too. These were our favorites: Peonies. These are the exact flowers and even the exact colors I had in my wedding bouquet!

Another day Missy and I took the boys to a Children's Museum in Seattle. The place was practically empty for some reason and we had it all to ourselves. Andrew was in heaven because they had the front of a real semi-truck in there that they could climb in. Andrew is severely OBSESSED with trucks right now. And let me explain what a "truck" in his mind is: a real truck, motorcyle, bike, or scooter.

I told him to kiss the little creature and he did. He loves animals:)

Ok I think this picture wins for the whole trip. Missy and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner after our day of shopping and Andrew and Madden seriously were like having a conversation with each other at the end of the table. I love this picture because at that moment Madden had done something to make Andrew laugh really hard. They are little buddies!

Deep conversation.

Baby-sized smoothies from Jamba Juice!! And balloons from Nordstrom of course to keep them happy:)
