After not having made it to Seattle these past three years we certainly made up for lost time on this trip! The four of us spent a full week at the beach house before Bill had to return home for work, then the girls and I stayed on for another week and a half. It was WONDERFUL to spent time with Todd and officially meet Jessica for the first time – we had not seen Todd in well over a year since he had been teaching in China. Bill and I did a night away with them in Seattle before heading back for the 4th of July.

We had so much time there to do everything we love about the beach house – boating, kayaking, walking in the mud flats, searching for crabs, eating all of Grandma and Grandpa’s delicious food :), visiting LaConner, the aquarium, the children’s museum in Everett, bbq’s, smores, Apples to Apples, many bottles of wine, etc.

Mark, Pinata, Leela and Tevin joined us the last weekend and it was so nice to see them and watch the cousins playing together. We look forward to our next visit to Seattle, when a new cousin will be added to the mix (!!) – we promise it won’t be another 3 years!

We are SO thankful to my parents for their endless hospitality. We appreciate all your hard work (and groceries)! 🙂 XO
