Seattle Tourists

 We had this weekend planned before we knew 

that our Indonesia family would be coming this summer. 

If we had known, we'd have planned differently,

but it was a great one-nighter that felt like a holiday.

It has become tradition, when we drive somewhere caravan style,

we meet for coffee and feel the excitement of getting going. 

 The little ones could not quite decide if this elevator ride to the 13th floor 

was terrific or terrifying. 

 But for sure the pool was wonderful! 

 Jack is learning to swim.

 The babies in their respective families

have a special connection too. 

The second day we headed to the T-Mobile Park 

where we also met up with our office staff and families.

 For some reason it was "sit on Papa and Mimi's laps" day! 

I did not get pictures of how the cotton candy, ice cream, hot dogs, nachos and drinks

were the most important thing ...

I guess I did not even get pictures of the game

or the guy that decided to jump the fence and cause a big commotion.

But it was all good, except that "our team" (as the kids called it) lost. 

At the end of the game, all the kids were given a chance to run the bases.

And that was a win!
