Seattle - September 2011

At the beginning of September, we took a week long trip to Seattle. Troy's cousin was getting married and all of the family was going to be in town. We decided that the best time to travel is summer. We get away from the heat and our parents live in climates (Seattle and Pocatello) that are cold in the winter, but perfect in the summer.

First on the agenda was making sure Erica touched the "princess" dress.




The reception was at a waterfront property at sunset. It was beautiful!!


While in Seattle we we took a ferry to Blake Island. It was in the 70s and perfect. We hung out there all day playing on the beach, taking walks, eating and trying to sleep. We just enjoyed being with family. Erica especially loved playing with her cousins.



Another day was spent playing on the lake. Troy's parents resurrected an old boat and the boys attempted to wakeboard in the worst conditions I have ever seen. Picture Labor Day on Lake Washington. It was more like the ocean and the boat had as much power as a jet ski. It was still fun and the kids got a tube ride as well.

Troy's parents also set up a swimming pool in the backyard. Even Opa enjoyed playing in it.



We had a great time and it passed too quickly.
