Washington Vacation

We spent the last week of July in Washington with the Andersons. We had a blast!! We didn't want to come home.
Our kids made the 15 hour drive surprisingly well! Luckily it started out with some sleeping time (we left at 4 a.m.)
We were so happy that LauraLee drove with us. We had so much fun with her!
This is a fun train park we went to.

The Seattle Temple
Snoqualmie Falls
We couldn't get enough swimming time in their beautiful pool!
Cole's proudest moment was learning to "swim across the pool... under the water...
with no life jacket on"
Alaria LOVED hanging out with Malia!
These are from a great park we played at by the temple. It is surrounded with a wooded area, that the kids loved walking through.

Picking fresh raspberries and blueberries. Yummmm....
The results...
While we picked and ate berries, Alaria ate dirt. This is what her face looked like when we left the fields.
What a great week! Spending time with lots of family and having SO much fun! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation!

Wow that was a lot of picture.
That looks like such a fun trip. That is a ton of blueberries and raspberries, makes me hungry for them.
