Spring Break

For Spring Break this year, we decided to fly up to Washington state and visit my family. It has been since September since everyone else has seen the kids. We left on a Friday at the crack of dawn. Oh what fun it is to travel with 2 kids on your lap especially ones that have been up since 4:30 in the morning.

We had such a variety of weather. When we landed, it was a snow/rain mix. Steve and I went out later on that day with a realtor (yes, we are looking for a house up there to buy. Our plan is to move in 5 yrs when Steve retires.) and were out on the Sammamish Plateau and it was full on snowing. Hello! It doesn't snow that much in Seattle let alone in April. A few days later, it was sunny and then when we left it was raining. Go figure! Steve was able to catch a Mariner's game with my dad, sister and brother in law. Grammy and I stayed behind and took the kids to the park and froze our you know what's off. Thank God for the Starbucks before hand. The funny thing is I had just come from a swim meet at school the day before where I was pulling my capri pants up to get some sun since it was in the low 80's. What a drastic change.

On Saturday night, we celebrated my sister in laws 40th birthday. It started to snow again that night but this time it was actually sticking to the ground. We took the kids outside and my little cautious one Kyle did NOT like the snow. He didn't want a lot to do with it. Of course Brooke would have been out there forever. Here are some pictures of the kids in the snow:



We always new that Kyle loved music so we put him up at the piano and he had a blast. He would just be pounding away at the ole ivories.


We had a great week and as usual, it went by too fast. I miss being around my family and I hate the fact that the kids are growing up NOT being around them that much. Family was always so huge when I was growing up. I would move back this summer if it was possible but Steve has 5 more years. We'll be back up there this summer hopefully with some nicer weather.
