Grammy came for a visit!

Chris' mom came up a few weeks ago to spend some time with us and relax. We had a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed having her here. We played at the parks, went for walks, went to the aquarium, rode the water taxi, went and got milkshakes, went shopping, you know all the fun stuff you get to do when grandparents come. It's always fun to do these things, but it's great when someone visits and you get to share it with them. Brooklyn loved showing Grammy all the things she could do and they had so much fun playing. Beckham especially enjoyed reading books with Grammy. He would go get a book hand it to her and then turn around and back up into her to have a seat and read, it was so cute. Here are some pictures of the aquarium and the water taxi. We all had a fun time, and it's so fun seeing Beckham's reaction to things as he gets older. There was also a street fair going on outside the aquarium, and Brooklyn got her face painted. It was a beautiful butterfly, she loved it! We were also able to go on a hike that Chris and I have wanted to do for over a year. We love rattlesnake lake, a little lake about 30 miles east of Seattle and we go there often to get away and play. Well we wanted to hike the ridge that overlooks the lake so we did it and it really wasn't that bad. 2 miles up and 2 miles down carrying the kids, but it was beautiful and well worth it. We would like to live near this town once we are ouy of school, isn't ir gorgeous The view of the ridge from the bottom And Chris and I are still kids...we dared each other to jump in with all our clothes and race out to a big stump....Chris just about chickened out when I totally went for it, making him have to do it....it was fun and it felt great! Back at the house with the bird Beckham and his book buddy Guess what Brooklyn is going to be for halloween?? But she says she is a good witch, not a bad one At the park having fun And a cute little video of Beckham riding a horse, what a stinkin cute kid!
