WE'VE BEEN....

on a business trip to SEATTLE.

We got a late start so we had some sleepy boys. Larry and Laird enjoyed their DS's...

We ran into our awesome, wild and crazy friends, Shane and Heidi, on the freeway, they were on their way to TACOMA...

Friends, Brandi and Eric (SUPER FUN FAMILY!!!) invited us to stay with them.

When we FINALLY got to their house, Landon walked right through the screen of their front door.

Nothing says thanks for welcoming us to your home, like walking through a screen door....

Their children, Amara (who saved Lach by noticing he was chewing on a rock!), Sully and Finn are AWESOME...

The kids got along GREAT and had so much fun together....

Larry, Laird, Finn and Amara....

The following morning we headed down to ALKI. I would never tire of looking at the Seattle cityscape.

We had GORGEOUS weather and the Blue Angels were overhead...

We were there for the DRAGONFLY JAM, which is a longboarding event where boards are displayed and you get to ride and try out different styles and get information, etc...

There was a great turnout and it was a lot of fun....

Even Finn was getting into it. He is only 2 but he can already push!....

Larry J stayed behind to help his dad while Brandi and I took the kids and went for a LONG walk. We ended up finding ICE CREAM and boy was it good....

After we were done at Alki, we got pizza and went to Lake Washington. The kids had a BLAST!

Sully, Landon, Amara, Laird, Larry....

Finn and Landon....

When we got back, Landon pee'd on the front lawn....Yeah, next time we're probably going to be staying in a hotel.....

Brandi and Eric, thanks for the hospitality. We had a great time!
