Mariners Fan Fest

Yesterday we skipped swim lessons to head to Safeco Field! It was a beautiful {sunny} day. We took the ferry over and then walked the 13 blocks to the field. We were surprised to see how many fans showed up to support the Mariners! About 98% of them were decked out in Seahawks gear (lol). We got some autographs, ran the bases, checked out the locker rooms and played in the kids area. The kids really had fun, although Garrison was disappointed he didn't get to see any Seahawks! After the fun, we walked over to Pyramid Brewhouse. We've been meaning to go there since we moved up here - so we got to cross it off our list! We then headed back to the ferry terminal and realized we missed it by 5 minutes.. So we decided to pass the time with ice cream cones! It was  so nice to be out in the sunshine the entire day!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Last weekend we went to pick out our very first {real} Christmas tree! We first went out for breakfast and made the 1/2 hour trip out to the tree farm. It was a beautiful, sunny day and so many beautiful trees to pick from! The kids had a ball running through the fields of trees and riding on the antique tractor ride. We haven't brought our tree home yet. We picked it out and tagged and can't wait to go after Thanksgiving to experience the fun again!

The ride was a little bumpy!

Mountains make the perfect backdrop for a Christmas Tree Farm, if you ask me!

Best Buds!

Halloween 2013 - The Lion & The Bumblebee

This years Halloween was pretty low key, since we were in the middle of moving. We didn't make it to any fall/harvest/Halloween parties like we usually do. Grayson wore her bumblebee costume that she had from her performance in Beauty & The Beast and Garrison wore a lion costume I got a costume swap.

On Halloween afternoon, we headed downtown to the parks and rec building... Where they had a lil party for toddlers. It was really pretty adorable. Then we walked through downtown and went trick or treating from store to store. They had shut down the streets and it was packed, but the kids had fun! All in all our Halloween experience lasted only about 1.5 hours this year. And as for the candy... It's almost gone!

Vacation Summer '13

We came back from vacation, roughly, 8 weeks ago. I haven't gotten around to editing any of the pictures and have come to the realization that I probably never will. So here they are..... (I still need to do another blog of my iPhone pics)

To sum up our 2 week long vacation:

long plane rides. family. cousins. aunts. uncles. mothers. fathers. sisters. brothers. abuelita. abuelito. pool. beach. eating. busch gardens. dolphin tours. shopping. ice cream. kites. dominos. laughs. tears. movies. sand. boats. baby showers. restaurants. playgrounds. trolleys. fishing. exhaustion.

What? Last day of vacation?
