Washington

We went to Seattle, Washington for almost 2 weeks. It was a nice break from Logan and the girls had so much fun with their cousins! We spent a few days with my brother, Dave and his family and then we met up with Josh's family for a week for wedding activities, etc. I was looking forward to cool weather, but of course the heat followed us and there was record setting temperatures and no one has AC! It was hot but it did cool off as we were there, and the house we were staying at with Josh's family had a pool so that was nice to cool off in. Below are a bunch of pictures showing what we did on our trip. :)


Since it was going to be Erin's b'day soon the last night with the family we did a cake for her. She was so excited to have some birthday time with Josh's family.

Gary and Nancy (Josh's parents) at their 40th anniversary party that we put together for them.

Snoqualmie Falls--a beautiful waterfall and a nice hike to the bottom of them.

One really tired girl...

My mom came into town after we met up with Josh's family so we went back to Dave's house for Sunday dinner so we could have a little time all together.

Erin was a crazy dancer all night long! This was her about 10:30 pm--she was practically break dancing on the floor! She had the attention of everyone! About 10 minutes after this picture was taken she completely shut down in Josh's arms. lol Erin called it a 'dancing party'.

Nancy and Erin dancing after the wedding...

Gary and Bailey-Bailey wanted to dance the night away with pretty much every man in the room. Although her Papa (Gary) got the most dances. She had a lot of fun.

Dan (Josh's brother) and Kim (the newest addition to the family). Such a nice wedding and a wonderful time. Welcome Kim!

Before the wedding....

Bailey and Erin were super excited to be flower girls! :) They did a good job!

Josh, Pete, Gary, Chris, and Dan--the male Runhaar's! :)

Bailey "relaxing"

Erin...that girl can be crazy at times! No fear is her motto!

We went to a fun splash park near Dave's house. Nice way to cool off during the day.

And of course Dave got roped into a game of Go Fish with Bailey. Notice the dart stuck to his head? The girls loved all the dart guns that Braeden had to play with.

The girls first carousel ride....

Bailey, Erin, and I on the waterfront in Seattle.

These were the best peaches I have ever had...They melted in my mouth! I had to take a picture of them and the sign because when I tasted them I said: "Oh My Gosh!" Which is pretty much what they are called. lol

We went to a Children's Museum and Erin, of course, found the dress-ups!

When we were with Dave and his family, the girls quickly learned that Braeden's favorite thing to play is "army". It was funny to listen to them put together 'army men' and 'house'. It was a great combination!
