Summer Stay

Last week, the kids and I flew to Washington to visit Papa and Nana for our big summer trip. Peter couldn't come since he was bonding with males on the High Adventure in Catalina Island. We missed him (especially on the airplane), but we had a wonderful time. Here are the highlights...

When we arrived in Seattle, we were greeted by Papa and Nana. We all then headed to the Olive Garden to have dinner with Scott and Sara.
Over the next few days, we had dance parties, watched movies, spent the night at Scott and Sara's house (Dallin), milked the cow that Nana made for Pioneer day,

visited with Grandma GG,

played games,

celebrated belated half-birthdays :),

played with some of our very favorite people,

went on a nature walk,

played at the park,

had a picnic in the back of Papa's truck,

and met up at the mall with some fun friends (thanks for the fun afternoon Rachel!).

The greatest highlight of our trip was our overnight stay at the Great Wolf lodge.

Papa and Nana took us to this amazing hotel filled with magician games,

yummy food,

bedtime stories, a bunk bed in a cave,

an arcade, and an amazing indoor water park.

(see my Mom above in the hotel lobby with sleeping Spencer and my Dad, Dallin and Claire playing at the water park behind her... so fun).

It was my kids dreamland.

This was how we all felt after our fun summer getaway:

Thanks Papa, Nana, Scott, Sara and Grandma GG for a super-fun visit!!!
