After spending a week in Spokane with Bret's family, we decided on a bit of a whim to bop over to Seattle. We were hoping to see many friends in the area, including the Christensens who live just north of the city on Whitbey Island. When we talked to them we were excited to hear that our friends the Montierths would also be in town for a couple days, so we booked it cross-state to meet up with them.
Although the weather wasn't amazing that first day (the rest of the week was perfection), we had a delightful time together as we made the rounds to some of the more scenic spots. Ashley Clark and her son Bennett also met up with us for some lunch at the 5 Spot and a stop at Kerry Park. The Clarks were our rocks when we first moved to Seattle so it was great to see them!
Next we hit up Gas Works Park.We loved meeting little Fara Montierth, such a doll!
The huddle. The boys spent a bulk of their time looking up anything and everything we encountered or talked about on their iPhones and researching it. I think here they are trying to identify which house on Lake Union was the Sleepless in Seattle house. They were successful.
The Fremont Troll under the bridge.
Reading to the children. About poop.
That night we took the Ferry over to Whitbey Island and stayed at the Christensen's scenic home and had a group sleepover. P.S. Bret is growing out his hair if you haven't noticed yet.
It was a shining moment in our lives. And yes, I'm aware that I CANNOT carry a tune but I sound particularly bad here. Bret on the other hand has great vocal skills that he rarely exhibits outside of church. It gives me some hope for our children.
We're so glad we got to spend time with such good friends. Thanks to the Christensens for accommodating all of us, including our very light-sleeping child. We had a blast! More pictures of our time in Seattle to come.

Things did indeed get patriotic. And your child wasn't the only light sleeper, so don't feel bad! I'm so glad we got to see you guys. Fara misses her boyfriend Ethan.
Had such a blast with you guys. Thanks for coming! :)
