We finally got all the grandkids together in one spot! What a crazy bunch we have!!!
Left to right: Tyler holding Nolan-Dale-Gunner-Andrew-Kayla-Dustin-Papa Brad holding Cole-Madelynn-Gramma Christine with Laura on her lap.
Mike's younger sister Kiley and Family (Tony, Tyler, and Dustin) came for a week visit. Everyone had tons of fun playing and just hanging out. The first day Tiffany set up a really great "Cousins Birthday Carnival". Everyone who played won some sort of prize no matter their skill level. They all had a blast!
Tony gave out dollar bills for certain balloons popped!
Even Cole got in on the action. He stole the bowling pins and felt pretty good about it!
Gramma Christine made some pretty fantastic snow cones!!
All the kids exchanged birthday gifts at once. Saves on postage and everyone was a winner!
The next day we let the boys play hookie from school and packed a picnic lunch and headed to the Woodland Park Zoo.
Check out the animals we ran into! I think I'll keep these!
Papa Jeep (aka. George Mike's dad) came with us to the zoo.
Then the following day we hit the road northward to go hiking Mt. Ranier. But before we got there we took a break here to climb and dig a bit!
The kids had fun pretending to be mountain climbers. They scarmbled up this rock pretty quickly! Laura and Dustin just played with the gravel in the mini sand box...
Then off to the mountain for some hiking...
Until we ran into all this snow. Who would have known. Needless to say, the trail was closed for us that brought our babies. Too much snow for them. So we hung out in the lodge and visitors center (way cool) and took a break for a little snow fight!
Cole's 1st real snow adventure! He looks happy enough.
Later that evening Kiley, Tony, Mike and I went up to Seattle for a night on the town. Mike's mom took this one of us before we left...felt a little like prom night...just dressed down a smidge!
We ate dinner at Anthony's on the water front then caught a show and had dessert down at Jazz Alley. Fantastic music and atmosphere. Super relaxing, we all almost fell asleep!
For Christine's birthday we went to a Mariner's game. Ironically enough Seattle played Baltimore that evening...Kiley and Tony's home town!
Christine and Brad got better seats from a lady on the street-Happy Birthday to you Christine! They were just under us.
Note Tyler's face: He just ate 3/4 of a HUGE doughtnut/cake they bought at a local bakery! It was seriously as big as a toddler's bike tire! It looked really good though :0)!
And to keep the good times rolling we spent the next day swimming and eating more yummy food! Why not celebrate a few birthdays while we're at it! Christine, Madelynn, and Kayla! Just the beginning of June.
