A visit from Dave's parents and sister.:)

A few weeks ago Dave's Mom, Dad and Sister came to visit for a few days.



Dylan would sit for quite a while on Grandpa Jay's lap and read books.

On the Saturday they were here we, went down to the Seattle Center. There were policemen on horses, so the kids had to go say hello. If you look closely, you can see that the horse was trying to eat Scott's hair.:)


At the Seattle Center they have this big water squirter thing. The kids wanted to go down there so much, but unfortunately their mommy didn't want them wet walking around the rest of the day. Maybe another time...:)


This picture doesn't really do it justice, but it was PACKED there that day. They were having a big festival there called Taste of Seattle, or the Big Bite or something. We could barely walk around in most places!




They had a maze for the kids to run around in. One of the least crowded places. Hooray!




Next, we rode on one of the Seattle Duck tours. Our family did a Duck Tour in Boston last year, so the kids were excited to go again. The Duck Tours drive around Seattle pointing out interesting sights, like the very first Starbucks, and very first Nordstrom (whoo hoo!), before heading to Lake Union to enter the lake as a boat. The kids love the lake part.:)


Don't you love wind blown hair?! That is Gas Works Park behind us.


After the Duck Tour, we went up to the top of the Space Needle for the first time. I love that it was dusk when we got to go.



Here's Dave with his Mom and Sister. We had lot of fun while they visited. We even braved the Pike Place market again while they were here. Thanks for coming Jay, Vinnie, and Kim! We miss you guys!

So many visitors! That is awesome!

We LOVE Dippin' Dots! You guys should definitely find a weekend to go to Hershey Park. Or maybe a Friday. :) It was very fun.

We will be moving back to Ithaca August 21st. We are very excited!

That plant is just a bamboo plant. Not a fern at all. We call it a Love Fern because of the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It is a plant that represents our love. It's kind of a joke but it's fun.

Maybe the horse thought Scott's hair was a carrot. :D Top of the space needle was a great panarama view. Next time for sure for us.
