Our Family Trip


We Left on Friday Nov.14 after Mike got off work So we left about 6:00. We drove to Twin Falls Idaho. Spent the night and then got up the next morning and drove to Oregon to see My dad OPAH as the kids would say. We did not get to spent to much time with him he had to go back to work on Monday. Cassidy did read him a book or two. Then off to see Mike's Grandma. She lives in Eugen Oregon. We had a great time with her we went out to lunch. She is fighting cancer and she is almost blind but she always had a smile on her face. My kids don't really remember her when she lived her in SLC but they sure do love her and she sure does love them.
And because the kids missed a whole week of school we had to do homework on our trip I tried to get it all done in the first few days. But I think we did homework at least everyday. But we got it all done.

Then off to see Grandma Kathy in Seattle. Oh how I love this place. All of the fresh seafood yummy. We had such a good time. The girls got to go to a Build a bear Look alike Place and Make there stuff animals. Cassidy is into Seals So that is what she got and Caitlyn Loves her Bear.

We also went to the Chocolate factory and got some yummy chocolates.


Then of course we hit the famous place in Seattle Pikes Market. My Favorite place. Got some fresh Fish, claims, mussels, squid, and scallops. And yes I cooked it all and ate it all too. mmmmm




You can't forget the Snowqualmie Falls it was sooooo cold that day but it was worth it to see the falls the kids love it here. Next time we will go when it is a little bit warmer so we can hike down to the bottom.










Last but not least we took the kids to the Children's Museum we spent at least 3 to 4 hours there it was awesome. the all had a blast. Lots of hands on stuff. Way fun....

We returned home Sunday Nov 23. It was a way fun trip. The kids did not want to come home.

I haven't seen you or talked to you for so long!!! Between our two family vacations, we've missed each other. I wanted to take the chance to tell you I am grateful for the chance to have worked with you and get to know you!! It's probably good you missed the actual "releasing", I was pretty emotional... and you're the only one who cries more than me!!! Talk to you soon!
