Seattle!

Well, we made it. Some called us crazy for flying across the country with a five month old baby, but we survived!! We arrived home last night from visiting Craig's brother and family in Seattle. Last time we visited Craig had food poisoning the entire time and it poured rain. We were able to see the city this time and there was hardly a cloud in the sky!

Kay did wonderfully on the trip. Although we traveled "infant in arms" style (without Kay having an assigned seat) all legs but one had an extra seat for her. Everyone on the planes loved watching Kay because she would smile, giggle, and flirt with everyone. She did not make a peep or cry the entire time. Thankfully, she slept or played for most of it! We were so proud of being able to pack light enough to carry on. We had only a 30 minute layover each direction and on the way home we ended up running through the airport to make it because of a late flight. We did not want to get stuck in an airport for hours! Kay's favorite part of the airplane ride was getting to see the Cascade mountains out of the window.


Walking around downtown Seattle...
We met Uncle Phil for lunch at a yummy restaurant and then went to pick up Hazel and Miles. The downtown was decorated for the holidays. Kay was asleep the entire time so we missed out on the ride on the carousel. Miles and Craig had a blast in the back seat of the van on the way home.



Playing at Phil and Malia's house...
The girls had matching PJs so we couldn't resist a picture. Kay loved getting a bath by her aunt. I ate something that bothered Kay's tummy and she screamed all night Saturday night. Malia was nice enough to take a three hour shift for Craig and I so we could get some sleep. Kay was passed out on her dad's lap the next morning because she was so tired (so were we)!



We took a long hike each day we were there. The views were amazing. I can't believe they live just minutes from such great parks and views. Again, Kay was asleep most of the time (she was a little confused about time zones). We took some pictures of her with the views to show her what she missed out on :)
