4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

Our friends, Kyle and Kate, got married over the holiday weekend, so we headed over to Seattle to attend the wedding and enjoy the weekend with family. On Saturday, we went to the park in downtown Bellevue and had dinner. Then the boys (minus little Zack) went to the Mariners game and the girls went shopping.

7/2 Mattie, CJ, and Zack playing at the park in Bellevue. And, look! CJ swinging on the big-boy swing all by himself for the first time!

After sacrament meeting on Sunday, Bryce and Paige left the kids with Gramma and Papa, and took off the catch a ferry to Vashon Island for Kyle and Kate's wedding. They were married by the lighthouse and the weather was beautiful...but not as beautiful as the bride!

7/3 Bryce and Kyle are both first year associates at JDSA, but the only other people from Bryce's firm at the wedding were Jim and Carol Danielson (Jim is a managing partner), so we spent most of the day with them. It was great to get to know them better and really was such fun!

The 4th was spent at the park, at the Crossroads mall riding the 25 cent rides (isn't that great?!), playing in the kiddie pool in the backyard, at a BBQ at the White's, and seeing the fireworks of Wenatchee as we drove home.

7/4 Happy 4th of July! The cousins - CJ, Zack, and Mattie - wearing the holiday clothes Gramma got them

CJ was trying to hug Mattie and she refused. Why can't we get a picture of these two actually showing some love for each other?? :)

These kiddos could have stayed on this 25 cent carousel all day

Happy 4th of July!
