Hooray Visitors!

Last week was fun for us! Our friends Alyson, Treyton, and Jayci came out from Virginia (via Texas) to visit us in Seattle! We haven't seen the Sharps in almost two years, but Madison and Treyton picked up right where they left off and played with each other the whole time. Jayci and Hayes were probably overshadowed by their more extroverted older siblings, but they did have a great time.

While the Sharps were here we dodged the fickle Seattle weather and went to Woodinville to check out one of Alyson's hometowns and visit fellow SVU alum Mary Rudd. The next day we went to the Woodland Park Zoo, and the kids had a great time. Alyson and I left Joe with all the kids that night (chill out, most of them were already in bed) and went and saw Twilight. On Thursday we headed down to Gig Harbor, just south of Tacoma, and went to Kolpachuk State Park. It was a steep and muddy hike down to the beach, but it was pretty there. The kids found some water to play in and trees to climb on and had a great time. I had a seasonal allergy meltdown while there, and spent most of the time sneezing. It was still fun though. It was so fun to see our friends again, I think Alyson and I both got a lot of reading time because our kids kept each other occupied! It was so nice. Now we just need Nate to get a residency here...
