Luke has gotten to be a pretty good little swimmer this summer. I don't remember the last time he swam with his floaties. He can swim under water and come up for breathes now, which he was having trouble with at the beginning of summer. He likes to do cannon balls into the water, and backflips. Avery thinks she can swim...she has no fear. She likes to jump in too so we have to keep an extra close eye on her.Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Seattle
So from New York we were flying out of JFK, we had to take the subway from the upper east side, then get on the airport shuttle thing. Well we missed our flight to Seattle, and the next one wasn't until 8pm the next evening, so in a little of bit of a panic we ended up flying to Salt lake, getting a southwest flight to Portland and then Roger came to pick us up in his plane and flew us back to my moms. So it was an adventure to say the least...but we got there!
Chad and the kids driving the golf cart up and down the taxi way.
At the Point Defiance zoo in Tacoma. There is a cool aquarium there with sharks and everything.
Luke driving his little boat at Island lake.
We had to go to a Mariners game. This stadium is really nice, we went with my brothers and had a really good time.
Playing in the water at Island Lake.
After our trip back east, we came back to visit with my mom in Washington. Chad stayed 4 days and we had a really nice time. He had never been up there, we drove around so I could show him the area, we took the kids to Luke's favorite park (castle park), we took the ferry over to Seattle and went to a baseball game, we just had a nice time. After Chad left, the kids and I stayed another week. The weather was really nice, a big difference from being hot and humid.

Our trip back east
Chad, his parents and myself (no kids) went back to Boston and New york for a little trip, it all started because this is the last year for Yankee stadium. We ended up going to Boston first, and we all had a blast, Chad loves it! We did the normal tourist stuff, our hotel was right downtown so that was awesome. We went to a Red Sox game (the Angels won!) it was so cool to be at Fenway, you can feel the history. We also met up with Heather a couple times. It was so nice to see her. We took the old town trolley tour, walked through Boston Common, did the swan boats (of course) and saw the 'make way for ducklings' statues, did fanuel hall and quincy market, ate REALLY GOOD food the whole time!!! Chad even likes seafood, he ate lobster ravioli and clam chowder. When the kids are older I definately want to take them back, it's just a really fun city to visit. Plus that's where my mom is from so it's a little sentimental for me, remembering things from visiting when I was little.
New York was our next stop. Chad was not impressed, we saw the world trade center site, the statue of liberty, Times square, went to a broadway play (Young Frankenstien), perfected the subway, went to soho (which was my favorite part), again we ate really good food (the pizza is so good). We went to the FDNY museum which was pretty cool. We also ate a restaurant called Mickey Mantles (Chad's dad is a mantle fan). But once you do all the tourist stuff really all there is to do is eat, shop, eat, and shop; so for people on a budget (like us) not the best place to be. Oh, the whole reason we went...We went to yankee stadium (the Angels won!) and we were not impressed at all, it's nothing like Fenway, just very generic, no real charm or character.All in all our trip was fun, and we enjoyed ourselves...except for our flight back (to Seattle to visit my mom).
Pregnant friends
It's funny how we are all pregnant at the same time. When Amy told me that she was pregnant she kept joking that I should be too so our little ones could be buddies. I kept saying yeah right, we're not even thinking about it right now....God had other plans I guess, so here we all are. Danielle is due first, sept. 13, Amy is due Oct. 4 and I'm due Nov. 17. I'm excited that we'll all have babies to grow up together, my kids will be close to all my best girlfriends' kids.
