Seattle

Rylee talked all week before we went about going in the airplane to see her Daddy in Seattle. When she saw him (for the first time in 4 weeks) she was SO excited! She was sitting in the stroller and saw him by the car and started bouncing up and down and giggling and yelling "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"
I didn't take as many pictures as normal during this leg of the trip, either. Probably because we spent most of our time looking for houses to rent. (We found one in a cute town called Lake Stevens. It's about 30 minutes from downtown, but feels like it's tucked away on it's own and is beautiful and feels very family friendly. I'm honestly not very excited about leaving our house and friends in Utah, but if we have to move, I think that this will be a good place to go...)
The one touristy thing that we did was go to the aquarium. Both of the girls really liked looking at all the fish. I think Rylee's favorites were the jelly fish, the tank that had fish from "Finding Nemo," and the seals and otters.
Rylee got very good at hotel life. She knew which buttons to push on the "alligator" (elevator) and liked to take "bubble baths" in the spa by the pool. For some reason, she wanted nothing to do with the actual pool beyond the steps, but she did like the spa.
This little frog was Rylee's best friend at the hotel. He was down in the lobby, and she loved to go over and "smell" the flowers in his hand, and hug and kiss him.




We were sad to leave Quinn behind when we came back home on Thursday, but were very glad to be home ourselves. Cailyn even smiled when she saw her bed and went down without a fuss at all! I thought it would take her a few nights to get back to her normal sleep habits, but she slept straight through the night and right on in until 11:30 the next morning! Poor baby, had a lot of sleep to catch up on from all the traveling...

  1. One of my kids (i can't remember wich one) calls elevators "alligators." That's funny. I am so sad you guys are moving, but also very excited for you too!
