We just got home from our super fun trip to Yakima and Seattle.
Wednesday
Flew from SD to Seattle, had a 2 hour layover, then off to Yakima.
We were lucky ducks, because Emma slept most of the flights.
Arriving in Yakima.
At our Yakima hotel.
Doug thought that this sign was great, "Pop & Ice."
Who calls it Pop? I guess people in Washington. Luckily Doug has broken himself of this habit.
Then we headed over to visit GG Moreno (Grandma Cherie's Mom).
Emma quickly found and kidnapped her stuffed bears.
The 4 Generations.
This was Emma's 1st time meeting GG Moreno.
We even met one of her neighbors, Chester.
He really loved watching Emma run around, and he even asked if he could sit with us and just watch her. Like many of the residents there, he got a kick out of Emma.
Emma even got a ride with GG Moreno.
Then we headed off to dinner with some more family.
Great Aunt Evelyn wasn't able to make it for dinner, but at least we got to stop by her work and say hi.
Aunt Debbie, Ladonna, Emma & Grandpa Bob at dinner.
Grandma Cherie, Great Aunt Peggy & Great Uncle Tony.
After dinner we headed back to the hotel. Emma got all ready for bed and then stayed with Grandpa Bob while mama and dada went to this ↓ place.
Then Aunt Evelyn and Cherie met up with us for a glass of wine.
Thursday
We woke up, had breakfast and then headed back over to visit with GG Moreno again.
Then we drove back to Seattle from Yakima.
The drive wasn't too bad... there was some snow on the pass and Emma got car sick and puked all over herself. But other than that it was smooth sailing.
We got to Grandma and Grandpa's house and Emma was feeling much better.
Someone got a few gifts. :)
Then we had some family over for dinner.
Great Aunt Linda made it.
So did cousin Aaron, cousin Michelle and her husband Clint.
Someone had crazy hair after we took her piggies out.
Friday
We had ourselves a little
photo shoot... more to come on that one!!!
Then we headed over to meet new little baby Breanna.
Here is the proud daddy and his beautiful little girl.
Jasen (Doug's cousin) and his wife Gabby had Breanna in February.
Aww... they are pretty darn adorable!
Then we headed over to my cousin Val's house and had dinner with Val, Kevin, Lauren, Benny, Ryan & Hadley. Later Aunt Cindy and Megan joined in on the fun.
After dinner all of the kiddos hopped in the tub together.
They are so darn cute!
Saturday
We headed down town.
Got some warm drinks from the very first Starbucks.
It was a nice treat, because it was pretty cold and windy.
Then we headed to Pike Place Market.
Back to Val and Kevin's neighborhood to play at the park.
Then back to the house for some dinner.
We were even lucky enough to have Morgan (Doug and Val's friend from High School) come by with his adorable daughters.
And Emma got her very 1st Barbie from Lauren and Benny.
Sunday
The gang came back over and we had a wonderful breakfast.
Uncle Mike came straight over from the airport.
He was out of town all weekend, but we were lucky enough to get to visit with him for a couple hours.
Then we were off back to San Diego.
Emma was drinking Benny's favorite "Choc Choc" (choc. milk), well guess what Benny? Emma LOVES it now too!
We had such a great time getting to see all of dada and mama's family.
Thank you to everyone who was able to hang out with us.
A special thank you to Grandpa Bob & Grandma Cherie and the Kok family for letting us stay the night at your places.
