Our trip to Seattle started with a plane ride. Just me and the three boys. It actually went better than I thought it would. Thank goodness for a portable DVD player, Nintendo DS and fruit snacks. The flight home was a little rough due to some delays, almost missing our connection, and a crowded plane, but we made it!
We were in the front row of the 3rd level. I kept thinking the kids were going to fall head first over the rail. They were good seats though and the kids had fun cheering for our team and eating peanuts and cotton candy.
Dad and I did the Rock n Roll Seattle half marathon again this year. Here we are waiting to get started. It was a pretty chilly morning, but coming from Texas and running in the hot humidity to running in the cooler weather was okay with me. I really think it makes all the difference when you aren't sweating before you even get started.
It was a long 13.1 miles but Dad did the whole thing with me at my pace (he is faster) which I think helped to push me. I did 20 minutes better than last year so I was pretty happy.
I am so glad we got to go and visit with my Grandparents. They are so cute and I wish we could see them more often.
We played in the backyard and dug in Grandpa's dirt. Dylan has some kind of dirt radar and could spend hours just moving it around.
We went down to the Puget Sound. We learned about the tide. When we got there it was out and by the time we left it had come all the way in. Tyler thought this was interesting, along with how good Grandpa can skip rocks!
We went to Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. Tyler and Dylan road a camel. Dylan said it was wobbly.

Kyle really liked the aquarium. I think he would have stayed there all day. He kept saying "fish! fish!" going from window to window.
We had a fun time at Grandma and Grandpa's house but where happy to come home and see Dad!
