Staying busy

The last couple weeks of summer have been a little nuts. Aside from soccer, VBS, playdates, etc., it seems like we've spent the majority of our time driving back and forth over the mountains. We've been visiting friends, family, shopping, you name it.

poor little dude conked out while playing peek-a-boo on the drive over

first stop, happy hour with the ladies (& kids & hubbys)

Next, spending the weekend with Grammie & Pa's and checking out a concert in the park

Dad & Pa's handy work

the little dude then fell asleep reading a book on the way back down to Seattle

before heading home for the weekend, one last stop at Amanda & LT's for a BBQ  (I stole your pic Amanda)

A couple days later the boys and I were back on the road heading over the mountains to drop the car off at the dealership. The boys thought the minivan they gave us while our car was having some work done was just about the coolest thing ever. Me, that's a different story...

while in the city we were able to sneak in a playdate with the O'Connors

Another couple of days later we were back in Seattle to pick up our car (and return the mini, hooray) and this time we hit up the Ballard Locks with the Henry's.

And now we are home to stay, thank heavens.... At least for a couple weeks.
