The Emerald City

We recently took a quick, last minute family trip to Seattle, and it was a hit for us all. We all got much desired time family and friends, just not everybody we wish we could have connected with. But we will be back around the NW again soon for a family wedding. Here are some highlighs of the trip...



Above, Uncle Si the baby whisperer and Will's new best friend with Kira and his older cousin Lucas...good team!

Will's Cousin Lucas striking a pose on the Kirkland waterfront

"High in the sky" was a theme for the trip in many ways


Will is yet to show any fear of water, head first, away we go

Mmmmm...sweet Grandma Meg!


The gargoyle in the garden...thanks for showing me scary things grandma Meg, I loved it!!!



Good looking pair that Dad is proud to be with!!!




These two partners in crime were show stoppers at the beach...pretty adorable duo!


Future Seattle beach combers and Utah skiers, W & O!!!






Can't wait until we can hit the golf course with this group!!!

Good Family time...loved every minute of it








If you haven't noticed, Will is standing in essentially every photo, and soon you will be seeing back braces on Mom and Dad

The pursuit...thank you pigeon for all the entertainment, allowing the adults to just sit back and watch for a minute

Cheers to the Stevens crew...thanks for helping make this trip great!




Did someone tell these two they were cute yet?


Mom, don't get this kid used to too much adrenaline!


Ahhhh...a day at the beach

Every kid has gotta have one right?


Will hangin' out with role models Drue and Lucas at Grandma Megs place

I wonder if they planned to have kids all at the same time?


Mr Oliver showing will how to use those legs!


Great Grandma Jane and Great Grandpa John hosted a brunch gathering...great to see everyone having so much fun with our little Will

I am sure Great Grandpa John slept well that night with all the running around he did with Will.


Good buddies

When we got home, Will stood at the door waiting for all his Seattle friends to show up...his bags are packed for the next trip right around the corner!
