My Family Belongs In A Zoo

What is it that makes sneaking pictures of sleeping people so satisfying?

Well friends, in the last year i've traveled home to Seattle six times I think... and four of those trips were made by car. Can you say yikes? Well, this last weekend I made the trip on wheels yet again. But this time, my cute boy came with me!! We were supposed to leave on Friday mid-morning, but Matt surprised me last minute on Thursday afternoon by telling me that he got work off on Friday and we could leave that evening, so we did! We drove all through Thursday night and made it home early enough of Friday to join everyone else for a fun family trip to the zoo!


Mmmm, nice fresh salmon anyone?

Little Quinny was more interested in her nap than in some of the animals. Valid, I suppose, for a baby.


What the animals see... yes monkey, you're right, it IS a zoo out there.





Paige trying hard to communicate with a goat haha.

Little miss blue eyes! Can never get enough of her!!

We decided (slash it just sort of happened) to recreate some old favorites from trips to the zoo!
I love my Rae Rae always and forever ♥ Think she'll let me hold her like this when she's a teenager?


With our WHOLE family reunited (meaning mom and dad, their four children, their three children-in-law, and all eight of their grandchildren) for the first time in seriously forever, mom and dad's house was a zoo enough with everyone squeezing under one roof and planning activities for so many people! But the weekend was a fantastic one. Along with our trip to the zoo, we packed in family pictures, playing at the park, playing LOTS of card/board games, movie watching, running on the Burke-Gilman, church, and a Seattle trip all in just a few days. 

In other words, stay tuned for more picture-filled posts about how happy my family makes me and how fun it was to show Matty around our beautiful city :)
