We finally made it to the Seattle area! The kids have been waiting to see cousins Jack and Abby since we last saw them in Boston last October.

So shaved ice was a must!

While the boys ride bikes - Abby taught Grace to jump rope - she was so sweet and patient with Grace all week!

The next day we visited Silverwood amusement park near Couer D’Alene, ID. Great coasters!

Pedi time

There was a really nice water park too

And scrambled!

We got to visit with Dean, Brenda and Libby during our visit

Dirt biking time - the day Jackson has been waiting for!!

American Girl doll dreamland!

The boys went to a track one morning to ride on larger tracks

Feeding the garbage goat their leftovers

Gaming time

Slipping and sliding!

Pool fun with cousins

After our visit to the Seattle area - we headed west towards Spokane. We had a lunch along the way and found a weigh station - this is how much we weigh with all of us in the truck and pulling the RV!

Water gun fight

I’m faking my smile - I’m actually freaking out!

Toe jobs!

We did pull the kids away from the Smith house one day to explore - we found the gateway to Mount Rainier NP but didn’t go explore

Rick teaching Jackson the basics

We visited the riverfront park in Spokane

He had the best day!
