I took the train from the airport into Scott's work. As my train pulled up I saw this cute little scene....SO CUTE!
As we walked from the train into Scott's work it was evident that the kids were happy to see me. Note how I'm dragging my luggage still, but Andrew is trying to hold my hand at the same time.
We dropped my stuff off at Scott's office and went across the street to eat a hot dog and then walked through the waterfalls. Andrew didn't like it too much....
Needless to say we were a bit soaked after that. Luckily I had a change of clothes in my suitcase. Not so lucky for Scott though....
We then headed over to a famous view point to view the city. I had been here before, but not at night. We were able to get some great shots!
The next morning we took a hike to Twin Falls. It was a pretty decent hike (3 miles round trip) for little Ashley, but she made it. Here are some pictures from the hike (sorry there are a lot!)
Note the fear on Ashley's face....a dog was coming. We saw this look along with a scream many, many times on the trail. By the end though we at least had her saying "hello" to the dogs as they passed...
Andrew's just enjoying his lunch here.....
Andrew following Ashley's lead....
Ashley throwing rocks (while looking like a ballerina).....
And my all time favorite picture of both kids (not necessarily me and my unshowered look....)
After the hike Ashley, Amber and I went for a run, showered, ate dinner and then headed into Seattle. Our plan was to go to Pike's Place, but it closed earlier than we thought. We did get to sit on a big piggy bank though.....
We then decided to go and see the famous troll under the bridge. Amber asked the brilliant question of "why would they put a troll under a bridge?" Apparently she is not up-to-date on her nursery rhymes. It was a kind of creepy troll....
After seeing the troll we decided we were hungry again and tried to find Dick's drive-inn for some quick hamburgers. Let's just say the GPS is not always accurate. We eventually found it and stood in line with the rest of the Washington Huskies fans cause the game had just got out. We were the only people with kids. I thought about mentioning BYU and how awesome it was to beat the Huskies the previous week, but I decided I had better not!!After a long day we were tired......
On Sunday we went to church and then for Scott's birthday he made me an excellent dinner of BBQ chicken and yummy potatoes. In the meantime Amber & I helped to make the kids gifts for Scott's birthday to Scott and then they took me to the airport.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend! Amber & Scott live in a gorgeous place and I can't wait to go back. As Ashley said "You sure didn't stay long!"
