Our awesome summer vacation began on Sunday the 17th and we came home on Saturday the 23rd. On Sunday, we had church from 1-4, came home, ate a quick dinner, and started loading up. We drove as far as Lynnwood and spent the night with our awesome friends, the Mc Cs. (Side note: Jen and I met at BYU as elementary ed majors. After our jr year, she left on a mission, I stayed and finished school. Fast forward 5 years and we ran into each other here in Seattle! She hasn't been able to shake me since. She is one of my favorite people and I'm so blessed to have her in my life - twice!)
Yes, it was a little odd to only drive for an hour and stop, but we had to be across the Canadian border and at the ferry terminal in Tsawassen at 9:40 am on Monday morning. That would have meant getting up at 4:30 to factor in Monday morning traffic in Seattle/Bellevue. We saved a few hours of sleep this way and only had to get up at 6:30 in Lynnwood.
Here are most of the kids (2 yr old J was already in bed) "listening" to scriptures before bed. H is 10 mo younger than M and big J is just a few (5?) weeks older than E (but she was supposed to come first!) It was really fun to have all the kids together, even if it was just for a few hours! Thanks for the accomodations, friends!

Where's pics of your friend??
Her kids are darling- and apparently really spiritual after listening to the scriptures from the crib!
Ha! Who ever takes pictures of grown ups anymore! ;) We are meeting them at the zoo on Friday...I'll try to remember to get the mommies in a shot, too. We'll probably wind up with at least 5, 'cause you know each kid will need a turn...
