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.

Our time here started off kid free for a night! Jason and visited Snoqualmie Falls

And a brewery!

Pool fun with cousins

American Girl doll dreamland!

Gaming time

Re-fueling

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

We opted to go to Crystal Mountain ski resort

To ride the terrifying gondola

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

So high!

A cloudy view of Mount Rainier

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

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

He loved tearing around the yard!

Rick teaching Jackson the basics

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

Pedi time

Toe jobs!

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

He had the best day!

Down on the bigger track with Rick watching Jack

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!

We visited the riverfront park in Spokane

Huge wagon slide!

It was a very hot afternoon

So shaved ice was a must!

Feeding the garbage goat their leftovers

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

Getting spun up

And scrambled!

There was a really nice water park too

Water gun fight

Slipping and sliding!
