Our unforgettable trip home from WA

On our way home we had planned to stop at the Rose Family reunion at Camp Kiwanis in Walla Walla, Washington.  On the way I started feeling sick and kept getting sicker and sicker the closer we got.  I figured it had to be car sickness or maybe sick from all the junk food I was eating.  As we pulled up I couldn't even get out of the car because I knew I'd throw up right away.  I felt bad leaving Jared with the kids and the job of getting our campsite ready for the night.  I was also sad I couldn't go and say hi to everyone.  Finally I made it to the restroom and it all came out.  I thought that was it.  It ended up that I had the flu which Jared ended up also getting but he only threw up once. (funny story)  Emmett ended up puking all night so we just stayed in the building and visited with Jared's cousin and let Eli sleep peacefully in the tent.  The next morning we were exhausted but happy to have the worst behind us.  Emmett threw up once more that morning and Eli stayed healthy.  Since we didn't want to get Great Grandma Rose sick this is the best picture I got of them with her.




Here is where Emmett's name came from.  Wish he was standing by it in this picture but oh well.


We were sooooo happy to be at our hotel in Boise.  After eating at Red Robin we showered and relaxed!  The boys easily fell asleep and we had a wonderful last night of vacation.

4th of July 2012 & more

The boys waiting for it to get dark so the fireworks show can begin.  I tried to get them to all sit but it was impossible.


Then Wyatt was pulling goofy faces for me.


My Captain Americas showing their muscles.



We ate Yummy carmel popcorn during the noisy fireworks.


Emmett was playing with London's hair while she was playing games on the phone and she said "thank you for not pulling on my hair too hard."  It was so cute.



Jared taking these two on the scooter.



These two disappeared for a bit and I found them just like this.  Hilarious!
Other than a firework nearly hitting me in the head, it was a great 4th!

MORE WASHINGTON

Ferry Ride.  It was a bit chilly but so much fun.




Emmett found a little friend and they would run from one side of the ferry to other over and over.  He loved it!



Enjoyed a lot of outdoor time in the nice weather.




Surviving another kayak ride.  Too bad the lifejacket isn't more comfy.

He loved going out on the boat.  Such a cutie.

Part 3! Mariner's game & Ivar's

We were so excited to take Emmett to a Mariner's game.  We ate sweet potato fries & hot dogs. Yum!



Watching the boat race on the jumbo-tron.


Emmett's new baseball.  The Mariner's won!


They have the best little playground that he LOVED!

Attempt at a family pic in our p.j.'s and bed heads.  Emmett was napping :(

Ivar's fish and chips!  Best way to start the day in Seattle.





Jared was a bit more hesitant this time.
Emmett hid away to poop while we were eating so he didn't get to enjoy it as much as he would have.

Washington Part 2

More fun times on the boat!


We visit Owen beach every time we are in WA.  It's a fun pretty place where we can get close to the water.




We had a timed canoe race between all the couples.  I believe we took 3rd place.

Emmett doing what he does best.... getting dirty!



Took the kids to the zoo one day and of course Eli had a blowout on the way so luckily we had one of Emmett's sweaters for him to wear.

Fun day at the zoo but we had to leave to make it to the baseball game.
