Our next adventure takes us to Seattle to meet Aunty Krista, Uncle Nils, and cousins Alden (6), Soren (3 1/2), and August (3 1/2). Dad went to Norway for work so we headed westward. We are soooo lucky too because Grandma G met us there . . . we had a BLAST! We did many exciting things- took walks around Green Lake, made pizzas, picnicked at Carkeek Park, Fish'n Chipped at the Lake, put together homemade paper kites, and so much more. . .
My big cousin Alden is the best. . . she and I have a special bond, she really took care of me.

She held me, hugged me, kissed me. . .

She rocked me, sang to me, and loved me. And I love her.

My Aunty Krista was so much FUN! She knew just what I liked :) I feel so good around her.

Here she is helping the cousins make their very own pizzas. . .

Soren preferred his goodies to be all piled up in the center.

There is so much fun and excitement around me. . . so many things I like to play with. . .

I must say though, one of my favorite things was. . .

Yep, Uncle Nils' Underwear!

(and yes, they are fresh out of the laundry people)

And I really love the awesome raspberries that Aunty Krista gives to me on my belly!

Laugh, Laugh, Laugh!

Here Soren and Alden are flying their homemade paper kites! Go Guys Go!

Check out my tu-tu outfit!

We were off to Carkeek Park for a picnic-
What a cool stump to climb and fly the paper kites off of!

August says, " I am a Piwate and this is my sowd!" (his "r's" aren't quite there yet)


And what a yummy picnic it was with "ants on a log". . .

Oysters on crackers. . .more please grandma g.

and peanuts. . .what fun those were to crack open!

And then we played and played. . .



and had a Tu-tu Party!

(comeplete with peanuts nestled in the tutu's, can you spot them?)

My cousins were so much fun to be with . . . they are GREAT pushers!

This was our Fish'n Chips Picnic that we had at Green Lake. . .Yummo!
