Our Last Summer Weekend Getaway

We had one last weekend before school started and decided we really needed to get away. We thought about going to Silverwood or the Oregon coast. But after our friend was in an ATV accident that put him in Harborview Hospital in Seattle we decided to head over there to visit him, see my sister and her family and have a little fun. We spent the first afternoon visiting Rebecca and having her babysit my girls. Then Collin, Cameron and I along with Brendan Bybee (Caden's younger brother) headed over to the hospital to visit Caden and his parents. Caden seriously broke his arm and lost muscle and had to have skin grafts due to his accident earlier in the week.. Collin and Brendan bought him toys at John Deere to play with at the hospital. Sadly I forgot all about taking pictures there (and we visited him twice).

That night Rebecca's family met us at the hotel and we swam in the fun (yet slightly gross) pool. Then the next morning they met us again at the Fun Center next door to the hotel for a few hours of expensive fun!

Little cars for the little girls

Slightly faster cars for the bigger kids

Some time was spent in the kidopolis play area

Chelsea helping out Taylor

Rebecca got to play too!

Collin tried to ride a Harley like his Dad. (We did make a pit stop at the Harley in Renton)

Morgan, Chelsea, Logan and I tried out the trampolines (Collin did too but no pictures). Can you see I'm doing a back flip in the back? I was sore the next day!

Morgan doing one of her many flips!

Next stop was lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.

Then just our family headed over to the Museum of Flight.

Cameron,Chelsea, Collin andMorgan all took a turn in the flight simulator.

Next, we got to check out a former "Air Force One" and pretend that we were the first family!

After a late night dinner at Cheesecake Factory and another hotel. We swam and had a great buffet breakfast before heading back to downtown Seattle. We did the Argosy Harbor cruise and had a fun little tour around the harbor learning about all the points of interest.

It was a nice end to our mini vacation.
