This past weekend we went to Seattle. What a beautiful place. I have decided, who needs to live in Salt Lake when you could live somewhere like Seattle. I have also told Josh that his next assignment needs to be over there somewhere. AMAZING!!!
On our way over we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls. It was somewhere Josh had always wanted to see but never managed to get over there. We didn't know at first but the river was flooding. Normally the falls aren't so big. There was so much mist in the air it was raining without really raining. We saw the falls from the top and then decided to hike to the bottom. It's only 1/2 mile down, no big deal right? Once we were part way down, with a 2 year old mind you, Josh reminded me that we have to hike up everything we are walking down. But I was determined. The walk down was gorgeous, and the walk up, well needless to say it too, much longer coming up than it did going down. Oh well, we made it!!
The next day we went to Peace Arch Park, there is a big arch that once you go under it you are technically in Canada. Keegan ran straight through the arch and fell down in the mud. So he had Canadian mud on him the rest of the day.
On the way back we went a different route and went over Deception Pass. So pretty. You go over a HUGE bridge that connects 2 different islands.
The boys looking out over Decption Pass. It was really windy but worth getting out of the car.
Keegan and Josh walking through Pike's Place Market. Keegan had to take his RSL (Real Salt Lake) backpack everywhere. And since we forgot the stroller he walked a lot this weekend. And if any of you know my kid. He would much rather be carried.
What a great weekend, before we had even left Seattle we were already talking about our next trip over there. Can't wait.

Seattle was fun. Although I have only been there once I really enjoyed it. The Falls were fun, but we didn't hike down. Did you go to the zoo? It's all open area not big cages. It is big. Pikes Market is fun to walk through as well. There is also a great aqaurium and the Space Needle.
Yeah, it's beautiful over there! But, quite rainy. :) I guess that's why everything is so green - and what a pretty city! Glad you had a good time. Isn't Pikes Place awesome??
keegan is such a cheeseball. guess you couldn't convince josh to make a stop in forks!?
