Seattle trip - 9 Last day

We Did couple things before we left, we took the kids to the mall And that enjoy playing in the playing área...

Then they took a ride since both of them like cars and driving...

Exploring what to do with that crazy string...

This was great! Kids loved it

Went to the school playground and kids had fun playing with grandpa

It was an adventure to wake up that early on a sunday ( because it was the only flight that will make us be home soon, by 9am) so woke up around 3am to leave around 330am to go to the airport, we were concerned about Joel and Diana but they did great at the airport and at the flights, they took a nap that made the trip easier going back home. The only thing was that Joel didn't want to take a nap after we got home while we all did want.

It was definitely worth it a lot for us and specially for the kids that were able to their favorite grandparents, aunt Miriam and uncle Steve :) we miss you all.

Till we meet again, love you'

Seattle trip - 8 Long but beautiful day

The Friday before we left we did lots of things which kept us busy and making us enjoy our time in Seattle .

We took the kids to the Seattle Temple, to talk a walk and for them to see the temple in person besides the pictures thy have seen.

Joel let us take more picture of him, on the other hand Diana does whatever trick to avoid them, and here she is anyway.

Remembering old times, it seems it was yesterday when we were taking pictures there before our wedding reception.

Kids enjoy the temple grounds

Not perfect but the closest to a family picture we could take...

Loving the flowers

Love to see the Temple

Our next stop was Snoqualmie Falls. It was a little difficult for the kids to appreciate the scenery, but we really enjoyed going back there and seen the huge waterfall.

That evening we went to visit a friend of mine from my hometown and had dinner with them, the kids had a great time playing with their kids.

My friend Gina made a birthday cake to celebrate Thomas and Joel's birthday, we sang happy birthday and part of the tradition is to give the cake a bite, Joel loved it for being his first time doing it.

It was great to see each other after some years when we lost contact and now because of fb we are again.

Seattle trip - 7 Portland Temple

We had the opportunity to go to the Portland temple which is beautiful (because the Seattle temple was closed for maintenance), we had an uplifting experience, we needed.

Thank you to grandma Culwell and aunt Miriam for helping us make this possible, in taking care Joel and Diana.

Seattle trip - 6 Making memories

Joel and Diana had a great time creating on the sidewalk and exploring the backyard.

Joel's favorite part was going on a boys night out - camping in the backyard- he was super mega excited...he enjoyed to spend golden time with daddy and grandpa, plus he slept through the night pretty good.

While this happened, Diana was spending some golden time with grandma and aunt Miriam.
