Snoqualmie Falls

nICH and I rode the Harley down to Snoqualmie Falls, it was a beautiful ride and an awesome waterfall! I got the idea to go down to the falls after looking at jERRA's blog!! It was a wonderful day!

We hiked down to get closer to the falls! It was fun going down...not so much coming back up in long pants, jackets and our boots...it was HOT! But it was totally worth it!

It would have been more fun to get in one of these tubes and slide down!!

a dAY aT tHE zOO!

We went to the Woodland Park zoo with Nana & Papa and Ellie & Avery.

It was so much fun!

The girls thought the gorilla looked funny sleeping like that

"Hey...is that Uncle nICH sleeping?"

cute little Penguins!

Brown Bears (my favorite)

One of the bears got in the water to cool off. It was crazy that only a sheet a glass was between us and a big bear. Kinda scary but really cool!

Uncle nICH and PaPa sat at a bench in the shade...while the rest of us enjoyed some Seattle sun!

The girls really wanted to feed the birds and Uncle nICH was getting attacked by the birds!

nICH wanted to take this little guy home with us!

gARAGE sALE

I love garage sales!

We helped nICH's parents out with the garage sale while they were out of town. Some of our friends came shopping and hung out with us! It was fun!

everything had a perfect place!

Ever wondered where Santa gets all those presents for good little boys and girls

He goes to garage sales!

nICH counting the hard earned money...also making sure all the bills face the same way!

cHRIS was so happy to get a transformer (let us know how long it takes to put it back together)!

wE mADE iT!

We made it to Utah!! Finally after a long, long drive and a night pit stop at the Meppen's, we made it to our final destination. On Monday morning we drove the Penske truck to our storage unit and the fun began unpacking the 26 ft...YUP 26 feet...of stuff!! My sister and brother-in law came to help us unpack...and the boys were there to help too they were so eager to carry some boxes into the storage unit, they would pick a box and ask if they could carry it...I picked up the box and said "I think this box might be a little heavy for you" of course they are tough boys and said "no I don't think it is...I can carry it"...I would hand them the box and then the turth came out "ya your right it is too heavy...I can't carry it!" It was pretty darn funny!

mAX was so excited to go for a ride in the big truck with the "boy" nICH

After we were done unpacking the truck, all I wanted to do was go home and take a nap... that wasn't so much the same thought for nICH!

He decided to mow my sisters lawn! He says it is theraputic for him! But the funny thing was it started to rain...like pouring down rain and we kept trying to get nICH to stop and come inside! He couldn't finish until the job was done! He was soaked to the bone when he was finally done!

What a nice guy, huh?!!
