In May Tante Liz came to visit us again! We always love having her here and love that she always stays so long!! However, this year her trip was cut in half. Normally she comes out for a good 3 weeks or close to a month but this year she was here for about 10 days. Man did those 10 days fly by!! Regardless we had so much fun with her. I would say about half the time we took it easy and relaxed at home and half the time we were out and about showing her the area.
Her arriving flight came in late so the kids were all sleeping by the time she got here. They were super excited the next morning to wake up and find her in the guest room!!
We took several trips into Seattle. When Liz is here are girls become about 10 times more interested in taking pictures with the camera then normal! So as we were driving in, and while in the city, they were snapping photos left and right. I have some very interesting pictures and maybe one day I will post some of them. Some did not turn out, some did but they are of items like shoes, and some turned out good that they actually took of people. A couple of those are included in this post such as this one below!
The famous (at least to us) pig in the market area! Every trip the girls think they need to sit on it or at least touch it!!
The gum wall.
Eva and Tante Liz both had shirts with an animal wearing glasses!
Braids.....Grace will allow Tante Liz to put her hair up in ways that she never allows myself. If I'm luck she might let me put a pony tail in it but never braids. Which might be best cause I don't know if I could do the braids like this.
There was also a few days that we went for a drive in the mountains. One of the trips we took some random side road and we stopped often for Liz to take pictures. On this stop Mark even got out of the car to take pictures however, he did not climb down from the road to take pictures! The pictures that Liz took while on this drive and just in general on this trip turned out amazing! I always love her pictures and I believe she is truly an amazing photographer!!
Speaking of an amazing photographer, while she was here she also took more family photos of us! Once we get those I will post a few of them but not all as she did a wonderful job of taking several great photos of the kids!!
We miss you Tante Liz and wish you could come back soon or better yet just come move to the west!! ;) Hehe
