our trip to washington

Well, we left for our trip to Bremerton, Washington on the 28th of june, and we drove for about 36 hours in two days. It was a long trip, but it went by quickly. It was absolutely beautiful up there, i hadn't been back there since before i got married, about 6 years ago! The weather was perfect, in the 70s about every day, and we got to spend a lot of time outside. Jayne had a hard time sticking to her potty training while we were there, but now that we're home, she seems to be doing well again. i don't know how that works, but i hope she keeps it up! It's definately good to be back, though. We took 3 days to get home this time, and the girls really enjoyed getting to stay in 2 motels on the way back! Lucy and Jayne did so well while we were traveling, they only really bickered a few times, and were in good moods. Now that our trip is over, the next thing we have to look forward to is the sonogram next week. i hope we can tell if the baby is a boy or a girl!

We went to the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Washington, and there was a kids section where there were slides, and the kids could feed goats. They had a really awesome aquarium, and Lucy loved the beluga whales (but i didn't get any pics of the whales).

The reason for our trip to Bremerton, was to celebrate my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. For the occasion, me and my sister-in-law (with the help or my sister and my mom, and our friend, tana) made a cake for them with yellow roses on it (my grandma's favorite). It turned out very nice, if i do say so myself!

While we were in washington, we got together with some other family from washington, and some from idaho, and colorado, and spent the day at Long Lake in Port Orchard. The girls loved playing in the sand, and swimming in the lake.

We all had such a good time hanging out and spending time with family and friends in the beautiful weather! See how happy i am?
