Family Visit

I've obviously been posting pictures this week of our visit with my brother, Ben, his wife, Emily, and their 7 month old, Ellie. We had alot of fun, mostly good weather, and kept busy!
Jaden warmed right up to them and Jackson was insanely shy for the first hour. Then he fell in love with them and was wanting them to read them book, swing, and all kinds of things.
Friday we went to the mall and met Jared for lunch and did some shopping (yucky weather) and briefly went to the beach after dinner.
Saturday we went on a new walk we found with beautiful lookouts that take you to the water where we saw tons of starfish and ate our lunch. Church that night then Mexican for dinner.
Sunday we spent the whole day in Seattle. Beautiful weather. Pikes place market which was PACKED right when it opened and CRAZY but good for the experience. Saw the original Starbucks which looked like a hole in the wall coffee shop :) We walked to Ivars to eat and feed the seagulls then took a ferry ride for about an hour. Jackson skinned his knee BAD and was SCREAMING but was also brave and we got it cleaned up. Glad I brought supplies. Then we walked to Westlake Center (I think) and took the monorail to Seattle Center where the boys rode some rides. Then we went up the space needle. Jared and Kylie stayed down with all the strollers since he's been a bunch. The boys were free so the rest of us went up. It was really crowded. Jackson skinned the SAME knee AGAIN! :( Bad news. Then we drove to Claim Jumper for dinner in Lynnwood and got home LATE.
Monday we had lunch down on the beach and then came again that night for hamburgers and a campfire.
Today was a little more low key but we did attempt to get some photos. Kylie had carrots on her face and I didn't realize :) The boys really wanted to hold the girls but those pictures didn't turn out so well. In trying to take pictures of the 2 girls Ellie was getting tired so the pictures aren't great but she was a good sport :)
