Family Time

Here's a few pictures from our trip to Washington. We went to see Jeff's sister and her family before they move to Alaska. The best word to describe our time there would be RELAXATION.
It has been a year since the two girls saw each other. It was fun to see them interact with each other now that they're older. Lilley is only six months older than Sofía but she seems a lot older. The whole time we were there she called Sofía "baby". She's such a cutie and it was fun to get to know her better. We can't wait until we can see them again.
This is why we wanted to come visit Heidi and Seth. It gave the two cousins some time to play together.
Sofía immediately connected with Heidi. As soon as we arrived Sofía reached her arms out for her. I guess she knows who her aunt is.
This was the first time Seth met Sofía. It didn't take long for her to warm up to him. Too bad she couldn't go hunting with him. Maybe next time.
Mealtime was particularly fun. Each one wanted to sit in the others' chair. They tried to take each other's food. It gave us an idea of what it might be like with two children.

A trip to Washington isn't complete without a trip to Seattle. We love the vibe of the city. Sofía couldn't stop looking at all of the people. It rained, of course, but it was still a lot of fun.

We took a lot of breaks during our drive. This is at one of the rest stops in Washington. You can see the look of relief on Sofía's face. She did such a wonderful job during the drive. She definitely exceeded our expectations.
