Space Needle and Chihuly

For the last Sha-bang of Spring Break we headed to the top of the Space Needle.

Great views, it was a little windy but worth doing. We went to the Chihuly Blown

Galss exhibit....It was AWESOME. I would probably leave Finley home next time :)

Grandma Gaye was up for the fun too!
Elevator ride

Sydney was my chihuly model...

We talked Grandma Gayebird into taking the tour
with style...wheelchair style!

Over the break Emmy learned how to ride her bike SWEET!!

So proud of her. My favorite is that she rounded up some elbow and knee

pads for the occasion.

And this little sweetie is into her siblings shoes still...

Mt. Rainer

Mt. Rainer

The saying goes, "The Mount is Out!"

If it is a clear day in Washington then you can see the glorious

Mt. Rainer. 

It has been another thing to do on our Washington bucket list.

I am kind of sad that we waited until a couple of weeks before we are leaving to do this.

The road with all of the great hikes was closed for winter still. So next time we will

hit this over the Summer months. It was a really pretty day and it made me excited to come

back and to see it again.

We did find this one little hike, called, The Hall of Patriarchs. 

It was pretty awesome. 

 Bella's first time in the snow.  She couldn't decide between

licking it or rolling around in it. 

  Trent and I recently celebrated 14 years of marriage!

Wow, it has been fourteen years of adventure and I love that

Trent keeps it exciting. The best choice I have ever made.

Poo Poo Point

I think the trail name 

is kind of disgusting.

But rest assured, their's no poo poo

on this point. 

Im not really sure how it got that name? One of my favorite hikes and on a clear

day has a fabulous view of Issaquah, Bellevue and even Seattle.

Brock and Aimee Smart joined us.

 I love hiking with Cassie because she has a real love for

nature and will let me set the pace. We have lots of good

talks and laughs. I am so grateful that she is my older sister.

She is AMAZING. Charley is full of humor so he will 

be invited with me anytime.

And  of course soccer never ends...even over Spring Break!~ 

We spend hours in the car, luckily I found

someones Easter candy for Finley to munch on.

Tour of Washington~Spring Break 2015

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Out of all the things to do in Washington this has to be in my top five

of all time! AMAZING.

Seriously, I still can't get over the beauty of the Skagit Valley Tulips!

I could have stayed there all day, and we pretty much did.

Mom,Cassie and Charley came up for Spring Break because they love Washington as

much as we do.

Glad we got to share the beauty of the NorthWest together!

So here are a million and one pictures of the tulips.

Whenever I am sad I am going to skim through these pics...they make me so 

unbelievably happy!

In this 8.5 acre field above, there is over a million bulbs!
