Visitors and one bathroom

For two weekends in a row in October we were lucky to have visitors in town! The first weekend we had one of my companions and friends from my mission, Adrienne and Dora (or better known as Richards and Espinoza.) We started out the night with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory were we were overloaded with chocolate! The next day we spent our time exploring Seattle. It was meant to be a girls day out but Matt had an unfortunate bout of a stomach bug so Ethan got to come along. He insisted upon standing on the stroller the entire time.
We went out to Seattle Center and visited the Music Museum. Then we took the Monorail down to Pike Place Market. We were very entertained by the street performers particularly the older lady dancing away to a man beating a bucket which sounded surprisingly similar to a drum. It was a perfect day and the sun was even around all weekend. On Monday we got to do the Seattle Duck tour. If you have never done one of these they are very cool. You are in a WWII military vehicle that can go on land and water. We drove right into Lake Union in Seattle. Cole and Ethan both fell asleep on the trip apparently they weren't as amused as we were..
The next weekend my brother came into town. We went out to Snoqualmie Falls which is a beautiful waterfall.
Then We hit Seattle again where we did the same route but this time Cole and Ethan got to come. We had a great time in Pike Place Market and Byron even bought a fish! Here they are throwing it!My brother Byron and his wife Monique on one of the famous pigs in Seattle.
We love visitors and if you don't mind sleeping in bunk beds and sharing one bathroom you are invited to come!
