What a trip!!

Dax and I took our annual trip to Seattle this past weekend to visit Jamie and her cute little family. I love them all and I love Washington! We always have the best time when we get together and I am so blessed to have the best twin ever!!

Last time Dax and I took the trip it was August and the weather was beautiful. I wasn't sure what we were in for this time around, but boy did we luck out! We had gorgeous weather and I have never seen so many beautiful trees and fall leaves! I think I need to plan each trip for a different time of year, because so far I have yet to experience the rain and I love visiting the Pacific North West---everyone kept using that term so I thought I'd throw it in to sound hip!

Dax was great on the flight and was so happy to see Gwen and Gabriella! They all were so cute with each other. I think Dax has come back with a little obsession with princesses and pink, and Gabs may have a tiny love for hot wheels now and Little Critter books! I know Dax is especially sad to not have two moms anymore...he was in heaven with Jamie! I love spending time with Jamie! She is such a great mom and has a beautiful home and she cooked for me every meal!! How could I go wrong??

We visited some really fun pumpkin patches while we were there. It was nice to be in warm clothes and feel like it was actually Fall and Halloween time. At the pumpkin patches were little petting farms where we petted baby cows, baby goats, kittens, bunnies and little ducks--which we opted out of petting. We went on a hay ride and there was a huge tracker and hay barrels that Dax climbed all over and the largest pumpkin patches I had ever seen.

We also visited this great place in Seattle called the Museum of Flight where the kids got to play in huge airplanes and helicopters and feel like real little pilots. Dax couldn't stop running from plane to plane! I loved it there and wish we could have spent more time exploring the aviation world, but once we got the kids into the gift shop there was no going back!

We had such a great trip! Whenever I see Jamie I realize how much I truly miss her. At least I know there is only a little over a month until she comes down to Arizona, except this time I have to share her with the rest of the family! Thanks James for everything!
