First Day of School - 5th grade

I'm a little sad and happy today.  It's your first day of fifth grade!  Your last year in elementary school.  What?? Yup.  I can't believe it.   You were slightly nervous about taking the bus b/c you didn't like the bus ride from camp.  Good news is we are the first stop :)


Mama was not good at the "5" had to re-do

Check out that bus stop!!


"I'm so bougy" says Ben  LOL

Homecoming PJ day

Labor Day Weekend - Seattle!

For Labor Day weekend, we decided to spend a few days in Seattle.  Most of the kids have gone back to school which is good as there are much less travelers.  It turned out to be a great idea - the weather was awesome, very little crowds and we got to see a ton!

Mama still loves to match you guys

Yes, Bradley, Mama loves DTF too

Good thing they didn't have XLB stuffies 

Your favorite - sauteed kale and shrimp friend rice
Your brother was the XLB

BOBA

Someone is excited!! :)


Pike Place



Day 1 - cruise to check out the sound

And some Starbucks brownie and cookie
Someone has a sweet tooth like baba

Waters are cold and deep - might be a tougher swim



Yup, pretty much had the boat to ourselves


Pretty easy to social distance



Favorite store - Pirate's Plunder


Not so excited on the Big Wheel

Got over it real quick!



Ready to go up?



A little nervous



I'm not scared

You were over your fear of heights midway through. Even danced on the glass floor










Neo the space needle






We love Chihuly!

Dim sum breakfast at Mee Sum 

Aquarium - huge touch area



That's a big boat!






Boba place with a ton of Corgi stuff

Rain drop cake - meh





We had a ton of fun this weekend.  DTF was visited twice.  Miner's Landing also had a repeat visit.  Days were busy and filled with visits to the zoo, aquarium, museums, space needle, boat rides and a park to meet up with one of mama's old friends! Love you Beni!! :)
