In the lobby of the hotel.
Having a little snack outside the hotel.
Silly faces...
Dinner out for Frieda's birthday.
Ava, Grant, Griffin & Sabine
G & S love Ava! (She lost her front tooth the first night of camping)
Siblings.
The main event...demolition derby time!
It's loud!
...but worth it! :)
And thru all that noise, this is what Sabine was doing...she woke up at the end, rested & happy!

We made it! Or more accurately, we survived! :) On Friday, we drove to Seattle (on our way to Bellingham) and stayed at a hotel on Lake Union. My former employer used to have an office close by so I was familiar w/the area and knew the kids would enjoy watching the seaplanes take-off and land and there are plenty of restaurants w/in walking distance as well. The next morning we walked thru Pike Place market and then got on the road to Silver Lake Park in Maple Falls (near the Canadian-border), where we were meeting friends for a night of camping. The kids had a great time and didn't sleep in the car on the way up so they were in their sleeping bags by 7:30pm and asleep by 8! Taking a kid's potty in the car/tent was a big success, however, having a just potty-trained child on a car trip is a bit challenging...I can't even count how many times we had to pull over. I would have limited her liquid intake more but it was 80-90 degrees the entire time, so I thought the hydration was probably more important. On Sunday, we followed our friends to Bellingham and stayed there for two nights, going to the NW Washington Fair in Lynden on Monday. Griffin has been talking about the demolition derby, his highlight of this annual trip, all year long and was not disappointed...he loves it! I don't think he stops grinning the entire time. Thanks Frieda & family for a great time!!
In order to break the trip up on the way home, we stopped at the Seattle Children's Museum...so fun!
