Grandma BB's Visit

Grandma BB came out Friday night from Duxbury, MA to visit the girls, well and us too, but more importantly the girls.  We had a fun filled weekend.  On Saturday morning we got up and took the girls to breakfast at JAK's.  Not only do they have the best burgers in the world, but also an amazing breakfast spread.  The girls ate their weight in waffles, fruit, and eggs.  After JAK's we decided to check out the Seattle Children's Museum.  It was the first really rainy Saturday in Seattle so I think everyone else had the same idea.  The girls had a lot of fun.  Emma was a maniac and was running around getting into everything.  Then they came home and took a loooonnnggg nap. After their nap we left the girls with BB for about an hour, Chad and I ran down to the Ale house for a beer or two, or four.  Sunday mommy got a break and got to go to the Seahawks game.  Daddy and BB were on duty all day.  It was such a nice break and the hawks actually won.  Today we ventured to Costco, BB's first Costco trip.   The girls were also supposed to start school today in Bellevue but they both had snotty noses and I didn't want to be "that mom".  After their afternoon nap we decided to go walk around the zoo and get some fresh air.  The zoo in the afternoon on a weekday is the PERFECT time to go.  We were able to see all the animals walking around and even got to feed the giraffe.  I would have to say that it was the best zoo trip I have ever had.  Then it was time for dinner, a bath, and to say goodbye to BB until Christmas.

Emma wasn't so graceful.  She dove down head first.

This balloon neck monkey kept watching me, I think he likes having his picture taken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sunshine bears were hiding, but clearly the girls weren't too worried.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The gorillas were out moving around, eating and enjoying the afternoon sun.
