staycation picture overload

{stay-cations} are great fun, especially with good friends here from Alaska! we have enjoyed the Washington sights, having "grown-up" hangout time talking and watching movies in the evenings post-kid's bedtimes, and ventures to the park soaking up the beautiful sunshine!

the husbands (I claim the stud on the right)

quite a change, having a little girl around the house!

the wives

these little boys are a month apart in age. their daddies are best friends. they play so sweet together. they have meltdowns at similar times and in similar ways. they encourage each other to go tee tee in the big potty. their friendship is inevitable. 

my three favorites. otherwise known as the blue-eyed family.

my only animal picture at northwest trek. hello, bison.

well, hello there, mr. mountain! so lovely to see you for the past few days! makes me super excited for the spring and summer!

princess Abigail and mr. levi. I think he's trying to flirt, but it doesn't look like she's too impressed.

three little friends watching Thomas the train.

all this vacationing is wearing me out!
