Every kid needs their own wheel...(Monday Carter Edition #28)

This weekend we were enjoying our last few days with Kimmi. Carter and I loved having her here for the week and I don't think we were ready for our time to end. Friday we had lunch at one of our favorite local spots Gere-A-Deli. Kim ordered the catch of the day...

She was pretty sweet...

We were also enjoying all the family time we could get, seeing as Nate is headed out again tomorrow, but more on that later (right now we're in DENY DENY DENY mode)...

Saturday we made our way to Seattle to take Kim to the airport. We decided to make a day of it and spent the afternoon at Fun Forest. It is directly beneath the space needle and I think all the vintage kiddie rides are so cool....


First up for Carter was a ride on the pirate ship with her main man...


She was a little terrified but I thought she did great (that's not saying much considering I'm the person who has been know to cry when people try to drag me on roller coasters)...

Waiting in line to ride the cars...

Ready to drive...

And it was Kim who made the observation that whoever designed these was thinking like a three year old because, no matter where you happen to sit, every kid has their own wheel, ingenious and OH so important!

Next up a ride on the carousel...


Followed by the kiddie roller coaster...


Carter was slightly nervous about this one...

But is was nothing that a little pep talk from her daring Aunt couldn't solve...




With a determined bounce they headed up the plank...




Started with a smile...



Rode like a champ...


And ended with the same little grin...

Last but not least, a little high flying fun...

It was a great way to spend our afternoon. And, I think it is safe to say that summer has arrived in Washington! Oh, and so has this awesome t-shirt...sorry I just couldn't help it...


Kim, we are so glad we got to spend the week with you! It means more than you know. You are, without a doubt, one of our favorite people! We love you so much...












Thanks for coming to see us!!
