Busy Summer - Let's Start w/ Seattle!

Well, I've neglected our blog this summer to say the least, but I have a good excuse (actually several).  I'll start from when we left Okinawa.  Talk about a whirlwind.  Bennett graduated from Kindergarten on Friday and we hopped our plane home early Saturday morning.  Conveniently traveling back in time, we arrived in Seattle Saturday morning as well.  Our plan was to stay over in Seattle for about 4 nights to help get us over the jet lag hurdle and explore beautiful Washington State in the process.  It was the perfect time to visit the pacific northwest coming from hot and steamy Okinawa.  We spent our days driving (on the right side of the road) and enjoying the lovely scenery with two boys wrestling in the backseat.  Can you say Grizwalds????  Oh the joys of traveling with a 4 year old and 6 year.  Olympic National Park was a highlight of our trip for sure reintroducing the boys to snow, lakes, and giant trees.  The views were stunning and we were all amazed walking through the rainforest at the gorgeous, mossy trees.  God's creations never cease to take our breath away.  Seattle was wonderful, but we were excited about our next stop.......my home sweet home!
