Vashion Island, WA

 

Can you smell the salt water and hear the seagulls fly by? 

It was amzing. 

 

We ate all our meals with this fantastic view of

bald eagles flying by with their days catch.

 

 

Monopoly and corn on the cob on the deck.

 

Aidan get his love for card games from his gramma Bitting.

 

Ethan plays a game of Cranium by himself.

 

Mom's first s'more.

It was too sweep for her.

 

Elise love climbing on all the unique chairs and rocker in the cabin. 

It was the most amazing cabin I've ever stay in. 

 

 

The man with the connections. 

My brother Thao has some major generous friends who lent him the cabin for the week. 

Pike Place Summer 2012

 

Seattle.  The city where we met and married. 

Which is funny that I no longer think of it first as home or the city where I grew up. 

It is so great to see the kids enjoy the city I love so much!  They played and ate their way through the days.  We had so much support from a very special auntie to whom we would like to dedicate this very possible blog post to. 

For the days when Terresa was not with us the kids either asked about her or asked to go to where she works to visit her.  The boys also asked if we could go away so they can stay with Auntie.  I think some major spoiling was going on but mums the word.  What happens with Auntie remains a lil secret between the three four of them  Like theone time the GPS found Dairy Queen.

 

I heart Croissants!!!

 

Aidan's saving it for later.

 

Croissant and double coffee

 

We make a wish at every foutian we see on vacation.

Ethan praying his wish come true.

 

Aidan's shadow heart.

 

 

 

 

Ahh the gum wall. 

My first time visiting the gum wall with the kiddos and Kyle. 

It was dark and damp and impressive. 

 

 

Auntie Terresa/Tortilla and Elise.

We just love her!

 

 

 

The that age and that forced smile.  

I could eat her up anyway. 

 

 

I have no idea what Ethan was pouting about. 

He's always a cutie to me.

On the second day of school Aidan is assigned to bring in four things from summer.

Item one: a peice of drift wood from Vashion Island, WA

Item 2: A baseball from the perfect pitch Seattle Mariners babseball game he attended on August 14th.

Item 3: Movie ticket from the first date night with Mom.  We saw Ice Age Continental drift.

Item four:  He asked for a printed picture of his cousin Danica. 

"She's so cute mom" he says. 

 

WE spent our weekend with Danica much like the image in this photo.  When she was not sleeping, we all piled on top of each other fighting for a touch and glimpse of her. 

 

Isn't she precious? 

 

Dani has rock star parents. 

Thanh and Brian are all smiles all day. 

 They are usually happy folks anyway. 

But with Danica, I'm talking about teeth showing ear to ear glee.

Welcome to the world little one. 

The Bitting's love you so much.
