A Visit from Grandma!

We were all lucky to have Grandma Storrs visit us this past weekend! She left sunny San Diego and fortunately came up to a sunny Seattle. As soon as she got off of the plane the activities started: we went to the Seattle Center where we went to the EMP (Paul Allen's Experience Music Project ) and the Science Museum. After that, we had a late lunch at the Sky City restaurant - at the top of the Space Needle. The kids have been begging to go up to the top of the Space Needle since we moved up to Washington - we finally did it! And they LOVED it! On Saturday, we got up and went to our favorite breakfast at The Testy Chef Cafe in Maple Valley. We all had a great time eating in the patio overlooking the Cedar River. After breakfast it was time to get the girls home to prepare for their dance recital. That was certainly the highlight of the weekend. Both Clarissa and Carrin did an outstanding job. That night, after the recital, we enjoyed pizza at The Rock over in Covington. After dinner, the kids and dad got on the bikes while mom & grandma walked after them up to the various parks within our community. As obvious from the pictures and the video, they had a great time! Finally, after going to Church on Sunday morning, we enjoyed a visit to the Snoqualmie Falls. As the weather was nice all weekend, it was a another perfect day to be outside!
Needless to say, the timing of the visit was brilliant - arriving the day after we lost Roxie. We did a LOT in just 2 1/2 days!!! It was the perfect distraction to get the family to move forward. Thanks Mom!
