SPOKANE
Yeahooo! A plane ride with my sweet pea!
Ains and I traveled to Spokane, WA together - and spent some much-needed time with my
sis and Ainsley's cousins (including the newest addition). Just the vacation we needed.
{I truly meant to post this forever-ago!}
 |
| both of us amazed at this Beautiful Wonder |
 |
| Ains never tired of asking to hold Posy. This bodes well for her becoming a big sister in her own right! :) |
 |
| THE COUSINS - Tulip, Ains, Baby Posy, Snapdragon & Primrose (screennames) |
(sidenote: all of those really good photos were taken by my sister, who is a pro with the camera)
 |
| bedtime stories - for the whole gang |
 |
| kicked those kids out of the house to run off some steam - even though it was quite wet! |
DANCING - on the Wii??? I'm hooked!
The sisters have to try it out first:
Ains rocks the wii:
 |
| ah! sunshine!!! [Auntie helping Ains ride] |
 |
| Primrose took Ains under her wing |
 |
| bunch of monkeys! |
 |
| The cousins humored Ains with her million requests to play the game: Bingory. |
 |
| so. so. so. SWEET. These two played together like siblings. DARLING. |
 |
| Ains in awe of Prim |
 |
| oh. DEAR. - sugar cereal has now been introduced. (thank you, Auntie Sarah) |
 |
| never enough of this sweet baby!! |
 |
| Tulip and her sister |
 |
| one VERY last game of Bingory! (game 372) |
 |
| Good-bye for now - Love you all so very very much! |
SEATTLE / BELLINGHAM
off on another plane - to visit the Grandparents, Auntie Haylie & Cousin Cole
Dasha and Grandpa Jack picked us up at the airport and took us to The Old Spaghetti Factory (mom's fav) for lunch!
Stayed at Nana's house - a great spot to PLAY!!
 |
| My Nana!! (out for breakfast - one of her favorite things) |
Baby Cole!!!
 |
| want a princess? |
 |
| Irresistable face and hair-do on this little guy, no? |
 |
| too darn cute! |
 |
| yikes! Maybe helping too much! |
Visit to Dasha and Grandpa Jack's house
 |
| imaginative play with full adult interaction! fabulous. |
 |
| mom and Ains just being silly |
Grandpa Rex and Grandma Dee
 |
| Ains loved Papa's hat |
 |
| out for a late night ice-cream |
Everyone Together - for a large family dinner at Dasha and Jack's:
 |
| Mom, Cole, Nana & Aunt Haylie |
 |
| at dinner - ABear insisted on sitting between her two Grandpas - she sure does love them! |
 |
| Baby Cole gave the wettest good-bye kisses! |
Funny what kids can get grown-ups to do. Especially our charismatic, convincing and slightly bossy girl, ABear. After initiating the ridiculous "game" of 'pass the coaster' -- she somehow got each and every grandparent to stand up on this table:
 |
| Dasha - always a willing sport |
 |
| Nana - mortified that she was talked into this |
 |
| Papa Rex - pleased to be so tall! |
 |
| Grandpa Jack - can't stop laughing!! |
What a trip!
 |
| a great traveler and helper |
