I got to visit amazing family that I haven't seen in a long time (about 20 years).
We played BINGO with my great grandma.
Where we got to meet my grandma's awesome friend named Rita from Germany. She was so much fun! My Uncle and Dad and Rita both won!I don't have very good luck so I didn't win anything! But it was so much fun to get to know my grandma again and see her be so intense with BINGO!
We followed BINGO with a visit to the Seattle Zoo, where I got to see some really neat animals! (Cheetahs, Leopards, Sloth Bears, Mini-Horses, Penguines, a random Peacock, oh and did I mention Cheetahs! And so many more that I can't even mention them) I also learned that my Aunt Brandi absolutely loves Pigs! :D I'm so sad that my camera wouldn't focus on the Cheetah! I mean how often will I get to see one of my favorite animals!
Peacock? Really a Peacock? Just walking down the pathway!
Goats for RJ
Cheetah!
Mini-Horses! My dad spent seriously about 30 minutes!
We went back to the house had dinner and picked up my mom and went to see the Space Needle!
Kendall and I in-front of the Space Needle!

Mom and Dad in line at the Space Needle!
Cool view from the Observation Deck of the Space Needle!
Yet another view from the Observation Deck!
The next morning we went to a tour of the Puget Sound! We had such an attractive tour guide!
Such a neat looking Ferris Wheel!
Skyline view from the Sound!
This is the super attractive tour guide named Josh!
After the tour we went to the Aquarium where we got to see some Seals, Sea Lions, tons of baby River Otters!
Then we went home to meet my mom's friends Cheryl and Rosemary. Rosemary also has Churg-Strauss which is how we got to meet them! They are such a fun couple, and believe that Kendall and I are adoption material! Ha ha! I'm pretty excited about that!
Our final day in Seattle Dad, Kendall, John and I went to the Aerospace Museum! It was such a blast! I got to see some pretty amazing things! I can't even post all of the pictures that are neat!
This picture is someone who looks exactly like my friend Denna from North Dakota! Oh my lanta! I totally thought it was her for a minute until I saw her with a little kid.
After the Aerospace Museum we had a Picnic with my family at Martha's Lake! It was so much fun. The peirs were so beautiful! And the company was great!
This crane just came and perched on the railing of the pier! It was great!
Lilly pads! Legitimate lily pads on this lake!
Kendall staring off into the distance!
My feet hanging off the end of the pier! I just couldn't help but swing them!
What an amazing view and what lighting! I love how light plays off of trees!
Um...I just have to say that my family is completely adorable. These are my grandparents. They are so in love still that it is incredible! They make me believe that love does still exist in this world.
Now in case you were wondering the one on the left is me and the one on the right is my great grandma. And yes we are both sticking out our booties to the camera! And yes my great grandma was a great sport about it! I love her very much!
That night I got sick and was up the entire night throwing up, but that's okay because I got to be with my family and it was worth the pain.
The following day we drove most of the way home (correction, Kendall drove most of the way, I slept since I didn't sleep that night) but we didn't make it. We only got to Treemonton! And then finished the drive the next day!
This was such a great experience. And I would never trade a single minute of my time with any of my family ever! They make me who I am. And I do not ever want to be unable to have family surround me!
