Summer Vacation: Washington

Washington was such a fun part of the trip. One because I love visiting new places and seeing new things, and two because our whole Morris side of the family was able to be together again, including the brand new edition, baby Ellie. It was fun to have a little Morris family reunion!

We started out with Ellie's baby blessing, the air show, and a nice dinner at the park. It was a nice relaxing day!

The next day we visited downtown Seattle, Pikes Market, and went to the Pacific Science Center. It was a fun day!

 Pacific Science Center... very  neat!

 Another day we went to Snoqualmie Falls and then had a wonderful lunch and played at a park after. Then Nick, Katelyn, and I went to visit his Aunt Amy and her family. His brother Daniel, wife Julie, and little niece Leila. As well as Nick's Grandad!

 Lot's of playing at the park :)

 And a lot of swinging!

Another day we drove up Mt. Rainier and took a hike part way up the Mountain. It was great!

 SNOW! Yes, snow in August. This is what we hiked through on Mt. Rainier. Felt very good after coming from Oklahoma
 One of the last days we went to the park again and played some games as a family. My dad came up with some pretty fun Minute to win it games! If you have seen the show you'll know what I'm talking about.
 More swinging! Katelyn loves the swings more than anything at the park

Well, that's about all the pictures I have for Washington. I hope I didn't miss anything. It was a very fun trip and I'm glad my parents provided a fun and relaxing time for us. I can't wait to visit family again!
