Spring Break #2

Kaden had been asking about seeing the animals for about a week before we left, so I think the zoo was the highlight of the trip for him.

We went to Dash Point (I think that's what it's called..). It's a beach and has some hiking trails around it. I was surprised how easily Kaden got in the water and got dirty! Normally he hates getting his hands or anything else dirty. But, he had so much fun playing in the water and meeting new cousins!

We took a hike and it was pretty steep, so Kaden walked for like 2 minutes, then Grandpa carried him. Here he is just truckin' along!
The view once we got up the trail was beautiful!


(above:)Kaden found a good place to hold his sticks that he had to carry... When he wanted to fight, he just grabbed them and would fight for a minute, then stick them back in his pockets.
We went to The Rainforest Cafe a few nights before we left. It's such a fun atmosphere.. especially for Kaden. I didn't realize he had ranch dripping down his face! He looks cute anyway. And at least we know he was enjoying his food!
Kaden & Uncle Ben.. Ben looks so much like Brady! A couple times this trip I almost mistaked him for Brady.. awkward!


Brady's sweet Grandma! She put up with all of us for a week and was a great host. I'm so glad we could stay at her house. We don't get to see her often enough.

We stopped at Snoqualmie Falls on our way home. It's also very beautiful!
We had so much fun and were very grateful for the perfect weather!! Washington is just beautiful. Everything is green and there are so many trees. Thanks to my Dad's GPS, we could actually find places pretty easily. It was a great break, so it's hard to get back into the swing of things. But, I have alot I want to get done before the baby gets here in.. 3 months! It's going so fast.

Happy Easter!!

*Does anyone know of any Easter egg hunts?? Let me know!

Okay, so I think Kaden grew up even more while you guys were gone. He looks so grown up in the pictures, and its only been like three weeks! Looks like you guys had an awesome time! Glad Amanda commented on the easter egg hunt, we wanted to take Tayden too! See you in the morning...and PS-A babe in 3 months? You better start looking pregnant or no one is going to believe you!!! :)
