The circumstances worked out perfect for Allie and I to head up to Seattle for the week to visit my sister and her family. We drove with Blake up to Kennewick, WA and stayed Sunday night with him. We dropped him off there and headed out Monday morning to Seattle.
Our week was filled with lots of fun excursions, lots of fun times at the Littles, a 101 Crash course on Couponing, and two outings to my new favorite store in Bellevue-The Good Will.
Tuesday morning we got both of the kids dropped off to school and headed over to the Bellevue Mall. We let Allie play on the boats for a little while and then headed off to Pottery Barn Kids Story Time. My how I wish we had this store in Boise. It was a great place to let Allie run and play for 30 minutes while we browsed the store brainstorming how to replicate everything.
Allie just kept crawling to the top of everything
Once she was on the top, she would just sit there, hang out, and hop off to the next one
After leaving the mall with nothing, we headed off to pick up Ainsley from school. We then went and hit the Nordstrom Rack and Target. My sister and I both walked away from these two stores bagless. I guess we think everything is overpriced these days due to the cheap groceries and great steals at the thrift stores.
Trying to get a photo for the grandparents-not to successful
We then tried individual photos and ended up with goofy faces
We had a nice wrestling match on the "pallet" that night
Wednesday we had a blast as we took the girls to "Pump It Up." My sister and I had as much fun if not more than the girls.
The girls had quite the fun time going through the obstacle course
Allie was able to get a little assistance from Ainsley so she could make it the whole way through
But flew with flying colors up the "ladder" portion
Definitly my favorite event of the morning...the gigantic slide
Allie loved jumping on the "spot." We couldn't figure out what was underneath this little circle, but you definitly got some big hops on this one
Thursday we went to the Good Will and had some good finds. The Bellevue store is where it's at! There were so many great clothes from Gap, Gymboree, etc. for dirt cheap. There were even handfulls still with original tags. To top it off, we hit the "pink dot day," which meant that anything with pink on it was an extra 50% off the ridiculously low prices. We walked out with great loot for a very low bill. We also celebrated Ainsley's birthday at Red Robin that night.
The girls just loved the shoes. This section backed right up to the children's clothing and kept them entertained while we shopped. We were thrilled to see there pick on shoes...hot pink boots with a 3" heel.
For dinner all the kids enjoyed milkshakes with sprinkles
Ainsley has warmed up to Red Robin-the bird. She was thrilled when he came to sing to her for her birthday. Allie wanted nothing to do with the bird and kept her eye on him the entire night. We went to the bathroom mid-dinner and had to walk to the front of the store to get to the restrooms. We passed by the "Robin" who was passing out balloons to kids. Allie stated that she didn't want the "Robin" giving her a balloon; she wanted the lady that she saw standing next to the Robin to give her a balloon.
Thanks for the fun trip Littles. We sure had a great time and wish we lived closer to you guys!
