This was an unplanned little vacation for us.
After our wonderful Thanksgiving in Washington we decided that we just couldn't wait until summer to go back up there, plus Michael's best friend Dustin was having his wedding reception so we hopped in the car and made that horrible drive.
P.s. It isn't that horrible if you don't have a baby.
Anyway, it was a blast.
Not the drive part, but the hanging out with the family part.
Michael's aunt Julie came down from Whidbey Island just to see us.
Well mostly Olivia.
And that just added to the crazy fun.
Golfing, shopping, games, movies, pepsi spills in the car (haha Amy), food, a house tour, Michael's best friend's wedding reception and of course lots of talking and relaxing.
It was the best.
Olivia of course was in heaven with her grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncle, and great aunt playing 24/7 with her.
She got unlimited pepsi tastes, doggie and kitty visits, treats, vacuum visits, and most of all hugs and kisses.
But like it always does, the week just flew by.
And it was time to make the horrible drive home.
It wasn't as horrible as the way up, but still, 12 hours is 12 hours.
As always, I am so bad at taking pictures, but I did manage to snap a few cuties.
Aunt Julie took everyone out to Outback Steakhouse. She is so sweet. Olivia loved wondering from person to person collecting her bits of food. Her favorite thing was a new game she played with Grandpa. She would put the straw in her mouth and then transfer it to his mouth using her mouth. Wow, that was an interesting description but I think you get it.
It was adorable and absolutely hilarious as you can tell by aunt Julie's face.
Matthew gave his girlfriend the cutest tiniest turtle Doodle for her Birthday.
And we of course just had to see it.
Olivia loved it.
As you know, Olivia loves to be a part of EVERYTHING that is going on.
So here she is helping grandpa make pancakes.
She loves her uncle Matthew.
And her aunt Sarah.
She's the one who always took her to see the vacuum.
Uncle Matthew taught Olivia 2 new tricks.
#1. Pounding knuckles
#2. Softly hitting her mouth while making a sound.
(The Native American sound as some might know it as)
She found a comfy little spot right in grandpa's arms and was quite content lying there for a while.
It was record breaking I'd say.
I'm telling ya she is a little busy bee.

Michael, Dustin, and Eric.
The 3 best friends.
All happily married now, yay!
With the wives.
Playing cards.
One of my personal favorite things to do.
Aunt Rachel was so cute to help Olivia play too.
She loves her Aunti Rachel!
The nose scrunch bunny sniff.
It is hilarious.
Especially since she had a little runny nose, so whenever she did it there were constant snot bubbles forming on her little nose.
She loved the bunny.
Anyway, thank you Antone, Kelly, Matthew, Rachel, Sarah, and Julie for making our week a fabulous one.
We hope to see you soon!
