Brady's Wedding

 

This is our family in Seattle with the most Seattle-y thing we could think of.  

THE SPACE NEEDLE

It was much smaller than I had anticipated.

And, yes that is a blue sky in Seattle.  What can I say, we just lucked out.

This is Shane and Bleu and Miley at the Pacific Science Center.  We tried to find something to do that was fun for all ages and would be a Seattle like thing to do.  We even saw and IMAX movie while we were there.

Here are some of the cousins playing in the bubbles at the PSC.  They had all sorts of stuff there.  A water play area, a tidepool with starfish and anemones, a lightflash room, dress up, bugs to look at, a giant chess set and chair and table, dinosaurs....LOTS OF STUFF!

This is Brady, being Brady

This is Kirtlan, being Kirtlan

(actually I think he's being a police officer)

They had a buterfly atrium and Michelle caught a butterfly with her camera

And Chad caught one with his shoulder.

And Maddie caught one with some help from Michelle

Maddie was really careful not to touch the butterfly, just to let the butterfly touch her.

This is Kimball showing me the butterfly he just saw.

We went to the beach at Alki and it was fun.

Olympic Weightlifters have nothing on him!

Nor this guy (who is Cannon for the twin-inept)

Chad is thinking fashion forward

We had a surprise party for Grandma and Grandpa's 35 wedding anniversary.

With balloons and squealing kids and everything.

Nellie made a movie for them and if you look really carefully at the screen of the flatscreen in the bottom right corner you can see a picture of little Craig.

This is the happy couple just moments before Melissa's newly inherited 14 or so nieces and nephews attacked the couple.

Aren't they cute?  Don't they look so fancy?

A bunch of nieces doing what they do best

I don't know what Chad told them to say but it was something that would require you to open your mouth really wide.

Maddie was much too smart for such trickery.
