The Johnson Fam Comes for a Visit


We were so excited to have Dad's family come for a visit this month. They came on an exciting day (we found out that our baby will be a girl) and it was Mom's birthday (what a great birthday present!) Anyway, Stratton was very happy to see them get off the plane. He wasn't too sure about K, but later in the trip he wouldn't leave her alone for a minute! Right after they flew in we drove through some pretty hectic traffic and went to the Sonics game.

DAY TWO
The next day was rainy (imagine that) and we decided to go up to Snoqualmie Falls.



We took the 1/2 mile hike to the viewing area at the bottom of the falls, which really seemed like a mile and a half, just ask A! It was muddy and steep, but we all made it and it was worth it. S and M really liked watching the water.



We told these two to hug each other and S put M in a headlock and wouldn't let go!

DAY THREE

We were all supposed to go to Vancouver, CANADA this day, but we had a few glitches with birth certificates. We sent T and K in Dad's super shakey truck (it's getting old). They had an adventure there. Back in Seattle we decided to take S and M to the Children's Museum where they just got a brand new Bob the Builder exhibit. We won't tell you that we didn't have enough seats for everyone in our car so S had to ride in the very back of the 4-runner...Anyway here are some pictures from the museum.


This was M's favorite place to be! She probably slid down the slide twenty times or more.


Yep, S looks like a stud in those safety glassess!
Sailing was fun, until M decided to jump ship.
This is Mom's favorite picture! Dad and A are playing drums that only they could see, it was hilarious!
(Mom shouldn't make too much fun of Dad and A!)

DAY FOUR

On this day we all went into Seattle to see some of the tourist areas that Seattle is famous for. We first took a little (and I mean it was SHORT!) train ride to get to the market.

Pikes Place Market!


The waterfront with the two cutest cousins ever!

T took S and M into the fountain at the Seattle Center. S enjoyed the experience, M not so much!


It was a fun time and we were so glad that they could come out and experience a bit of Washington, now if only we could have more visitors. . .
