up and down the five II

Thursday kenzie, ethan, tessa and I flew up to Washington to surprise shalyn and the kids. It was ethans first time on an airplane and he was so excited....until we went to board the airplane and he realized that daddy was not coming. He would not go with me and kept screaming no I want daddy. "Daddy go airplane with me. I want daddy go." He was crying and holding on to austin's leg. It was so sad, but after about 10 minutes I got him on the plane and he was fine and excited to push all the buttons he could get his hands on. Kenzie that night before was crying saying that she was not going to have any fun in Washington because daddy was not going to be there. I want daddy to go on the airplane. Daddy is going to be all alone and sad because I am not here. I want my daddy to go. Yea I feel like a good mom...my kids want their daddy to go and are crying because he is not going. Hello....here I am...mom is going...nope only wanted daddy.
Aaron Grover was nice enough to come and pick me up from the airport and take me to shalyn's house. It was fun seeing old friends from Hawaii again. I haven't seen Aaron in about six years so it was fun to catch up. shalyn was out and about so after 5 minutes of waiting she got home and we surprised her as she was getting out of her car. we had a good time playing at a beautiful park with a lake, picnics, mariners game, snoqualmie falls, huge rain storm, walle and playing with cousins.

Your trips really do look like a lot of fun. I'm jealous of all the places you are able to go. We always are gone, but its always like a driving trip... :) Let's hang out this week sometime.

What a fun trip! That corn dog looks soo yummy right now. (I'm hungry, can you tell?)

That pass is actually snow free? I've only driven it when it's packed with snow and you have to have chains! Ha ha! Not fun!

Looks like a great trip, once the kids got over that daddy wasn't going!
