Hanging with Grandma Dee Ann!

Dee Ann came up for her annual month long visit to Washington and split her time with Melanie and with us. She came over for a weekend before Girl's Camp and then came back over after Girl's camp. We took her to Alki Beach in West Seattle because she's never been there. It was overcast and not very nice, but then right before we were leaving it cleared up and was a nice day. We also went to the zoo, Children's Museum, Ivar's Restaurant (creamy delicious clam chowder!), Kyle and I went on a couple dates, went school shopping and a trip to the Temple.



Kate was building some serious sand castles



We were trying to figure out what to do with the kids and we were thinking of doing Ride the Ducks in Seattle, but then online I found out about this summer fair at Remlinger Farms in Carnation so we ventured there. It was a lot of fun for the kids. We'll definitely be going back. We thought we would spend 2 hrs there and we were there for over 4! haha. They have some fair rides, animals, train rides, pony rides and more for the kids and you pay like $10 a kid and they can do everything over and over. Cheap!


Kate loved the pony rides


Preston was fine until the pony moved, then he was done!




We got on the train and he was MUCH happier!




Watch out! Kate drove Grandma around in the car. Preston and Lindsey drove me and Kyle.


Flying Pumpkins







They had this huge area for a hay jump. The kids loved it and unfortunately brought home lots of the straw!




Barrel ride (like the tea cup ride), I got ours spinning and almost made me sick!


The little roller coaster. Preston is sitting next to me, you can barely see him, he didn't want to go on it, but at the end I made him go with me. He was fine once he got on and was raising his hands and screaming along with the other kids. It was funny! That's why I'm laughing so hard. Kate squeezed in with the 2 girls in the last car.


Pedal bikes on a course


The sign says it all!

It looks like you had a lot of fun at remlinger farms. I think you are the 3rd or 4th person to tell me about that place. We'll definitely have to check it out now.

I love that shirt on Preston and he's so cute in his glasses. Adorable!

There is definitely a bunch of fun things to do over there. I've been dreaming of the beach this summer. Great pics!

Seriously, I want to be adopted into your family! You guys do the most awesome things - Kate, Preston and Lindsay are very lucky kiddos!

That looks like a fun place. If I could just convince Jason that the ride over there isn't that bad with five kids....I don't know.
