Our Wilde Weekend

We had such a fun weekend! We were a bit nervous (especially Gordon) about going on an overnighter with all four kids, but we had lots of people make it easy on us. Including our four kids! We left yesterday for a trip up to Seattle and Chandler, Emilee, and Aidan all slept on the way up. We stopped for dinner at Chuck E. Cheeses and then headed to my dear friend (from my HS days) Laura's house for the night. She and her husband Robert were kind enough to accommodate all of us very comfortably! Here are the kids with her Grayden.

And Laura and I. . . Thanks Laura! We had such fun! It was much easier on us than expected! Then this morning, we headed off to see Great Grandpa Wilde who is in town visiting his daughter. We spent a couple of hours at her house, and the kids got to know Great Grandpa Wilde again. As you can see, it was crawling with children, once again. We love to visit GG Wilde, as he seems to enjoy the children so much. We had lunch with them at Red Robin and then headed for home. Chandler woke up a bit earlier than expected from his nap on the way home, and we ended up stopping for a run at one of the fabulous Washington State Rest Stops, after he tearfully pleaded for "Daddy Stop!!!" for at least 15 minutes. They are pretty nice. The kids had a great time playing Frisbee, having foot races, and letting Mama and Daddy play with the camera.

Fun trip guys! You helped us feel like we will be brave enough for a longer adventure soon!
