Beautiful Seattle

 It was such a wonderful visit with Tracy and Terry in Seattle.  Kayla and Kari became fond of them immediately....Kari made a little drawing at lunch for Uncle Terry.  Quietly she whispered to me, "Mommy, how do I spell 'Uncle Terry'?"  In it she wrote, "Kari loves Uncle Terry!"  They had a blast running in circles with little cousin Mason.

Mercer Island was a cute little town.  Little drizzle of rain made the both beautiful and romantic.  Standing by the boating docks, Terry asked, "Is it raining or is it just me?!"  Little Kari standing next to him replied politely, "It is raining and it is just on you!"

Then we had the opportunity to meet up with cousin Demi in University of Washington.  The campus is nothing short of spectacular, with dreamy fall colors everywhere.  Kayla and Kari remembered Demi from their Taiwan trip, and hopped over to hold her hands right away.  The dormitory is super trendy with chalkboard scribbles and creative drawings on the wall, nothing like when we went to college.

 Mount Rainier is one of my favorite place to visit in Seattle.  It was snowing!!  The girls just love the snow...

                                      

The ferry ride to the island had the girls thoroughly confused...  They kept looking for the "Fairy" the whole time with great excitement and anticipation.  We drove the car up the ferry.  As we sat in the cabin enjoying the scenery outside of the bay and seagulls, little Kari asked curiously, "so when is the Fairy coming?..."

 There is the gorgeous seattle backdrop.  I miss this place dearly, my favorite city in the world.  And now with some of our favorite people/family.  Thank you for hosting us, we're sad to leave.
