Wednesday
We drove 6 hours to Coeur d'Alene and the kids did amazing the whole time. They were such troopers during the long car ride. We stayed the night and enjoyed Coeur d'Alene the next day.
Thursday
We started the day driving to Spokane where we spent time touring Gonzaga University and looking for anything highlighting John Stockton's time at the university. Unfortunately we couldn't get into the basketball stadium where we heard they have tons of John Stockton memorabilia. Then we went down to the river parkway and let the kids ride the carousel and went on a gondola ride to view the falls. They also had a great wagon slide that the boys loved going on. We went back to Coeur d'Alene and went down to Lake Coeur d'Alene and walked around the floating dock and found a fun playground for the boys to play on.
Friday
We drove to Seattle where our first stop was Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Cheesecake Factory was located in a great mall and we enjoyed some shopping as well. Then we met up with my family (all 17 of us) and went to the Mariners/Yankee game and had a great time.
Saturday
We went to the BYU/Washington game. The game was great except for the Washington students horrible mouths. I felt bad for my kids to have to listen to such awful language. But, BYU pulled out the victory luckily. Then we went to dinner with the family and enjoyed some down time and visiting at the hotel pool.
Sunday
We went to Pike's Place Market and enjoyed walking around and seeing all the fun booths. Then we drove to Missoula and stayed the night.
Monday
Drove the rest of the way home. The kids did so great on the drive home too.
The trip was amazing. The drive went so smooth. Spending time with family made the 11 hour drive all worth it. Seattle is a beautiful city and I loved it. I want to go back and visit when we can spend more time touring the city. Thanks to all my family for making the trip so we could all be together. Thank you for all the people who planned the trip and spent time making reservations and getting tickets. I love you all and am so thankful for the memories we get to make together.

Love ALL of your pictures. Thanks so much for making the very long drive so that we could all meet in Seattle and PARTY! It was a great boost to all of us to cuddle with Crew and tease and wrestle with Colton and Cannon. You are Greg are such good parents! We loved being with you so much. Thanks....and where are we going next????
Those were some seriously PACKED days! Glad you guys had fun, but we missed you! ;)
I just love that Crew looks like he is enjoying the game as much as the rest of you! We were worried about that BYU game thinking it wouldn't be too fun if you guys were there and they lost... good thing they squeaked out that extra point!
That was an event filled weekend. The boys look like they are really enjoying themselves (Greg included BYU). Glad you had fun and I hope you have made some progress on your laundry!!
I didn't realize how big of a group you had at the games..fun! And sorry about the foul language. I heard it was pretty bad.
We had so much fun! I am so glad you guys decided to come at the last minute, it wouldn't have been the same without you. Glad you made it back safely. We love you!
Thank you for making the long drive with your boys to be with us this past weekend...it was such a blast! Can't wait to see you in Utah in just a few weeks!
Looks like a fantastic trip. I love Pike's Market! Glad you are home safe.
What a fun trip!!! I love the cute family photos, and also love that big red wagon slide. My girls would love that.
Wow- you guys did A LOT in a few days, sounds like so much fun!
Tannon would love love love that wagon slide, he's obsessed with his wagon in the back yard!
I'm so glad it was a good trip. Your pictures look so fun. We love Riverfront Park in Spokane. So fun. Did you do the garbage eating goat? :O)
