Last weekend, Kent and I took the kids to Seattle for a little family vacation. We ate dinner at the "Rainforest Cafe." After all the trips to Downtown Disney, while we lived in Florida, we never made to the Cafe until now. I think I was as excited as the kids because I always wanted to go there. During dinner we saw lots of people getting the Volcano delivered to their table. A group of servers will call out "Volcanoooooo!" as they bring this sparkling ginormous brownie thing to your table. While we were waiting for ours to arrive, Kent took the kids to look at the fish. I was sitting at the table alone when I heard a group of servers call out, "Volcanooooooo!" and start heading in the direction of our table. "Please don't bring that huge thing to my table as I sit here alone," I thought. Luckily they passed my table and dropped it off for someone else. Kent saw the terror in my eyes and decided to keep the kids at the fish tank a little longer. I sent him a threatening text and they made it to the table before our volcano did. Whew.

The next morning we picked up Steiger, Kent's old mission companion, from the airport. After eating breakfast the boys went to the Safeco Stadium to watch the Mariners game.

While the boys were at the game, Ella and I went shopping, ate lunch and then went to have our nails painted. They even had a little DVD for Ella to watch. Does life get any better? I think not.

When the game ended, we took Steiger back to the airport and then headed to the Family Fun Park. Ethan and Kent did some go-karts and mini golf.

Once again, Ella and I were left to find our own fun.



Ethan joined in on the fun after his golf game.

Ethan's favorite thing about staying in hotels is the pool!
