Aunt Katie Comes to Town!

My sister came to visit at the end of April for five days.  We had a lot of fun!  The kids loved having her around, and so did I!  The first day of her visit, Jonas took off work and we drove down to Skagit Valley to see the tulips in bloom.  There are fields and fields of gorgeous tulips and daffodils.

We tried to get some good pictures, but the sun was so bright!  Lilah had an especially hard time even opening her eyes, but we ended up with a few cute shots anyway.  

After the tulips, we drove down to Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.  The weather couldn't have been nicer and the girls really enjoyed seeing the animals for the first time this year.

The next day we took a little hike to Clayton Beach in Larabee State Park (about 30 minutes from home). It was a lot of fun and Katie got some good exercise carrying Emma all the way back to the car, so she wouldn't get her shoes dirty. (Despite the fact that the rest of her was filthy from digging at the beach, including her shoes).

The rest of the week was fairly low key, with a well-check for baby on Friday morning and a dinner party with the neighbors Friday night.  Saturday was a play at home day, and Katie left on Sunday.  What a fun time! We are all really looking forward to Katie's next visit!!!
