Today we took Andy to the pier in Seattle so he could leave on his cruise to Alaska with Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Frank, and Aunt Amy. He was so excited that he got up at 6:15 this morning. I usually have trouble dragging him out of bed before 8:00.
I wish we could have gotten a picture when we got to the point when we saw the ship for the first time. His eyes got so big and this huge smile broke out on his face. He had no idea it would be so BIG. Actually, neither did we.

Getting to the terminal before the crowd- whew!
They use those cranes to load the luggage on board

Virtual kayaking
Tugboat races

Then because we were in Seattle and it was so close to Mother's Day we stopped see Chris' mom. It was so nice to see her and our nephew Ben again and get to visit with them. We are hoping that they will be able to come and see us soon.

Mmmmm, I LOVE lunch at Ivar's on the pier. It's one of my favorite things to do in Seattle! It looks like you guys had such a fun day! How long will Andy be gone? That's such a great tradition of your parents taking each of the boys on their own special trip. What a great memory for them!
Hi every one, I had fun seeing you all on Saturday and I'm glad you took the chance to catch me home.
Great reading about your adventures. I will check in regularly if its okay!
Happy summer!

Wow, a cruise to Alaska sounds great. No wonder Andy was up out of bed so early. How long will he be away for? Are your other two boys wishing they could've gone too? (Not to mention yourself)
Hope you had a good Mother's Day. Mine was a rush of church followed by visits & meals with both sides of the family and the kids are always tired by the end. Never very relaxing, but the Mother's Day tradition seems to have been set.
Blessings,
Paula
