Miss Hannah was excited about going to the American Girl Store in the same mall as the Lego Store. She was very patient in the Lego Store until we could go to the girlie store. The boys were not as patient in the girlie store. Hannah wanted to buy matching glasses for Kit. So cute! […]
Monday, July 8, 2013 Because our hotel situation had changed (we were originally staying right by Jimmy’s conference in downtown so he could walk to and from his 3-day Moz Conference … and we could be close to the hotel on our downtown outings. Well… largest room occupancy was 4 people. We knew they would […]
Quiet time on a Sunday at a hotel is a little different than quiet time at home on a Sunday. But Miss Hannah found a quiet project to do… make a duct tape purse. She attended Duct Tape Camp with the Utah County 4-H group the week before our trip. She is quiet the little […]
A bit of nature on the Sabbath Snoqualmie Falls a 268 ft Waterfall. Named after the Snoqualmie (S·dukʷalbixʷ) Tribe This was a really neat waterfall to see.
