Coming to a Close...

Our time in Seattle is quickly coming to a close. Here is a run down of some exciting events from the past few days:
  • We had the missionaries over for dinner on Friday night.
  • On Saturday, we visited the Museum of Flight. Kristen (upstairs) gave us some free passes that she had. (So nice of her!) Parker liked seeing all of the planes, but was disappointed when he couldn't touch most of them. We got to tour an old Air Force One.Paul AKA Jack BauerBlack Mail
  • Father's Day was Sunday and we had a big breakfast for Dad. Later. we had dinner upstairs with the Jenson's and Parker and I made a Razzleberry Pie (pre-made/frozen, just to clarify) for Paul. Paul really is such a great Dad! On Mother's Day he refuses to let me change any diapers because it is my 'special day' and on Father's Day he says the Father gets to be in charge and insists on changing the diapers. He always makes time to play with each of the little ones and always makes sure I get time for myself too. Happy Father's Day Paul!
  • Monday was 'Bring your kids to work Day' at the F.TC. Parker had been looking forward to this for at least a week leading up to it. He got to ride the bus to work with Dad and spend all morning there doing lots of fun activities with all of the other kids. Everyone there got a kick out of the fact that he would not let anyone call him Parker, only Randall (see previous post for explanation)! I picked him up at lunch time and he was wiped out. Here are Parker and Dad ready for work:
  • Tuesday night, we went to the Seattle Mariners baseball game with Paul's coworkers. It was great to meet all of the people he has told me about. Parker loved the game and even got a free baseball they were giving out. Autumn held up surprisingly well, of course she was more interested in looking at the people all around us than the game. She did start joining in a couple of times with all of the fans clapping. (The Mariners were playing the Padres and lost, although they rallied at the end to make it exciting. Also, we got to see Griffey hit a home run!) It really was a lot of fun!Parker was dancing to the music.
