Shortly after we got home from Yellowstone, Tim (Steve's brother) & Liz and their family came to visit us. Anna and Matthew were so excited to have their cousins over visiting. Unfortunately, Anna was so excited that she kept all of her cousins up all night. She had to be moved to a different room for the other couple of nights.
I have to admit, cooking for 7 kids and 2 adults is tricky. Finding food that everyone likes and finding a spot for everyone to sit were the biggest challenges.
On Saturday, we all headed over to Seattle. Pike's Place Market was first on our list. Boy! was it crowded! We could barely move and keeping track of 7 kids in the crowd was a major chore. We saw some major highlights, though. The gum wall was visited, we saw some fish throwing, and we bought flowers. We were then going to the Space Needle, but the price was so expensive to go up, that we just drove by. The afternoon was topped off by a lunch at Ivar's Fish House. Again, we would have liked to go to one of the restaurants, but they were SO expensive!
Matthew really hit it off with Spencer. They played and raced whenever they could. They both declared the other to be his best friend. Anna, Sarah, & Whitney spent all most of one day playing with Anna's cupcake game. They wrote dozens of new 'recipes' to make with the cupcakes, complete with pictures.
It was really nice to have Tim & Liz and their kids come over. We had lots of fun having cousins over.
