september 2

i am so glad we decided to have a mini staycation in seattle before flying to cincinnati.  today was awesome.  we enjoyed the crisp morning air, the best donuts at dahlia bakery and the vibe of the market on a friday of a holiday weekend.  we love this city.

during gavin's afternoon nap brooke and i walked to nordstrom rack to kill some time.  we came upon this boy playing bongos on the street and brooke broke into dance.  a really cute, rhythmic dance.  she broke out some moves!  plus she had had me put her hair up in lots of crazy ponytails, which i forgot to take out before leaving the hotel room so that just added to the whole scene.  it was priceless.

tonight we took the kids to their first seahawk football game.  we took a taxi there (always a hit with the kids) and participated in some Disney Radio contests along the way to the stadium.  i should say brooke participated.  she was awesome!  the game was an exhibition game, but you would have never known.  there was a big, loud crowd excited to cheer on the hawks.  we even ran into the staudes and the singhs at the game.  it was a 7:30 start though so by the end of the first quarter we were out of our seats and making our way out of the stadium.  the kids were done.  it was a great night, and i'm so excited for the rest of the weekend!
