Happy Mother's Day!


My 3rd Mommy's Day was a great one.  It was a train day for us!  


Gabbi and I rode the Light Rail from SeaTac to SODO to meet up with our friends Karen and Parker.  She was heart broken when we had to get off the train.  But once we saw lightning bolts on the sidewalk all was forgiven.  Lightning McQueen is everywhere!


Once we found our friends we took a quick trip to Snoqualmie, WA.  We were able to enjoy a great drive that led to an awesome and relaxing activity.  Did you know that the NW Railway Museum offers train rides?  I didn't.  Did you know that on Mother's Day and Father's Day they offer free rides for the moms and dads when you buy a kiddo ticket?  I didn't.  Luckily, Karen heard this and we took advantage of it.  

We grabbed the train and it took us up to the Snoqualmie Falls.  We weren't able to get out, because frankly there is not place to get out.  The whole train ride took about an hour so it was perfect for the two little ones.  Once we got back to the depot we had a picnic and running around time. Gabbi and I had great company, perfect weather, and the best time!  I have lived in Washington my whole life and I have never seen the falls.  It was pretty cool.  We will certainly be making another trip soon.  


    

If your kiddo is into trains you need to take the trip to Snoqualmie for this little adventure.  You can fit the adventure in between a nap or meal.  Snoqualmie and North Bend are great little places to explore.

Today was great, but not just today.  Every moment with Gabbi is fantastic, even when she is being Miss Independent Three Year Old.  I love our adventures.  This weekend was full of them. 

Friday was gorgeous and we decided to take a break and take a quick trip to the beach.  Gabbi loves the beach and you basically have to drag her away.  She is like her dad and can easily get lost in exploring.  I love it when she wants to show me everything, and I mean everything, she comes across.  Later in the evening we celebrated Mother's Day early by inviting Nana over for a very yummy dinner. 


Saturday was full of more fun.  It always is fun when the day starts off with Little Gym.  She looks forward to Little Gym each and every week.  I don't know what we will do when she gets too old for it.  After LG we had a chance to relax before we headed to Grandma Tammy and Grandpa Don's to have them meet Gabbi and to hang out with Sierra and Kaley (and the cutest little baby, Aaliyah).



It was the best Mother's Day/Weekend.  I got to spend the whole time with Gabbi, spend time with my family and my friends.  It was perfect!
