{Great Grandparents - McQuays}

After Leavenworth we headed over to Seattle. The husband's grandparents [dad's side] lives there. We were able to stay with them for 2 days and it was such a blast! It was so fun to visit with them, watch them play with Evette and spend some good old quality time with them.

Evette absolutely loved them both, or all three if them if we count Choco, their little dog. 

Taking a nap with Grandpa! This picture cracks me up....

{Leavenworth Hike}

While in Leavenworth we took a little hike through the mountains with the Baby. She did wonderfully for the most part. She got a little tired at the end, but so was I :) She loved looking at all the tall trees and playing with the leaves, rocks, and sticks.

Read to go!

Daddy whistling with grass! Look at that face of amazement!

Sometimes I let my baby chew on a rock.

And here she is playing with a stick

Checking out this tree...

It was a little long for the little one... tired her right out!

{Leavenworth}

On Monday night we arrived in Leavenworth. The husband has a soft spot for Leavenworth, WA as his grandparents lived in a cabin up there for many years. He spent a good number of summers there and has always said how "magical" the place is. Well, I'd have to agree with him.

We stayed in a little guest room above the garage of one of grandparent's friend's house. It was beautiful and lovely.

They also had a dog that Evette loved.

The next day we went and explored the cute little town. 

Went in all the novelty shops like the hat shop:

We had a grand ol' time shopping around and eating delicious food.

We also took the time to go visit the grandparent's cabin. Apparently the people now owning it use it as a summer home because they weren't there. We then took the liberty of walking around the house and peeking in the windows so the husband could tell me stories about his childhood. It was lovely and I wish I could have spent time with the family there back in the day.

{Pothole Lake}

Another stop we made was at a pothole lake in the middle of somewhere. Baby Girl liked to play in the water and cool off. Our first 2 days were pretty much straight driving so these little stops were glorious.

{Craters of the Moon}

 On Sunday the 22 we started out to our travels to the northwest. We decided to go the scenic way through Idaho even though it would add a couple of hours to our trip. Our first little pit stop was at Craters of the Moon. It was crazy looking and a good little stretch for Baby Girl.

We decided to go on a little walk with Evette. She didn't like the little hiking backpack - bummer. We just ended up carrying her. 

She also liked to wear my red hat. 

Good little stop for the little family.
