Grandparents and Rosyln, WA

PopPop and Nana made it to Seattle! They were stuck at the airport in San Francisco last night due to United Airlines' computers all going down. ALL of them. Nation-wide. Yike! But, this morning, first thing after we woke up, they called and said they were just 10 minutes from our house. Unfortunately, their luggage didn't make it.

The plan was that we would all head out to Roslyn and stay in a cabin for the weekend. Without knowing when their luggage would arrive, we weren't sure if we should still make the trip. After some consideration and a phone call to our neighbors, we decided not to wait for the luggage and head out. PopPop and Nana borrowed some of our clothes, Tasha said she'd pull the bags in when they arrive, and so we were set.

Techinically, we're staying in Ronald, WA, but it's right next to Roslyn. The cabin is great! It's pretty new and spacious. The boys are going to share a big bed. We brought Vincent's old bed rail to keep Tyler from falling off one side, and he'll have Vincent on the other side. The community we're staying in has a playground and a recreation center. We didn't use the rec center, but had a fun time in the playground. Vincent loves to play a game he calls "Police Chase." He and Nana were the police and David and PopPop were the robbers. The police chase the robbers, catch them and put them in jail. Then, the robbers have a jail break. Tyler and I did our own things, but once in a while Tyler would join in. Since he's still limping a bit, and the slides were super fast, my job was to make sure he was safe. No police chase for me.

We had dinner at the pizza place in Roslyn, which was quite yummy. Ooh, and there's an old mining train parked in Roslyn! That was a special treat for the boys, especially Tyler.

Putting the kids to bed was a little challenging, as we expected. They were so excited to share a bed. And, just when we thought they'd finally sleep, someone outside started rockin' out with a guitar and singing.
