What a busy day our family had today.

5:45-6:55 Sarah & Ben get ready for the day,pack, breakfast. Ben off to work.
6:55-8:00 Sarah continues to pack
8:00-9:00 Katie wakes up, gets ready for the day, has breakfast, and plays. Sarah continues to pack.
9:00-10:30 Sarah works. Katie plays.
10:30-11:15 Sarah finishes packing and loads the car. Katie plays and tries to help.
11:15 Sarah and Katie are out the door, heading downtown Seattle to Pike Place Market
12:15 Four beautiful bouquets of tulips purchased, Sarah and Katie head back to Ben's office.
12:30ish With the tulips stowed securely in truck, we hit the road for Spokane.

We hoped that by keeping Katie up all morning she would sleep for most of the trip. Nope. 1.5 hours into the trip she woke up and needed attention/food/cleanup the remaining 4 hours. We were definitely glad to get to our destination. Thankfully, we were just in time for dinner.

Mom and Dad made a lovely roast with cloves of garlic poked into it. Gotta love meat with garlic in it! On the side we had rolls, potatoes and carrots, and a beautiful fruit salad. The strawberries in the salad were a hit with Katie. She couldn't get enough:)

Matt, Jenna, Braelyn, and our friends, Charlene and Vera, joined us for the meal. How nice to spend the evening with our family!
