July 4th in Seattle

Sean, Owen, and I went to Seattle for July 4th. We stayed with our friends Chris, Tammy, and Marley. Uncle Andrew was there too. Here is a cute picture of Owen and "The Godfather":



Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures with Chris and Tammy and Marley so you'll just have to take our word for it that we had a GREAT time. Thank you Laws family for letting us stay with you!!!

Other than seeing the Lawses, the reason for our short visit (we left Thursday, came back on Saturday) was POTLATCH, a 3-day annual ultimate frisbee tournament. Sean was excited to be on the fields with his old team (even if he only got to play for 1 day).

As per tradition, "Time Warped" (aka Warped Disk) was decked out in hawaiian attire:


Even Owen dressed up in case he was needed as a sub or just to show his team spirit on the side-lines with me...


And to make sure he was ready to jump if needed, we bought Owen his first disc and showed his some moves:

Of course, he preferred to chew on the disc rather than throw it, but it's a start! All that chomping on the disc and watching daddy run made Owen quite sleepy and he enjoyed a nice nap in the snuggly at the fields. It was a beautiful Seattle day!


It was a short trip but quite fun. Owen is so much more aware of his surroundings and seems to love exploring new places. He had a great time waiting for our flight home. He got to watch our plane taxi to the gate from his perch on Sean's shoulders:


And, since our flight was empty (for a nice change) Owen got his own seat, which he LOVED (and it gave mommy and daddy a nice break since we didn't have to hold him when he fell asleep soon after take-off)...


It was a fun trip and we hope that we get to see our Seattle friends again soon! Next time, we promise to stay longer so that we can see everybody (sorry we missed you this time, Fireball!) and so that we can take Owen canoeing on Lake Washington, hiking up Mt. Rainier, and to Aqua Verde for fish tacos!
