Ride the Duck!!

Last Sunday we packed up for a fun day in the city with the Hovey's. The Hovey's are movin' on to their next adventure and have a "Washington Bucket List", so we thought we would join them on one of their final activities. We met them at Top Pot Donuts downtown and then headed out on the famous DUCKS of Seattle. We were a little nervous that it was going to rain on us, but we got lucky and the sun even made a quick appearance. They had blankets for us on the duck so we all (for the most part) kept warm. The girls all seemed to really have fun and Chase was even entertained the entire 90 minute ride. After our trip, we headed over to the center house for lunch.. although I think everyone agreed that we could forget that lunch. It was a fun day with our dear friends. We are going to miss them immensely while they are gone, but will look forward to trips to Monterey, CA, and Virginia to visit!

YUMMM!!

All of us ready to RIDE THE DUCKS!



The captain of the Duck let us know that sometimes the quacker fairy comes to people's houses if kids put their quacker under their pillow. When Regen heard this, she got VERY excited because that meant more money (she is saving her $$ for a DS). After we got home she was all ready to put her quacker under her pillow, but then I mentioned that the quacker fairy TAKES the quacker away. She apparently did not understand that part because so far, she does NOT want the quacker fairy to come... dang.
