SEATTLE {summer of 2015}

for summer vacay this year we went to seattle to visit babi and dziadek.  we had not been back to seattle since joshua was 3 --- i think:))  this was our 1st plane ride as a family of 5...i was kind of nervous!!!


we left for the airport EARLY one morning and there was so much excitement in the air!!!





a view of the cockpit!


this sweet little chickie made me the most nervous.  i had suckers, chocolate kisses, and every gadget imaginable!  she did great for the 4 hour flight!




ice!!  she loved the ice!!


the passenger beside joshua and i let him move over to the window seat.  josh took these beautiful pics of mount rainier.  


so happy to see babi -- and be on the ground in seattle washington!!!
