Highly anticipated visitor

Ragen had been anticipating today for a long time...Uncle Mark arrived from LA. Ragen had the list of things he wanted to do all ready. First and foremost, he wanted to go straight to the candy store (I think because he remembers that when we surprised Mark in LA last year for his 30th birthday, they went to the candy store and Uncle Mark spoiled him like crazy). Tomorrow he plans on having Uncle Mark take him out to the raft at the Seattle Tennis Club to go down the slide. Um, I don't think so!!!

After Mark arrived today, Ragen quickly started recapping our trip to Whidbey last weekend. Mid-sentence, Ragen said "hold on, I'll be right back." He came back in wearing a new outfit - one that matched Uncle Mark's exactly - camo shorts & a navy t-shirt. It was so cute!

Tonight we had a casual family dinner at Zeek's in Kirkland. It's such a great spot for kids because they can sit there watching the pizzas being made while playing with their own personal pizza dough. After dinner we walked down to the waterfront where one of the Kirkland concerts happened to be going on. It was a gorgeous evening and fun to be in the action. Ragen managed to get himself wet up to his tush so of course Maggie had to follow suit. My mom, the ultimate Mama Bear, is thrilled to have her kids and family together. We all had a great time!
