We couldn't possibly visit the Seattle/Tacoma area without going to the Pike's Place Market. The flowers absolutely command my attention, I can't even describe how much I enjoy seeing them. We also picked up a few speciality items and some really special princess crowns for Claire and Chloe while there. You will see them below. 
On our way back to California we traveled to the Oregon coast, an area that we always enjoy so much. This stop was at a viewpoint somewhere north of Lincoln City, Oregon.
A great memory making day. Congratulations Haley and Arron!

Here you can see Chloe with her princess crown with flowers and streamers and lots of foo-foo stuff. The girls loved them. Since they were in practice mode for the upcoming wedding that they were to be flower girls in, they used their princess crowns for practice. Mommy and Daddy worked hard to prepare them for the special event.
Uncle Jon stopped by and Claire convinced him to read her a story. I love it that they love books so much.
Somehow Papa ended up with the princess crown....I think it is quite becoming!
Saturday finally came, and the wedding of Haley and Arron that we had been talking up and practicing for, for some time, was here. Claire and Chloe did very well for 2 year olds, I was amazed. Claire finished the walk up the isle while Chloe made it halfway.Chloe didn't let down on her job however, she just froze in place and dropped her petals. Who knew all those people would be there? She smiled the whole time but seemed a bit mesmerized at all the people looking at her. Daddy eventually rescued her and she was happy as a clam. Papa and I didn't sit on the aisle...the best picture taking spot.. because we didn't want to distract them in any way. A friend did get a few shots that you can see below.

Claire keeps going....
Chloe stops for a look around.....
The wedding was beautiful and the party afterward was a great celebration. It was geared to family activities and fun for the children. Hula-hoops, bubbles, hammocks, balls, volleyball and almost anything you can think of was available for play time. Everyone had such a great time! Claire is showing off her flower girl gifts as she strolls.
Darling cupcakes were made by the bride. They were tasty as well.
Claire enjoying her cupcake. 
Time to head home, Chloe with Daddy, after playing in the water faucet.
