Wonderful Weekend: Father's Day

We just got home from a really rainy fun weekend in Seattle!  We drove up early on Friday morning to spend time with our families and attend the Washington Brewer's Festival at St. Edward's State Park.  We go every year for this Father's Day beer festival, but this was Kyle's first year as a Dad so it was extra rainy fun! 

Friday...

We got to Seattle and G was immediatley swept up by Grandma.  We spent Friday relaxing with Kyle's family.


Saturday...

We got up early on Saturday morning and did a bit of cuddling before getting our day started.

Cuddling with me...

 

with Daddy...

 

and Grandma!

 

Kyle and I decided to get really "Seattle-like" and head to Pike Place Market for coffee and doughnuts even though it was cold and rainy.


It was a seriously bad idea.  Poor Baby G missed her nap, was hungry and tired and cold and traffic SUCKED!


Lovely June weather.  (Shot from the back seat where I was soothing the babe.)


 

We went to grab a quick lunch while Gigi was sleeping.  

 

Then we headed to the beer festival so Kyle could participate in the keg toss.  Silly brewers. (He lost.)

 

With Kristen who works at the brewery.


We went to meet up with our friends, Jeremy and Tara, for dinner and a sleepover.

If you haven't eaten at Serious Pie you should!

 The serve up amazing gourmet pizzas.  I think it may be the best pizza I've ever had... seriously.


Tara stayed home with G and we (Lindsey, Ben, Jeremy, Kyle and I) walked down the block to grab a pint.

 

When we got home from the bar, Gigi was awake (thanks to a big wet kiss from J&T's dog, Kingston.)  We got her back to sleep after I read her this verse I wrote (inspired by Go the F to Sleep)...

I'm sorry our friend's dog woke you

While you dreamed and slumbered so deep

But Mommy is home from the bar now

So please go the F back to sleep.

 

We definitely got an F grade as parents for Saturday!

 

Sunday...

By the time Sunday morning rolled around we were ready to redeem ourselves (especially since it was Father's Day)!

Kyle is SUCH an amazing Dad.  When I see him with G it makes me feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

 

As you can tell G feels pretty lucky too.


It seems like this...

 

 

was just moments ago!

 

Makin' Father's Day breakfast.

 

Tara and her lap dog Kingston (the baby-waker).  He was totally obsessed with Gigi!  

 

Playing with Uncle J.

 

We packed up our bag and headed to lunch with Nana...


 and Mike.


After lunch we geared up to head to the beer festival.  

 

G had a good time hanging out with all of our friends.

With Ben and Lindsey.

 

Maybe a little too much fun... she's her father's daughter!

 

With Jeremy and Tara.

 

Helping Dad serve.

 

Then we headed home to spend Father's Day evening with Dave and Erika.

Happy Father's Day to two fabulous Dads.


 Monday...

We loaded up first thing and headed home.  This was G's reaction upon arrival.

As you can see we are happy to be home after such a rainy fun weekend in Seattle!


I also wanted to take a moment to wish my own Daddy a very happy Father's Day.  He's an awesome Dad (and Grandpa)!
