May Day: Over the hills & through the woods to Grandpa & Grandma may's we went!

This past week the entire extended Don May family, a whole whopping 13 of us, flew out to Seattle Washington last week to spend a wonderful vacation with Grandpa Ed & Grandma Elly!

Where oh where do I begin? I guess I should start with the flight to Seattle....lets just say there was

a lot of screaming coming from row 20 & the little culprit was little Ms. Ellie May herself .

But thankfully she had her Nana who held her in the back of the plane until she passed out.

Lading, my oh my how I hate landing. My eyes hurt so bad they feel like they are going to bulge straight out of my face! I could only imagine how bad it felt for little Ellie.

My oh my was lake Sammammish BEAUTIFUL! Grandpa & Grandma May have a darling house right on the lake with the most spectacular view!

We did a tun of activities like:

Kayaking

Swimming

Alex took a nap on a giant anchored floaty raft & I joined latter

Watched the new Penguin movie with Jim Carey & Shrek the 4th

Read on the dock

Fishing!

Went down to Pikes Market & shopped! ( Home of Starbucks!)

Played ultimate frisbee

Tennis

went to the park a bunch with the kiddos

Some game with metal balls that you throw?

Ladder golf - Derek & aunt Kathy kicked the family's butts!

Went to the Aauarium

Even visited the troll under the bridge!

We attempted to mountain bike - but not ONE shop had enough bikes for us all

Our family was accidentally in a parade

& we saw some gnarly fireworks!

The entire time we were in Washington we feasted like kings! Every night we ate something different!

We had tostadas, pita pizzas, turkey burgers, tacos & a kick ass salad, salmon & burgers, lasagna & Shelby's Rolo cookies! & we even ate at the crab pot (if you ever visit Pikes market - STOP THERE AND EAT its worth it!)

Now what you all have been waiting for..... THE PICTURES!
