Home Sweet Home!

Mikey and I made the trip back home to the Harbor for Labor Day weekend and it's been so much fun already!

We flew into to Seattle late Wednesday night with a gorgeous view of Quest Field and the Space Needle. Mom and Doug were waiting right outside the terminal for us-- a long drive from Yelm, but it was great to see them!

Mom and I had a fun day shopping on Thursday while Mike went golfing with the boys. Things are pretty much how we remember them, except everything is a bit bigger and faster than I remember.

The Strouds hosted a traditional luau for us (minus the poi!) on Friday night. Great fun that ended in a dance party complete with props from the fridge. Who ever knew Rafter could dance with Costco-sized salsa like that?

Yesterday, Mom, Grammie and I cruised around Tacoma in "Big Blue" shopping, eating and getting our nails done. My mom is quite possibly the best driver in the world- horrible when it comes to parking between the lines (she prefers right ON the line). Love you!

Later we met up with some of the sweet girls from the Tides to enjoy a few glasses (or a bottle) of wine. With our pink cheeks, we continued onto Dad and Melissa's Salmon Bake. I haven't seen most of the people since I was little so I was getting a lot of those "I think that's Amber, but I'm not sure" looks. When Connor wasn't in the bounce house, I had a little shadow. He's grown a foot and I'm pretty sure I can almost wear his shoes!

Today we're off to Bumbershoot to see the Stone Temple Pilots--

Love & Aloha!
