Another Day, Another Million Smiles

Today was one of those days that make people move to the Seattle area. Amazing weather, amazing views, and best yet... amazing people to spend time with.

We started the day by having a family walk to St. Michael's Church in Olympia for the 7:30am mass. Jarem slept through most of mass, but still managed to collect compliments as if he were passing around a basket. It was a beautiful service at a beautiful church.

My mom decided a few weeks ago to throw a "Bailey Family Grandchild" event which turned into a picnic with 30 guests. We had SUCH a blast it was insane. We arrived at the park at noon and didn't wind up leaving until 9:00pm (when the sun was just starting to go down).

I would normally insert some silly anecdote or nonsensical joke, but today was literally so beautiful that there is no way to describe it. Enjoy the photos...

Eric and Jamie,
You two presented a great representation of the best of your stay here. Thanks for allowing me to relive it through your pictures and words. I love you so much. Mom/Rose

Thanks Mom,

We had a blast. And it's sort of a dirty trick having us come up in the middle of summer. When we take off from Phoenix it's 110, when we land in Seattle it's 80. hmmm. Beautiful water-front views, Mt. Ranier, PLUS sunshine until 9PM!

Jamie and I caught ourselves BOTH thinking... hmmm, we can make it work living here.

We had a blast!
