Seattle Weekend

The wedding is less than three weeks away! Excitement is building every day. It seems like there is something to do every day now. I think I am getting as excited for the happy couple as they are. Holly's sisters, Caitlin and Jill, and one of her jump rope friends, Mary gave her a Bridal shower last weekend. Shannon and I were happy to be invited.

At about 7:15 Saturday morning, Scott, Shannon and I packed up the car and headed to Seattle. It was a beautiful day! Sunny and mid 80's. We were even able to see Mt. Ranier on the way over. It's not often that you get such a clear picture of it. Beautiful!

When we got to Holly's, we jumped in her mom's car and went to see Freed Farm. This is where the wedding and reception are going to take place. It was so pretty there. As soon as we pulled up, the man who owned the property called to tell us that everything would be mowed before the wedding. Although, Holly thought the wildflowers were kind of pretty.

Here is a little "sneak preview" of the bride and groom on the big day.....

Scott even made her a bouquet out of them. So thoughtful!
This is the backdrop for the reception. It will be a night time wedding. There will be lots of lights, tables, and music. It will be so pretty.

Now, this is a Seattle wedding...please pray for dry weather! There is a plan B for rain but we really want to use plan A!

Next, we took a little tour of where the rehearsal dinner will be held. That was a huge relief to me! It's a little hard to plan things without really seeing it but I trust the Diffees and they were right. It will work perfectly!

Saturday night, the kids and I went to the Mariners game! I get to a game every few years. I really need to try to make this an annual occurrence. I love that stadium and it is so much fun. Especially when they win!

Doesn't Shannon make the field look great?

Some more of my favorite Mariner fans....
The Mariners take the field.....
Everyone loves Moose!Of course, we were very excited to see Ken Griffey, Jr. in person... I wonder if he was as excited as we were.....
I think these are some of the hardest working people in the stadium. Sometimes they have a little dance routine they do but we didn't get to see it this time.
Want a little ketchup with those fries? :)

We had so much fun at the game. Perfect weather, perfect company and we won!! Saturday was a great day and we were ready to head to the hotel and get a good night's sleep to be ready for the main event of the weekend...Holly's shower!
