Not So Rainy in Seattle

     Last week I was able to go to Seattle, Washington to go to my Mom's cousin's wedding! It was a blast! The weather was supposed to be 50% chance of rain, but sadly it only sprinkled a few times and it rained hard(ish) when we were driving around. I was disappointed. But, besides that it was great!
We were there for four days and one quick morning. We drove the thirteen hour drive and was able to see beautiful sights! We had a great time being together and we got lots of rest!
Some trees that we saw on our drive up to seattle!
 They were all grown in strait lines because they
were apart of a tree farm.

     My mom's uncle and aunt live out on the Puget Sound so that it where we got to stay! They are amazing people that I have gotten to know and love! We had such a fun time helping out and learning more about my (mom's) cousin's husband. They are great people and I wish them the best!

     While I was there I got to help put some of the flower bouquets together! I have always wondered what it was like to be a floralist and I got a little bit of a preview last weekend! When we started I was very overwhelmed. We had roses, purple flowers, green button like flowers(please forgive me for my lack of knowledge as of what the flowers names are!), some more white flowers and lot's of other stuff! In the end they all looked very beautiful!
Some of our bouquets!
     While we were up there we went to Pikes Place! For those of you who don't know Pike's Place is a super fun market where people set up booths and sell all different kinds of nick-nacks. We saw belt buckles, giant gummy bears made out of little gummy bears, dead smelly fish with their eyes still on the fish(EW!), lot's of other cool stuff, and we even saw a bronze lady. She was human but she acted like a robot! It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! She moved in the coolest way!

     I had a great time up in Washington with lot's of family! Remember that sometimes, it doesn't rain hard in Seattle. See ya next time!
