Tacoma Day trip!

Before we had a chance to breath from returning from our rafting trip, Max had to go back to work on Monday and I decided to jump in the car with my kids, drive up to Tacoma and help surprise Grace for her 4th Birthday Surpris party. We hadn't made our way up to Tacoma in a long time and we had never been their for Grace's birthday so we really wanted to make it happen. The boys did great in the car. We made it in time to be there before Grace showed up with her dad so it was perfect. The surprise party was at Pump it up. A big bouncy house indoor playground! My boys were excited (Note: all photos of from Elizabeth) 

Grace peeked under her blindfold and she got a really loud surprise when she walked in

And then she got tackled...mostly by Charlie who is all about wrestling these days!

My boys loved it! And we had the whole rooms to ourselves.

The party-ers

After a bunch of bouncing madness we made our way into the party room where Grace got to sit on her thrown. We ate pizza and cake and she opened her presents and went to hug everyone to thank them.

Afterward, the guests went home but we followed James and Elizabeth back to their house to have some more cousin time. It was so fun to just relax and watch our kids play and check out the bee hives and vegetable garden and the shed that James built. We also played in the yard. We stayed until dinnertime and then had a wonderful living room dance party and then loaded up in the car and went home. The drive back was pretty uneventful and we were happy to be home and start getting back into somewhat of a routine. We were very happy to celebrate with Grace, she is really such a sweet girl and we are so lucky that are cousins are really only 2 hours and 14 minutes away!
