A trip to Bainbridge Island

About 7 months ago one of the moms from my & Addie's  PEPS group had twin boys and
moved to Bainbridge Island (these 2 big life changes happened right about the same time).
We had been wanting to see her, her daughter Elsa and the twins for quite a while. We finally scheduled it and made it happen. This was a very fun adventure for Addie because it involved not only riding a ferry but also carpooling with a friend. I decided it would work best to leave Etta at home with Matt so we did not need to be constrained by her nap schedule. So we got to carpool with Addie's PEPS friend Beckett, his mom Brennan & her little baby Delaney. Addie got to sit in a big-girl booster in the backseat of their car between Beckett & Delaney, and she loved the carpooling experience!

No gathering of toddlers is complete without multiple snack-times!
 Beckett's little sister Delaney was quite a content little sweetheart
as she got taken out of the car, put back in the car, brought upstairs, then back downstairs, etc.
Basically she was at the whims of her older sibling's schedule and interests, 
which is the way it is with basically every second child until they are old enough to truly protest :)
 Here is Elsa's little brother Olin.
 And his twin brother Henry. (Isn't it great how different they look!)
Not the most flattering picture of Henry, but the only one I took.
He truly is a cutie in person.
 Elsa was practicing her camera skills and Addie was a willing model.
 They are all in the same picture, but not exactly looking at the camera :)
 Next time we will have to get picture of Addie & Beckett out on the ferry deck. 
They were not thrilled about this location right by all the cars but we were about to get in our car 
and realized we had no picture of them and the water.

A little bit sleepy while eating their snack on the ferry ride home.

Did I mention that Addie loved carpooling with Beckett? She loved it! She wants to do it again.
She said specifically that she wants to go on the ferry and visit Elsa,
but I think a trip just about anywhere is more fun when it is shared with friends!
