Last week,
Maci & I went to Tacoma, WA to visit one of my best friends, Rachel! We were suppose to be there Thursday, however we had some plane problems so we didn't end up on a flight until Friday morning. Let me tell you,
Maci was NOT please at all to wait at the airport for hours just to turn around and go back home! She was ticked all the way home that she didn't get to ride a plane! The next morning we caught a flight out!
Maci on the plane ride! She was excited to go up in the air and was such a good girl! I don't think she cried once and she sang to all the other passengers at least once during every flight (I'm sure every one loved that haha):

While at Rachel's house we colored and carved pumpkins! Maci love doing this, but to be honest she loves anything that can get messy! She wasn't really sure about helping to clean out the insides at first, but then she dug right in!
Coloring away (actually she was busy making sure Jamie, Rachel's brother and the new love of Maci's life, was watching her every move! The poor guy couldn't do anything without Maci the whole time we were there!)

She was really serious about the pumpkin coloring business!
She was really proud of all her creations! Rachel's mantel looks nice and festive now!
Jamie made a cat pumpkin. Maci loved it!
We went to Seattle for the day and had dinner at Benihana's. Maci loved the hat they gave her and loved watching the cook! She even tried chop sticks and did pretty good for a 2 year old! When the cook threw a shrimp tail on her plate, she tried to eat it!
Another serious picture! She was ready to eat!

Also while in Seattle, we went to the best aquarium I have ever been to. They had so many neat things!
Rachel, Jamie & Maci checking out the seals
They had a place set up where you could touch all kinds of little sea animals. Maci had to touch everything! In this picture what ever she touched scared her a little!

We went to the Tacoma Zoo also.
Maci LOVES all animals so we had a great time there too!

On the carousel in the zoo (which almost made me sick but hey my kid loved it!)
I think I was hanging on to her more than holding her up!
We had such a good time visiting Rachel and can't wait to come back. Next time will be in the summer though! Thanks Rachel for having us and doing all the tourist stuff with us - we really enjoyed it!
Maci still cries for you when she's in trouble (I don't think that has anything to do with you giving her whatever she wanted but...) She talks about you and her boyfriend Jamie daily and can't wait to see you guys at Christmas! Also thanks for mailing all the clothes that
Maci bought back to her, she was pretty out of control with her shopping so I really appreciate you sending it all to her! She has a shopping problem (-:
