Max and Asher meet: Poulsbo, Part 1

We are finally taking the time to post about our wonderful trip to Poulsbo, WA to visit family and friends.  It has been almost 2 years since we last visited Washington State and we are so glad that we finally made it back.

Our first night we landed so late that we decided to get a hotel by the airport and have Asher sleep in the bed with us. Boy, did he think he had hit the lottery. He ended up sleeping most of the night where his head was next to his Daddy's head and his feet where next to his Mommy's head.  Needless to say, I didn't sleep all that well because I was constantly being kicked by my energetic 7 month old.



Asher had no problem getting used to the time change! Here he is in the hotel bed.

After leaving the hotel we headed to Poulsbo, but before we even drove up to the house, we had to stop at our favorite bakery on Earth in Old Town Silverdale. One of only a handful of bakeries that we know of that make their own bread.  We all sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine, which we were told had only hit the region the week we were there.

Later that day, Asher had the chance to meet his first cousin for the FIRST time.  Max and Asher provided us endless amounts of entertainment .  We were very surprised at Max's reaction to Asher.  He was a little jealous of the attention his mommy and daddy were giving Asher and sure let us know of his disapproval.

Uh-Oh, Max spots his mommy holding Asher

Max decides that there is too much cuddling going and makes his way in.

Before we know what is going on he starts to push Asher out of the way.



Ahh... success, Asher is out of the way and Max is happy once again.

After all that commotion we decide to put Asher with his Bubbie. However, that didn't work out well either because little Max decided that he wanted Asher's ball.

The ball that started it all.

 Max taking away Asher's ball.  Asher letting out a little whimper although it looks like a smile.



No ball in site, but lots of cuddles with Bubbie makes things all better.

Within seconds of grabbing the ball, Max promptly hid it in his backpack and shut the door behind him. Maybe next year, Asher and Max will play together, this trip it wasn't happening. 
More photos below of our time together.  It was so much fun staying up to play board games and drink wine. We definitely wish we lived closer.

Look at the silly face Uncle Nate is giving Asher.

Finally, a picture with Asher's Daddy.

Just before the Diamond's head out, Asher and Max start to play together.

Last minute cuddles with Uncle Nate.

Until next time...
