A day with Opa and Lou

It’s been over two years since my father (“Opa”) has been to our house.  So when he mentioned that he and Lou could perhaps stop by Seattle on their way home from a trip to Alaska, we jumped at the chance to see him!

This one-day stop-over has been on our calendar since last April, which assured that all four kids and their SOs could be here. 

Not many words are required to communicate what a great day it was!  EVERYONE was together!

Look at this great couple.  Would you believe that they’re in their 80’s?!

Opa hadn’t met any of the SOs before.  So this was his chance to meet “Kat’s Josh…”

And to spend some time with Aleks – who had lots of conversation with Opa… none of which I photographed.  But I did capture this great shot of Aleks!

We even got some group shots.  I love this one of the four kids.  This is Peter saying, “Yeah, my sibs ROCK!”

It was such an amazing day with the one thing in life that truly, truly matters – family!  Thanks Dad/Opa!
