Black and White Weekly Challenge: Family

Published by

Last summer we decided to stay close to home and try a touristy “staycation” in the Seattle area instead of leaving town during the best part of the year. We filled our house with family and spent a great weekend exploring Seattle, The Pike Place Market, taking a Ride the Ducks Tour and having water balloon fights in the backyard.

My sister always has fun party ideas and last year she designed and printed matching t-shirts for the group. After breakfast the dads and cousins headed outside to practice their synchronized tourist point…

love the customised t-shirts!

We tried staying at home last summer so we could visit all the lovely gardens and castles etc. around us on ‘day trips’ saving on the cost of accommodation, only to have one of the wettest summers on record! We managed to visit ONE place!

  Oh no, only one place? At least you tried! The t-shirts turned out to be a lot of fun. :). I hope your summer is shaping up to be better this year!

    Yes, and yes! Everyone gets their own mini-fig and accompanying tee-shirts…but that’s all you get to know for now 😉

Matching shirts, how fun! A few times a month, I realized one of my kids and I happen to dress in similar colors. We always take a picture for fun.

  We think so. :). It is a great place to be for the summer. Mid 80’s, plenty of sunshine, lots of daylight and no bugs!
