Happy Father's Day

Don't feed the animal...

Seattle

I am a little late on this post but hey... better late than never. A few weeks ago, David and I were part of a master Doug Perry plan to surprise his wife and one of my closest friends, Andrea, for her 30th Birthday. Along with a few other of her close girlfriends, we all showed up in Seattle on Friday and declared their gorgeous new house Camp Perry for the weekend. So glad she was happy to see us despite having a sick child and having to run a hostel the weekend of her birthday :). It was a wonderful and much needed weekend of being with the girls and despite the Seattle climate... we did manage to try and get a little "Crazy in Abu Dhabi." hehe.

This is a shot of the infamous birthday cake. Lesson learned: Don't let wine-soaked girls bake a cake and then ice it hot. Best quote of the night: "Why is there a hole in the cake? And what's wrong with the icing?" -Ben Maslan.

Doug went all out when he surprised Andrea with a surprise birthday party Saturday with local friends and her parents. The party was catered by a local pizza company and it was absolutely delicious... Seriously, I still crave it.

This picture of Andrea's nephew makes me laugh. Why not eat pizza without your shirt on I say :).

Melanie boxing out Olivia... poor girl's motor functions are sub par and couldn't defend herself.

The new Perry fire pit David and I loved and repeatedly threatened to steal.

Love-love these girls.

Amy and the infamous cake. Probably should have taken a picture of the many empty wine bottles the next day to really prove a point.

Pike Place and the ginormous cookies (there are two more in the bag) that we immediately consumed.
