Mike's parents arrived in Seattle on Friday afternoon. They stayed at a small B&B in Ballard. Steve, Mike and I went over to check out their place in the evening where we received gifts - cheese, chocolates, and a bridesmaid dress! We then went to the Hi-Life for dinner.
SATURDAY
Mike got up early to skate the Ballard bowl. Nollie and I walked down to meet him and Steve before we all went to Cafe Besalu to meet his parents.

At Cafe Besalu we all had coffee and pastries. Yum! Even Nollie got to enjoy some dog treats at the cafe.

Next, we went to the dog park at Golden Gardens where Nollie acted like her usual lame self and didn't play with any of the other dogs.
The big outing of the day was to Mt. Rainier. We drove up to Paradise where there was still a HUGE amount of snow on the ground. Then we drove down the mountain a little way to do some hiking. We thought we drove far enough to get away from the snow, but the farther (and higher) we hiked the more snow we ran into.

After a very busy day we all went back to our house for pizza, Yahtzee, and Office Space.
SUNDAY
First, we walked to St. Alphonsus for Mother's Day mass. After mass we went for breakfast at Mae's Phinney Ridge Cafe. Later that night we had a Mother's Day BBQ at Steve's house. Nels, Topher, and Claire were there too.
MONDAY
Mike's parents flew back to Wisconsin this afternoon. We hope they had a good time visiting!
