Scenes of Seattle

I thought I would post some of the fun things we saw this time when we visited Seattle. Of course, these are the kids' favorite things to see...and they just can't seem to get enough of them. But it was fun this time because Shane was there with us. Unfortunately, he just can't make every trip to Seattle that we do, but the girls really had fun showing him the aquarium and the ferry ride (which I'm bummed I didn't have my camera for!) So here are a few snapshots from our trip!



Pike's Place Market...the day we went it was crazy busy. Body to Body! But we got some really yummy things to eat! Doughnuts, bread, HUGE crab legs, pepper jelly, & curry pasta!

Home of the famous "flying fish." We watched for awhile so the girls could see them tossing the fish back and forth.

If seafood is your thing, then Seattle's the place to be!

Miki and Cody in front of the market.

The fresh fruits and veggies are so colorful and beautiful. Most of the vendors have varieties that you'll never see in any grocery store.



Mel and Brinley hanging out on the hog.

They have THE most beautiful flowers at the market. My favorite is to go when lilacs are in season. You wouldn't believe the smell in the air and the gorgeous boquets of lilacs are incredible!

Of course we had to make our usual trip over to Ivar's for some fish and chips with Dad.

Then over to the aquarium for some exploration! This sea anenome is one of the biggest I've seen.

The starfish in the "touch and feel" tank. The kids get to feel all the sea creatures in this tank.

The kids were excited to see "Dori" from Finding Nemo!

The green anenomes are so brilliant. There is one area where they are all green. It's my fav.

The girls hanging on the fin of the killer whale! :)


These are sea otters like we saw on our last trip to Seattle swimming in the water near Ivar's!

Brin bonding with Uncle Dave. What a fun trip. It's fun to re-live it through the pictures! Until next time!
