"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow, what a ride!'"

Seattle Trip

I had an engagement session in Seattle, so we turned it into a family vacation! The girls were amazingly good through the session. For 4 hours they played and ate and ran around downtown Seattle with Adam, while I photographed my clients. After the session we all went to a late lunch together. After that, we PLAYED!!!!!!! There is so much to do at the Seattle Center. The girls rode on the rides in the kids area, danced to the outdoor music and ate lots of junk food! It was a fabulous day!




Tradition is, that you run in and touch the dome when the water turns off. You never know when it will turn back on again, though, so you'd better be quick. The girls really wanted to touch it, but were also very nervous about it. I love it that they trust their daddy so much. Can you tell that Kate was the more hesitant one about this adventure? :)

















Run away!!!!!

Way to go team Blue!



Inside here is all sorts of fun....and food!



Haylee started with the cotton candy....






...and then went straight on to the caramel corn. :) Bottomless pit--that's my girl!



After some snacks, they danced...






...and danced....








...and then broke into some break dancing....













They were only willing to let me take a couple of posed pictures--which is fine with me. I'm happy with whatever I can get depending on their moods. :)





At the very end of the day we went on what we now call "the quacker ride." It's a tour of downtown Seattle, including a land and water tour. Very fun! The girls liked the souvenir quackers the best.







Here are just a few pictures from the carnival style rides for the kids and families.














It was a fabulous day!

That is one of my favorite cities. My family lived just south of Seattle for 10 years. Did you go to Pike Place or on a ferry? The junk food looks good!!
