Spring break at Pike Place Market

Seattle vacation for spring break

And we actually got spring weather so all those nancy negatives that asked why in the world we went to Seattle can just pipe down. 55 and sunny all week with great lake views and a wonderful visit with Jean and Russ. We flew in last Saturday and picked Christopher up on Sunday. We had a great time going to Seattle City Center, the Science Fiction Museum and to Pike Place Market. We went down to the lake a few times and the boys went golfing, bowling and to see how video games are made. Ethan was a total trouper on the plane and everyone could not stop commenting on what a good baby he was. I think the best part was that Ethan learned to crawl this week as he tried to constantly take Christopher's video games from him. He was really motoring all over the house by the time we left.

Here is Aunt Jean giving Ethan a bath


Jean and Russ had this amazing view from their house and a private lake front playground and beach we were able to use.

The kids and I at the Seattle City Center where we watched a magic show and rode go carts. Ethan watched.


Stay tuned for tomorrow as we move on to the adventures of Martini. We are picking up our newly adopted dog and hope to integrate him into our family of kids, cat, horse etc. We are starting to collect animal farm but Jeff has drawn the line at Llamas and goats. Sigh. :-)
