Seattle

Last week for Mid-Winter Break, we went to Seattle with some friends. I don't drive in Seattle by myself! :) It scares me! I am directionally challenged! Anyway...we started off at Gas Works Park. The kids really enjoyed it there. We had lunch, and then took off to see Mr. Troll. That was interesting! The kids loved climbing on him. The picture of the kids is taken with his hand. Do you like Cammie's pose? That kind of made me laugh. Then we went to the locks to see a few boats go through. The kids really enjoyed themselves and so did I!

I asked Cammie about our day together, and she said, "We went to the machine PARTS not PARK! It isn't a park! We run down the hill, we run up the hill. Is that mean? I was like 'Mom! We're leaving you!' Then we went to the fake monster place. I been on his hand, his arm...um, the monster, he's just fake so he can't drop us."

There you go! That was our trip to Seattle!

Here is a link about the Gas Works Park: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasworks_Park I had never heard of this park before. I had no clue what to expect. It was a pretty weird place, but the kids enjoyed the artifical kite hill with the sundial. They also liked climbing on the stuff in the play barn. I got this from the website I just posted the link to:

A Web site affiliated with The Seattle Times newspaper says, "Gas Works Park is easily the strangest park in Seattle, and may rank among the strangest in the world."

Here is one more of the "play" area. http://www.vrseattle.com/pages/vrview_fs.php?vrs_id=vrs1075&ftype=flash Now you can see why Cammie said what she did about the machine PARTS not park. :) She kept asking where the park was, and we kept telling her that this was the park! Too funny.
