Washington Part 2: Seattle

One day we all went to Seattle - first to lunch, then to REI, and then to Pike Place Market... it was a super fun day!
Sweet Luke hanging out at lunch

EmJ and Chloe in a tent at REI

There's a huge rock wall in REI - so fun!
Here's Ireland showing off her climbing skills...


Look how high she got! What a brave girl!



You know I climbed...



...and you know that's me way at the top! :o)


Chris getting ready to climb


Mad skills. This is where Ireland gets it.


Here's the big sign at Pike Place Market... this place was so fun!


This cracked me up - look how tiny Jeff looks next to the World's Tallest Man... hahahaaa!


You know I had to.
HA!


You may have seen this place on tv - this is the fish market where they throw the fish. It was super cool (well, Jeff, EmJ, Luke and I thought so! The Shellaby's weren't big fans of the fish smell! Hee hee) - we did get to see them throw a couple of fish too - pretty fun!


This is a monk fish - they had it attached to a string and would pull the string and freak people out who were up close looking at it. EmJ thought it was hilarious!


Taking a break - having some juice and apples... while the boys had fish and chips. Mmm!



The original Starbucks. It was crazy busy or you know Kimmi and I would have gone in and got some coffee!


So, so pretty... pictures don't do it justice :o)


...more pretty views...


Chris and Chloe... so sweet


EmJ and Daddy


:o)


Our family
(Luke doesn't look to comfy, but he sure didn't complain... he was one tired boy, though!)


Ireland watching a magic show while wearing Mom's sunglasses... totally awesome.


This is what happened pretty much as soon as we got in the car.

Another great blog. I laughed out loud at the picture of Chris about to climb... weird that he looks so dang serious! Typical Chris picture! Good job, you!

Seattle is one of my most favorite cities...can't wait to go back again. We didn't do any fishing when we were there, so we sent a box of seafood home from the market. It was heavenly!
