Having Fun in Seattle

We got up to Seattle last Thursday to visit with friends and are having a wonderful time, and they have kept us very busy.

Day One: We relaxed for a few minutes around the house, then went out on a speed boat on lake Washington. Vido and Tom got up on the water skis and we all jumped in for a refreshing swim in the clear lake. That evening we stayed around the house, the kids played at “Connor’s park” and enjoyed dinner outside.

Day Two:
Karen and I took the kids to the local park, and the boys biked 35 miles  over to red hook brewery where we went on the tour and had lunch. Full and happy, we came back to the house for a bit, then off to Overlake for swimming and the boys hit a bucket of balls at the golf course.

That evening they had arranged a babysitter for all the kids, and we had a nice evening out in Seattle. We went to dinner at Zoe, and then ice cream at Molly Moons, and saw a dodgeball game across the street on tennis courts.

Day Three:
Kayaking and canoeing around lake washington. My Camera got a bit wet on that trip. We got home Connor got a nap in, and the kids and I took the car and went and got ice cream while everyone took naps.

That evening we went to the gym where they had a big floaty slide in the pool. The kids loved it, but quickly got tired. We had dinner at the gym, and the kids both passed out when we got back to the house.

Day Four:
We went to Seattle Zoo.

Chateu Ste Michelle and saw Elvis Costello. and too much wine.

Day Five:

Seattle Center and the space Needle, and of course Pikes.

Day Six:

Fly home.
