Today
John's Aunt Becky was in town from Tennessee so we decided to
spend a day in Seattle with her. It was a hot, hot day but it
was beautiful out.
First we headed
to the Pike Place Market where they were having some sort of street
festival. Then Aunt Becky and her friend were interested in going
up in the Space Needle so we went over to Seattle Center.
The Space
Needle is immediately adjacent to Fun Forrest. It's an amusement
park that I used to go to when I was a kid. It's small but fun.
As soon as
the boys saw the rides they couldn't wait to go on them. Ollie
was more interested in the fast, bombastic, crazy rides and Orion
was going for the more mellow ones. We compromised and ended up
on the little car convoy. They also tried the carousel.
Orion wanted
to attempt the bumper cars but Ollie was too short and we knew
it would break his heart to have to wait on the side so we promised
Orion he could do that some other time with Grandma.
By the end
of the day we were all exhausted. The boys sacked out in their
car seats on the drive home.
We made it
home just in time to greet Aunt Kathy and Uncle Seong Yoon (Uncle
Onion, as Ollie calls him). They were coming to babysit while
John and I enjoyed a date night. We went and saw an animated film
called UP and loved it. It was a adventure packed day and lots
of fun! |
