We took the Washington Ferry to Bainbridge Island one day. We tried to get Taylor excited about it, telling him we were going on a big boat. He wasn't too crazy about it, probably a bit disappointed. He was thinking more on the lines of a huge cool pirate ship, I think.
Yep, it was super windy
A neat view of Seattle
By the Space Needle, in the Seattle Center, we found this goldmine. The biggest fountain ever! And it even squirted in time to music (does that make sense?)
The Space Needle was surprisingly tall... always reminds me of a flying saucer:)
Taylor loves to run everywhere!
Sonny and Taylor got this wet the first minute in the fountain.
We went to this joint called Top Pot Donuts in Seattle. We ordered a dozen donuts and scarfed them down.
Taylor had so much junk food that week! Eh, what the heck, why not.
We also stopped by Pikes Place Market, a gigantic Farmers Market downtown Seattle. We sampled some really salty Salmon (gag) and bought some Yakima Cherries.
I love buying vegetables that are outside like this, I don't know why. Just feel super cool doing it.
My sister loves Bigfoot! No, just kidding. She just gets suckered into having her picture taken with weird, random statues. It's a little tradition that we have. You should see our collection. Taylor is kinda liking being in pictures now. He voluntarily stood there and waved. Cute:)
Poor little crabs:( But so yummy!
Sonny and I have started getting addicted to the show "The Deadliest Catch" so we were way excited to see these King Crab.
The beach we usually go to in Steilacoom, a cute little town by us, had a really really low tide one morning, usually low I guess. We got lucky and were able to see tons of sea creatures. They were swimming all around us! We rescued this sea star from the shores and threw it back into the water. Just doing our part to save the world baby!
This crab got pretty mad at us. We bugged him for a while, trying to get him to crawl. I guess he didn't want to play with us.
Where we are walking here is an area that is usually covered by about 15-20 feet of water. So there was seaweed everywhere! Kinda gross.
Taylor got brave and touched one of the big Sea Stars.
I thought they were pretty cool too. Dang, I should have been a Marine Biologist.
Every single rock was covered with seaweed. Taylor's boots really came in handy that day. I need to get myself a pair bad. Flip Flops just don't cut it.
It's so baffeling how the ocean tides work. I just can't understand it. We took Sonny back there that evening hoping it would still be low so that he could see all the cool creatures, but sure enough, it was back to where it usually was. So weird but so cool.
And here's a video of Taylor doing his new "evil" laugh. He also calls it his "Happy Halloween" laugh. Ignore me in the video, I'm really annoying as I try to get him to do the laugh:)
