Our time in Seattle (2013)

After our long drive to Grandma's and a good night sleep...

It was time to start our Washington fun!

On Friday mom and Grandma canned applesauce

Me and Cooper played all day with Cameron.

On Saturday we got to go on Grandpa Jones' boat 

and we watched big jets fly right over our heads.

On Monday, we went to the Ballard Locks.

We watched the boats move from the really high lake 

to the really low Puget sound.

(I didn't think it was all that cool)

Then we went down to the fish ladder and watched the fish swim.

They were really big. 

Cooper really liked them.

On Tuesday we went to "the beach"

Really it's a lake.

I showed Vicki my swimming skills.

Cooper just played in the sand.

On Wednesday, mom and grandma canned green beans.

And daddy finally got here!

On Thursday, we went to the zoo.

There were sharks there.

and birds you could feed.

We saw baby tigers, and elephants, and seals and walruses, and foxes,

and a polar bear, and penguins, and fish and it was a super cool zoo!

On Friday we went to my mom's uncle's bakery.

She visited with some of her mom's family.

Did you know that her great aunt is still alive?...she's 92.

We ate doughnuts for breakfast there...

Cooper really liked his maple bar.

Then we walked down to the beach.

and mom even took a silly picture.

"hi-ya"

After throwing rocks in the ocean and finding cool ninja sticks,

We found the troll under the bridge.

Cooper did NOT like the troll..

"Scarrrrry"

And then we went to Pike's Place Market.

And walked down by the water!

 It has been a very fun and busy week.

Tomorrow we get packed up and ready to go camping!

I can't wait!!!!

Banks Lake here we come!
