Day 3 of Vacation

Day 3 started off really well! The sun was shining and we decided to do some outdoor activities! We went off to Seattle City Center with the Pacific Science Center, Space Needle, and all things fun like a fair.

Hannah worked all the things in the Pacific Science Center. We saw her working dinosaur jaws, and rock climbing walls. See her here trying to climb the walls! This time it was a good thing.

Then she and Gary decided to be CRAZY and split themselves all up floating above the ground! Don't they look silly!They also saw crazy water things, HUGE tables, bubble contraptions. Hannah beat a big machine at tic tac toe. You can see her celebrating. . .

Then we went to the Space Needle, but on account of the really really really really really really really really long line, we decided not to go up and just got a shot with Hannah. It's pretty big!

We ended up riding some rides. Hannah and I went on the ferris wheel - Colleen got some pictures. Then Hannah got to ride the bumper ride. Since she was with a bunch of broken bodies, she had to go by herself. As you can see, she didn't seem to mind. She had plenty of people to bump into. The picture here shows how FAST she was going! My camera just wasn't quick enough to get a clear one. Perhaps she's training for NASCAR to give Jeff Gordon a run for his money.

After this, we again went home to wake Alistair and went to Lincoln park to go swimming. Hannah got to slide down a big slide. She and I were the only one's swimming. I got TOTALLY burned on my back, but we had a great time. The pool was a salt water pool, so that was pretty neat.

Alistair was bug collecting on the beach and Colleen and Gary watched us swim and took in some rays of sun! Then Hannah got to put her feet in the Pacific Ocean, sorry no pictures of that - but it was REALLY REALLY cold. She got sandy feet and water on her shoes. . . good thing they were flip flops.

It was a great day - we went back to Pike's Place Market and got salmon, shrimp, and corn. We had a HUGE dinner. Colleen and I cooked and it was FABULOUS. I loved all the sea food. Hannah even tried all the fish and shrimp. . . but her favorite was the corn. I can't blame her - it was REALLY REALLY good.
