Trip To Seattle

Last Weekend

Last weekend we took a trip to Seattle. We didn't tell the girls where we were going. I think they thought we were going camping for a while, since we go camping every year and hadn't been yet. But, we didn't bring a tent. They kept asking us where we were going and we kept telling them things like, "isn't this the way to Mt. Rainier?" When we got to our hotel, they asked where we were and we told them Tukwila, which was true. Of course, Tukwila is just minutes from Seattle.

 
 
Mariah & Abigail At this point the girls were thinking we took them on this trip to visit the Family Fun Center which was outside the hotel window.

Burke Natural History Museum
The girls are outside of the Burke Natural History Museum which is a neat museum with lots of artifacts and fossils. Unfortunately, they do not allow you to take pictures in their museum.
 

This is a sheep at the zoo. I don't know why they sheered her this way. I suppose they wanted to show the kids how thick their fur was long, yet they wanted to keep the sheep cool. This was the family farm section of the zoo. It was kind of funny because our kids are around more farm animals than they had there on a daily basis. My husband kept urging us on past that area, since it was nothing our kids haven't seen.
 
 
Girls watching the Flamingos. The Flamingos were the highlight of the zoo for our girls.


We got to see the Giraffes up close.
 
 
Abigail crashed at the zoo. Mariah crashed at the hotel the next morning.
