Seattle - The Wrap Up

 

 Saturday started out with some play time for Elliot and Grandpa.

 

 

They had some fun rolling the ball back and forth down the hall.

 

In the morning we discovered a milk carton regatta was being held at Green Lake.  Having never been to one, we fought through the traffic and scored a parking spot so we could see the regatta.  Each "boat" had a floating base of empty milk cartons. 

Some boats were simple and some were very elaborate.  Check out the aircraft carrier - now that is a masterpiece.

 



How about that big blue fish??

As we arrived they were finishing one of the races.  The above "barge" was in the race.  They had a whole party happening on their boat.

 

Another entry was a skyscraper.

 

Another tried to make everyone believe they were a speedboat.

 While we were watching, two cute kids came by with their moms in tow - out for a jog.  Edie and Elliot enjoy their moms running in the park.

 

They visited a while.  Elliot checked out the water with Uncle Adam.

And then they were off again.  That's Morgan in the red top and Lindsay in the light blue top, pushing Elliot and Edie.  We joked that they would probably beat us home since the traffic was a bit heavy.

Isn't the park beautiful.

 

Later that afternoon we piled in the car to drive to Safeco Field to see a Mariners game.

Elliot enjoys the games, but he especially likes eating popcorn at the games with his dad.

 

Dan thought his hot dog was worthy of a picture.

 

Adam tried out the fried twinkie!

 

Since I am so behind in my blogging, I don't remember the details of the game.  I do recall it was an exciting game.  The Mariners played the Rangers, and the Mariners won 7-0!

One last shot of Adam in Safeco Field after the game.  We didn't get a shot of all of us, but those who attended were Jamie, Morgan, Elliot, Boyd, Lindsay, Dan, Michelle, Bryce and Adam.  As we left they were giving a free bag of compost to the fans - only in Seattle.

Lindsay and Boyd headed home after the game, but they rest of us enjoyed some tasty desserts from Honore Bakery.

Chocolate!

 

I don't remember the name of this creation, but it was delicious.

The next day was Sunday.  We went to church with Jamie and Morgan, and then had a fabulous Sunday meal when Lindsay and Boyd came over.  Here is one last shot of our family in Seattle.  It was hard to leave.

It was a clear day as we flew out.  We were able to get this amazing picture of Mt. Rainier.  It was a fabulous week in Seattle.  A perfect spot for a summer vacation.
