Sleepless to and from Seattle

Why can't my kids sleep in the car? We went to Seattle for a day trip and even David wouldn't sleep in the car! We wanted to go visit Mike's sister, Sara, and also visited Pike's Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium.
This first picture is at the Low Flying Fish counter, waiting for someone to order fish. Brooke wanted to touch this big fish that was hanging over the edge of the counter and as she approached it, it jumped and scared her to death! (The person behind the counter pulled it to make it move.)


Here is Sara helping Brooke touch something in the aquarium.









Sara with the boys. Zach is the scuba diver and Nicholas is the eel, or whatever it is.




Zach riding the shark's fin!




And Nicholas!

What brave boys!






Walking around downtown in the beautiful drizzle of Seattle sunshine!




Yeah! The kids finally conked out the last 45 minutes of the drive home (even David).

That first picture is priceless. That's quite a drive for just a day but it does look like fun.

that's when living in china seems the hardest for me; when our kids come to our former neck of the woods and we're not there to have fun with them. so glad to see sarah up and moving after her car accident.
