Sleepless in Seattle

Ok I have been so lazy lately, hence the lack of blogging.  However, I thought I would continue with the catch up of the past five...six months.  Todays catch up...family visits in Seattle!  My family drove fifteen hours from little Lindon, Utah to Lake Forest Park, Washington to spend Thanksgiving with me and the rest of our family we have in Washington.  It was fun having them visit.  Growing up we used to always go to Washington for Christmas so it was kind of like stepping back in time since we hadn't been there for so long.  One of the things that we have the greatest memories of was going to the science museum downtown and going to Pike's Place Market, so we did just that when the family came!  :)  We tried to recreate all the memories of the past including taking pictures in the same places we did when we were younger.  Here are some of the images of us having a grand ol' time being kids again.  I only wish brother and sister were there as well!

Here are some pics right outside of the science museum.

Mounting the whale tail...it's a lot harder than it looks

But we finally did it!

Sisters!

Our fishy faces with the fishy statues

Haha sister's massive bangs!

This is a classic pic, we have a pic just like this when we were all about ten years younger.  We're only missing, Dustin, Cheltsey, Cameron, and Casey

I'm a raptor doin what I can...yo yo see me I'm livin below the soil, I'll be back but I'm coming as oil!  Ha name that movie!  This isn't really a raptor but we look like raptors...kinda

My cute parents

More raptor pics, or maybe more like a T-Rex

Holding the world

I've got the whole world in my hand...

Ugh this gross little creature gives me goosebumps, its so big

Taking pictures as ants in the insect section

We put these together...so proud

We loved this section of the museum.  We played with the crazy mirrors and with the almost impossible puzzles and an all time favorite from the old days...the shadow wall!  I tried to get pics of that but it just didn't turn out with the darkness and the flash, but here are some of the mirror pics.

This was one of our favorite parts of the science museum, we stayed here for awhile taking weird pics of ourselves...long necks

Midgets!

Long torsos

Hovering...haha we were at this one for awhile just dying laughing at each other

We got some really oh so delicious doughnuts at Pikes.  After we went down under (Pikes Market that is) and discovered this cool alley way...actually our cousin took us there to show us the famous "Gum Wall".  Yes, it is just what it sounds like...a wall with gum on it.  How gross is that?  Thousands, maybe millions of people's chewed old gum stuck to a wall.  Well it looked pretty cool, just couldn't fathom getting too close and accidentally touching it!  Ugh, anyways here it is

Ok not those (but it would be a cool place to take pics with all the cool graffiti) 

This is the Gum Wall

Disgusted

Crazy right?

The ugliest fish I've seen

My favorite part of the market...the perfect fresh fruits and vegetables

Well that ends the journey of our adventures in downtown Seattle and also the end of a "long, lots of pictures" post.  Needless to say I had so much fun with my family...I always do!
