So we plan on going to Kennewick and Boise for Christmas, so there should be another blog post in the near future, but until then I thought I'd show some pictures of what we did this week. We had a crazy storm these last few days. It rained something like 4 inches in 48 hours so below is a picture showing just how much rain we've had. There have been floods, mudslides, downed trees and just plain craziness.
Okay, so we had plans this weekend to hang out with some friends before we took off for Christmas vacation, but Dillon came down with a nasty cough! We decided not to take the risk of passing his germs to other people, so we hung out as a family. I always love downtown Seattle at night, so we loaded up the kids and drove through downtown. We've lived here 3 years and never have seen the troll under the Aurora Bridge, so we made a quick little detour. Dillon loved it! Kenzie, was scared and cried the whole time and Anderson...well...he didn't really do anything. At this time Dillon was coughing terribly and we thought we might have to go home, but Natalie found someone's purse that was left behind. We grabbed it to find the owner and luckily inside was a bag of cough drops! I hope the people don't mind!
Next we headed over to the U-District/Ravenna neighborhoods to a little loop called Snowflake Loop. The pictures didn't turn out too well, but you can kind of see what was going on. The kids really enjoyed it.
Next we headed back to Kent to the downtown plaza and carousel. We had gone to the carousel earlier in the day and since the kids had so much fun (and it only cost $1 per kid), we headed back to see it at night. This time all the lights were lit up in the plaza. By this time it was dang cold, so we didn't spend much time there.
Oh, and I forgot to mention. Coming back from Seattle we stopped in Burien and went to a hamburger place called B-Town Burgers. It was excellent and within our budget!
