Our trip to Seattle

We were off to Seattle to visit the Ehlenbach's. Johanna was checking out the baggage cars loading.
We are ready - Let's go!!
A shot from the plane in WA. There were 4 mountains we saw - Rainier, Hood, Adams, and St. Helen. When we arrive at the Ehlenbach's after lunch, there was a care package from Lynn and Dr. Sy -
mmmm cookies.
Downtown Seattle from the Space Needle.
Jo, Madeline, and Bethany posing.
Bethany and Jo riding on Bill and Tom's shoulders.
Tom and I in front of the Space Needle.
Bath Time - the girls took a bubble bath together. Johanna wasn't quite sure about it. She likes the naked dancing before bath time though.
Maddie in the tub
The girls waiting for the bus to go downtown.
Johanna and Bethany - so cute!
Johanna and I on the bus - her 1st bus ride.
She didn't really like the concept of sitting and waiting.
Checking out the market downtown. It was great. We didn't see any fish tosing, but lots of fresh fruits, veggies, fish, and flowers.
Tom and Bill
A little band in front of the 1st Starbucks ever. They were pretty good.
The local bird man. He taught his bird tons of tricks. Talking, playing dead, summersaults, it was very entertaining. Jo enjoyed watching from a distance, but when he came closer she clung to me.
He pretended to KO the bird. Then the bird feel over and hung upside down. It was funny.
Johanna's 1st lollipop - do you think she liked it?
Such silly girls
Don't mess with Maddie when she has her lollipop. Just kidding.
There was a fashion show after eating lollipops with hats and gloves.
How innocent they look Go Irish! ND beat WA that night very badly. Bill, Mary, Tom and I all went to the game - it was a cool stadium.
Grilling out shrimp and scallops on the top of a parking garage. I don't think it could have been legal, but it was tasty.
Tom and Bill before the game.
In the Seattle airport there was a cool kids play area. We checking it out for about 15 minutes. Johanna loved it! She was climbing, crawling, and sliding...
