Making It Snappy in Seattle

For my little Bro's wedding, we had a reception in Seattle and so me, the kids, the parents, and little Sis all drove up to Seattle. Can I hear a shout out for my adventurous family? They were all like, "sure! bring your two toddlers on a 12 hour car trip to stay for two days in a stranger's house and then drive back! You know, after making the cross country trip just a few weeks ago..." Very brave, they are! and my kids did great! (or they did in retrospect ;-) Really, though, we had a lot of fun. Here's just a few of my favorite pictures (none of which I took, little Sis gets all the cred).

First we have Emiline trying to eat what was left of her pink poodle balloon a street clown guy made for her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it says on the package that balloons are choking hazards. Isn't everything? She was supervised and she was mostly fascinated by the sound her gums made on the rubber, or whatever balloons are made of.




Here is Jane giving said balloon (which we'd taken away from Emiline by this point and given to Jane, so she had two) to the daughter of a street musician at the Seattle Space Needle. We went there mostly because a train ride sounded like fun to the little Sis and the kiddos. But it was quite pretty. Anyway, Jane felt bad the girl didn't have one, so gave her the extra. There was probably some persuasion involved, but it made a cute picture regardless. Jane is SO white!

Then we have my all time favorite: The bus stop pictures. I don't know what exactly about these pictures that is so cool, but seriously, aren't these awesome? I love the color contrasts in them. And that's the only why I've got.
