This past week we took a family trip to Seattle. Josh had a conference and Abram and I were able to visit with family and friends. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. I'm posting a lot of pictures for the benefit of Grandpa Terry who loves Washington and wasn't able to come with us.
Abram met his cousin Bethany for the first time and pretty much fell in love. He followed her around the entire afternoon and had tons of fun.
Abram and I were also able to spend a day at the Woodland Park Zoo with my friend Amy. This was Abram's first trip to a zoo and it was a hit! If I would have let him I think he would have stared and barked at the penguins all day.
He's pointing at a beautiful giraffe family in this picture. The zoo is very beautiful and has a very 'natural' feel. So natural in fact that we kept getting lost!
We did manage to find the petting zoo which was a huge hit.
Thanks Amy for a great day!
Of course any trip to Seattle wouldn't be complete without a trip to the market. We actually didn't get very far because it is so packed with people that we mainly had to walk outside. I was able to slip away early one morning for a visit to the market and it is so much fun - especially without the crowds.
Abram found a beautiful sculpture at the waterfront and decided to emerge himself in the art.
First bite of seafood at Ivars.
A trip on the ferry. I thought Abram would be afraid but he had a great time.
We also had a trip to the beach with Great Grandma Ace. It was low tide so there was a bit of seaweed but that didn't stop us from having fun.
Papa explaining all about photosynthesis.
Hands on exploration of the sand.
I just thought this was a cute picture.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Laurie.
Vacations are always way too short!
