Seattle

The first week of July we flew to Seattle to visit Mike's extended family.
Our first stop was dinner at the home of Jill's college friend Karmen. Fisher and Hunter loved playing with her three young daughters. When the ice cream truck came by their girls taught our boys all about it.



We stayed downtown our first night at the W Seattle. The next morning Mike took the boys to the Seattle Aquarium and let me sleep in. Thank you!! When he saw how steep the uphill walk returning to the hotel was he threw the boys in a taxi.
We stayed at Uncle Raed house on Wooton Lake near Seattle. Here are three generations of fisherman. Mike's Uncle Fahmy, next to him, taught Mike how to fish. Jill got a chance to waterski. I'll spare you the photos. Fisher spent much time on the dock practicing casting. Mike took him out in the pedal boat for fishing along the shoreline.
Mike's cousin Breanne with Hunter.Hunter's first frappacino from the original Starbucks near Pike's Place market. He LOVED it!Mike's uncles Raed and Fahmy.
After strolling Pike's Place market we took a ferry to Tillicum Village for an authentic salmon dinner.

Darren and Hunter shared lots of tickles and giggles.
Fish had fun with his cousins Breanne, Jared and Ryan. *POW!*


Aunt Jana took us to the beach near Southworth Ferry Landing to look for crabs and starfish. Andrea came along to help us hunt.


Hunter fearlessly picked up the baby crabs and even tried tasting them.
