Saturday was another pretty day and after breakfast we headed up to Seattle for a little tourist action. We stopped first at, you guessed it, Pike's Market! It was lots of fun, as always, walking around the market browsing and doing some shopping.
The market area has some really talented street performers who play guitar, sing, play piano, etc. But this guy really took the crown - he was playing guitar, singing, playing harmonica, playing jingle bells on his feet all while doing the hoola-hoop. In addition, during some songs, he balanced the guitar on his chin and hopped around in circles (all while doing the hoola hoop!) Pretty talented.
We had lunch at the market - clam chowder, of course - and then went to the Pacific Science Center. We joined this museum around Christmas to see the King Tut exhibit and wanted to go back. Besides, it was the only way we could bribe the kids to come with us to Seattle! We didn't stay that long since it was getting late in the day, but we did make a stop in the butterfly garden to see all the beautiful butterflies.

| This poor butterfly landed for a drink, but the koi attacked him and he couldn't fly because his wings were wet. Stevie came to his rescue! |

Your kids are growing up so fast! I hope you invested in 3 good bricks to hold them down ... at least for awhile ;)
