fun forest!

after the game today, we headed to downtown seattle for some fresh fruit, veggies and fish! we also made a pit stop by the fun forest at the seattle center so the boys could ride some rides! the boys (mainly gabe!) has been begging us to ride rides at the fun forest every time we are down there with visitors! each time, we have said no for various reasons and each time it has resulted in a prolonged sulking session! so today with our afternoon free, it being somewhat rainy, and the fact we were in the neighborhood we decided to surprise him with this outing! so we are officially the best parents---for today! the boys had a blast! the rode several rides - bumper cars, mini roller coaster, flying dumbo ride, and some thing that took them way up in the air and back down! after reclaiming ourselves as the best parents in the world, we headed down to the pike place market! that place is always busy, but you can tell we are not in the height of tourist season...you could actually walk through with out being knocked around! our visitors from this summer can appreciate this! we grabbed tons of fruit - that will sure to please- some veggies - the asparagus was scrumptious tonight!- and some fresh alaskan cod! we also did a little christmas shopping....but i can't post that dandy find! it was a nice, touristy afternoon!!!
