We are still in Seattle for Day 7!

Since we left Anchorage, Sean noticed there was a small oil leak coming from the Jeep. We decided that since we were in the United States now, we should get it checked out. Now, I cannot really remember what was wrong with the Jeep and why it was leaking, but what I DO remember is that the part wouldn't be in until later today, so we decided that instead of going down to Portland, Oregon as planned, we hang around in Washington for one more day.

We learned about a park there called Forest Park. If you live in this area and have kids, you HAVE to go and visit this park! They had a big open field for picnics, kite flying or bubbles! There is a playground, sprinklers, a petting zoo and it was all FREE.


I didn't realize there would be sprinklers, so I didn't pack the girls bathing suits for that day. SHAME on me!








She is trying to catch a singular drop of water.


And having so much fun in the process.




It's bubble time.


I love the looks Emelia gives me! The thing I really love about this photo is Emelia's outfit. I had to get her out of the sopping wet pants she was wearing, but now her outfit looks pretty ridiculous!


I want to catch one!


Time to see the animals!


Sometimes when you take a picture, you don't realize the way things will look until after the fact. I suppose I shouldn't post this picture because of what it looks like Emelia is doing to that goat.


Chickens!

After visiting with the animals, we decide we have had enough park time and now we want to see the ocean. This is one of the things I really enjoy about Washington. You can start off on a trail that looks like this:


While I was taking this picture, I look down and find Emelia:


Trying to fall into the little creek.


As I was saying, you can make quick work of this trail and end up:




At the ocean. This reminds me so much of Alaska!






My family. At my favorite place, the beach.

Miles driven today... ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
