Oh good... my template is back to normal so I can post again without pulling my hair out. I grew up in a relatively technological home and took computer classes all throughout high school and university and I figure I am pretty computer literate. My world crumbled though when I tried to use the new designer thing on here and I was reduced to tears and had to lie down in a little ball before I was able to fix things. Never again...

Anyway I guess I should catch up since my double weddings took up a lot of my summer and sanity but we did do some other fun things too. When I got home from Canada we went to Seattle.

This is the place where they throw the fishies. You have to buy the fish and then they will throw it so we sat there for a while to see a flying fish. In actuality when the guy threw the fish, the people who were buying it and taking pictures got slimed by fish guts. Gross! We decided to pass on buying anything and moved onto the gum wall.
These pics are mostly for my sister Sara who thinks the Seattle Gum Wall is one of the seven world wonders. Again it was incredibly gross but now I can say I've been there.
We spent some time in Pike's Market which is like one big indoor farmer's market.

The lizard guarded the fruit and ate a lot of it too!

A big gummy bear made out of gummy bears. Yummy!

There was a little alligator in the tank with the lobsters and crabs. I hope he wasn't on the menu!

This was a super long sucker fish or something like that. The fish guys would pull on its tail to make it move and it scared the crap out of people.
It was a quick fun trip and we liked seeing that part of the coast. Gray really wanted to go find the Seattle Grace Hospital where Grey's Anatomy is filmed but we ran out of time...too bad. Anyway if you are ever heading to Seattle, let us know. We would love to go again and maybe this time we can enjoy the...
FREE SMELLS!

Now I think we need to go to Seattle. Looks so fun! And I must admit, I thought that was a real lizard, but I was not deceived into thinking it had really eaten the fruit. And free smells! HAHA!

Oh! That looks awesome! I've never been to Seattle. I ran into your mom and she said she was coming down to go to time out for women! Have fun with her!
