Papaw's visit...

Papaw got to come for a fun visit! The girls were so excited! He was here for 3 days and we loved every minute of it!
On Thursday we decided to show him Seattle... we went to the big REI and to Pikes Place Market. We had lots fun.
The girls were excited to be spending the day out and about with Papaw and Daddy!


Pikes Place is at the bottom of some crazy hills! It doesn't look that steep in this picture... but trust me, it is! For those of you who don't know, Pikes Place Market is one of the country's oldest running farmers market. It is down by the water in Seattle and very interesting!


Lots and lots of fresh seafood and produce! It doesn't always smell the best!


Since it is summer time it was really crowded! More crowded then Disney World in the summer! Chloe got a little overwhelmed with all the people. She didn't like that part at all! Good thing Papaw was there to carry her!


We saw a Police Officer on a horse... Ireland thought that was pretty neat!


One of the girls favorite things to do at the market is to get fresh fruit. Ireland got a "dinosaur egg" (it was really called a gold rose plum). She thought it was pretty yummy!


Chloe got the biggest plum I have ever seen! This is just what she needed to pull her out of her little funk! :)


We spent some time to look at the ocean...



Ireland had to borrow my sunglasses (she has the most sensitive eyes) because she forgot hers in the van... its a good thing I am such a nice mom!


They obviously had a long day... they both fell asleep on the way home!



This picture is from the next morning... all eating some breakfast together!


Thanks for a great visit, Papaw! We can't wait for the next one!!
