Seattleites

So here we are in Seattle w/ nothing to do in this boring city. You know what they say, "When life gives you lemons, throw them at stupid people." Well we didn't have lemons so we went out today. Julie went shopping and out to lunch with her mom and sisters. Grandpa John and I took the guys to the Boeing Museum of Flight.


First we had to pay our respects to great grandpa Dale by stopping for lunch at his favorite haunt and get British burgers and root beer floats.



Super action team GO!


Cockpit of a SR-71 Blackbird.

Then it was off to meet Julie and spend the afternoon at Pike Place Market. We had been telling the boys about a fish market that throws the fish. Then we saw it on TV a few weeks ago.
10# King salmon in flight. Impressive yes, but when you see it in person it's like "What's the point."

Me and my Johnny. He is always good for a smile.


We went to a Joke/Magic shop. Will got a can of mixed nuts that is really a snake that pops out when you open it. I can't remember what John got.
Lastly a self pic in front of the famous sign.

Frank and Stein

Okay, I admit it. I am being that annoying parent that tells you every time their kid says something pithy or wipes his nose an interesting way. To be frank that's all I got right now. I take a lot of pride in my boys. This is always a very busy time of year for us. In 48 hours we have Halloween and the guys B-day. Now we add a student of the month award. (I am so glad they didn't give out bumper stickers)


Will was student of the month for his class. This from a kid that just 4 months ago was proclaiming that he would never go to school and would spend his life waiting for me to come home from work to make him grilled cheese sandwiches.
He also got a "One free kids meal at the sizzler" coupon. Umm.......We will be sure to jump right on that.

Who would win in a fight? A roided out super human soldier of the future or an elite ninja/ Mortal Combat fighter?

Answer; It's a tie. The Mortal Combat fighters extreme stare is cancelled out by the soldier of the future's marsh mellow gun.

Happy Birthday boys. I love you.
