We have lived two thousand years....

Yesterday was spent doing errands and recovering from some oral surgery( as Pat would call it). So today we knew we needed to get the kids out as well as ourselves. We were thinking of checking out a nearby lake that Grandpa Fish has been talking up but instead went to Snoqualamie Falls. I had been there when Elijah was born with Mom and John but it was really nice to see it again and really appreciate it. Hans and Olive were both a little spooked being up above it so we drove into Snowqualamie and checked out the town and railroad museum. This tree was cut in 1987 and is 400 years old.

We were on our way home to have tuna and crackers when we took an odd turn and ended up downtown. Pikes place was crazy so we headed to the international district. Or should I say we decided to STOP in Chinatown. We had lunch here. I was amazed to learn that the boys and Olive LOVE duck. All three of them ate it up, skin included. Siobhan opted to stay at her friends even though she was advised we were starting the day with a visit to DMC( Donut, Muffin, Cookies). Not only are the donuts good but now that we are regulars my buddy always throws in a free bag of donut holes! SCORE!! Here they are learning how to eat rice candy. You eat the paper?

There was some excellent window browsing like these random photos on fake grass. Nothing else just a photo in an otherwise empty building.

And this guy, the most haggard pigeon ever. As I was taking this photo I heard Hans singing from atop Pete's shoulders. It sounded like a Chinese song in a high pitched voice. I thought he was soaking up some local culture but when we asked what he was singing he advised us it was what the dragons sang when the Simpson's were in China. What don't the Simpson's teach us?
