First we parked below post alley and went to SAM. It was a little bit of a pain because they don't allow baby backpacks and Joanna and I both had a kid in one. So we had to borrow a stroller. It was cool to look around, although it is more for older kids/people. There were also a few things we had to shield the kids from. That being said, there were also some things that the kids enjoyed like the african manican things with masks. Many were kids sized.
Then we went to the car to feed the meter and headed back up to pike place. We walked around and bought some produce and flowers for mom. We also got a picture with the pig. We contemplated buying a salmon but I decided that it was too expensive. The kids were surprised yet again by the monk fish on a string. Then we headed back to the car down post alley and stopped by the gum wall. We didn't have any gum, but a guy was there with some friends and happily gave us some. The kids thought it was really cool.
2 blocks back to the car for another meter feeding and then 1 block over to Ivars. We decided to eat outside and the seagulls were everywere. Levi enjoyed feeding them. It's cool that the outside Ivar's fish bar is right next to the firestation. We also got to see some ferries come and go.
Then we loaded up and headed down to the museum of flight. Levi was in love with all the airplanes. Since he was very young he has always heard the airplanes flying over and been amazed. He loved sitting in the cockpits. In the world war I exhibit, it sounds like airplanes are flying all above you. He kept looking up, watchign for them.
The next day, the kids wrote about their favorite part of the day. I'll include them below.
Josh:
I went to the Ivar's seafood bar in Seattle. We sat outside next to the seagulls and the pigeons and the little birds. After we ate, we fed them the extra bread from the clam chowder I ate. They also liked the clumps of coleslaw we fed them and they fought over it. I love Ivar's.
Mackenzie:
I went to the gum wall with Josh. We stuck gum on the wall. It was fun. It is in Seattle. It is colorful. We half to go home now. The end.

I didn't know about the "Gum wall." When you (Kaleb) and James were young we ALWAYS went to Ivars to eat and feed the sea gulls. You guys loved it. Somethings really do go full circle. What a great day for the family. I love Pike Place market. Hmm..might be a fun thing for Kam and I to do this week. I spent the day with Tammy Ed and Kaitlyn at the Outlet Mall. Read my blog you'll know why. But I did get started on all my "girls" birthdays coming up in May. I'm trying to hold off until I get to Orlando or even next week in Texas. I was able to find "butterfly wings" for all the girls on Tuesday for Bella's birthday. We're going to have a great time. I will have things for the boys too...just not wings. Love to all..I'll see Joanna and kids soon. Glad you had a good spring break Kaleb.Dad's on way home tomorrow! It'll take about 2 weeks.
Sounds like you all had a really great day! I can't wait to have a family and do fun stuff like this together. That gum wall is pretty gross though, lol. I still have fun feeding seagulls! You sure have a great looking family! Awesome pictures.
Hi, it was good catching up. I like all the pics, but the one of you & joanna w/ the little ones especially sweet. We will have to check out SAM & the museum of flight....I might pass on the gum wall...it kinda falls into my expiration date phobia!
Your pictures are always so nice, the kids look like they are having such a good time. Joanna, I may have an old email address for you. I will check the email again. I did invite you to view. Sounds like the party for Bella was a great success. Love, Sue
