Seattle Adventure 09

This past weekend we headed to Seattle with the Chipmans to visit our friends Aimee and Scott. It was an adventure...let me tell you. First on the agenda was Pikes. Chase and Teagan. After Pikes Aimee and Scott took us to a delish sushi restaurant. Jamison was brave (since he hates seafood more than anything...I think he would rather eat poo), and actually ate some sushi. I am proud of him.

Friday we decided to go to the Olympic Wild Game farm. On the way we talked of finding the perfect small town diner and eating there. As we were driving along,out of the blue Scott said, "There it is!!". Our lifes will never be the same. Let me introduce you to Smittys.
Imagine if you will, entering a diner and being greeted by more Christmas decorations then you have ever seen in your entire life, coupled with the smell of old people times a billion, and a waitress who I think was literally stuck in the realm of the 80's. At the last moment we tried to think of an excuse to escape, but it was to late. Smittys had sucked us in.I was a bit overwhelmed...being accosted by Christmas and all.

Oh yes, here we are on the ferry on the way to Smitty/Olympic Wild Game Farm. We had no idea what we were in for.

And now, Olympic Wild Game Farm


If you've ever dreamed of having a buffalo the size of a mini van stick his huge head in your car window and slobber all over you with his 10 inch tounge, then this is the place for you. But seriously it was awesomeBold. We went there with the kids in mind, thinking they would love it. Turns out they didn't enjoy animals attempting to enter the car, but us adults had the time of our lives.




Chase and Teags checking out the bears (which will do tricks).

There were zebras, lamas, elk, reindeer, bears, wolves, lions, peacocks. Oh what fun.


Chase was nervous.

Other adventures included: going to fun parks.

The Troll

Since we were on the go the whole time, Chase had to fit in her naps whenever/where ever she could. Even if it was while watching Dora on the ipod with headphones on.

And now, the video taken whilst at Olympic Game Park. My favorite parts are pretty much everything Aimee says, and at the end, Jamisons comparing the animals to the chain saw guys at haunted houses.






Big thanks to Aimee and Scott for letting us stay with them / Scott providing the awesome photgraphy/ Aimee creating my lovely blog banner!!
