Seattle!

No really update on baby except that the induction is still scheduled for Monday morning.

However we have done the tourist thing in Seattle!  Last Sunday, Bill took Ethan and Coral to see some sights.  I stayed home with the boys because they had slight runny noses and Logan would need a nap, and so we scheduled the activities that were less kid friendly.  Bill went to church and then met Ethan & Coral at Northgate Transit Center. They then took the bus to Westlake and had lunch at the food court.  Then they took the Monorail to Seattle Center and went to the top of the Space Needle and then to the EMP, Experience Music Project.  We have never been to the EMP; Bill said it was pretty neat, from displays of the origin of the guitar to an Avatar interactive exhibit and much more.

After the EMP, they took the Monorail back to Westlake and then went back down to the tunnel to catch the bus a couple of stations to Pioneer Square where the underground Seattle tour is located.  Again, we have never gone on this tour before and Bill said it was interesting.  It showed and explained the history of Seattle and how after it burned down, it was rebuilt and then the street/ground was moved up a floor to accommodate being built on a marsh right by the Sound.  I would like to go on it someday too; when the boys are old enough!

They then took the bus back to Northgate and then Bill drove them back to the Ronald McDonald House.  They all were pretty pooped after this.  They originally met at Northgate at 11:30, and Bill didn't get home until 8pm!

Needless to say, Coral needed to rest up on Monday, so they did not come with us when the 4 of us went to Seattle for our Labor Day adventure.  We took the bus again, and then walked to the water front and went on the new Seattle Great Wheel.  It just opened at the end of June, so is a brand new attraction in Seattle.  It was a fun time for a Ferris wheel ride!  Then, we had lunch, and then did the "Ride the Ducks" tour.  This is a vehicle that can go both on the street and water and took us on a tour starting at Westlake, into Lake Union and then all over Seattle, lasting 90 minutes.  We had never done it before and was fun!

The boys were so good!  We were gone most of the day, so Logan did not get a nap, but was soooo well behaved the entire day; I was really amazed.  A kind gentleman that we talked to for a few minutes while waiting in line at the Great Wheel asked if Logan was always this good, I said no! But, that was at the beginning of the day, so wasn't too amazing besides the fact that we had to wait a bit in line.  He calmly sat in his stroller, which is not like him!  :)

Bill is working this weekend, but I am going with Ethan and Coral back to Seattle so they can see the Pike Place Market and the Great Wheel. This is their last chance to have a little fun!

Be praying for and on Monday.  I'll post an update when I get home on Monday, which may be later if I am able to visit baby and Coral.
