We managed to get everybody in the picture, looking at the camera and smiling!

Beloved Pipe place Market!
Some interesting history about this building - at one point it was the fourth largest building in the world...also the hill it's on is an 18% uphill grade - use to be 40%
Jenny and I met up with a really sweet couple from Georgia (Monte and Laurie Ott - They were at Apvoka last year and met Zane, and will be this year - Anna, I told them about you guys and that you would be there). We spent the day with them - ate at a yummy italian place for lunch, then did the Seattle underground tour - very interesting
A skylight type thing underneath the ground
One of the oldest pictures of Seattle - this was in 1866 right downtown
A random funny fact we learned: Seattle (way back when it was 'underground') use to get 87% of its profit from seamstresses (aka prostitutes)...another way women made money was by waiting until the middle of the night for drunk men to walk by and dropping potted plants of the porches, then robbing the men while they were out cold...because this was so popular, potted plants became illegal on porces higher than the 1st story
=)
Something you will definitely see in Seattle
Jenny being silly
Last night there was a racoon on g&g's front porch, looking at us watching him and putting his paws up on the windowsill...it was the cutest thing!
All these pictures have taken place in the last few days and as you can see, it's been a blast! I decided I'd better update now, because mom and dad are going to E. WA tomorrow so this is my last chance...probably won't be updates for awhile - at least not pictures. I'm not sure when I'll be leaving Seattle, but I'm not ready yet! On monday, Krista and I are going exploring downtown, and tuesday us kids are doing something with the clinton kids...thursday is ultimate frisbee and beyond that, I don't know my plans - Jenny and i were talking about going on an Argosy cruise, so that might be in the plans too!
