Smoke-less in Seattle

Wenatchee had been so smoky with all the surrounding fires so we made a last minute decision to get out of town.  We headed to the Seattle area to enjoy some fresher air.

This is the big welcome to Pateros sign that is no longer. When we first moved back to Wenatchee we actually looked at a couple houses here and on Alta Lake.  Both areas have been devastated by the wildfires...something like 100 buildings and houses have been lost. 

We lucked out because the Seattle Sounders had a friendly home game so we bought tickets for that. 
Clint Dempsey played today and it was revealed that his picture would be on the 2015 FIFA World Cup Soccer XBOX game.  It was a fun game and very packed.  They tied this game. 
We decided to drive to the Space Needle and go to the top. 
It was a crowded day in the city because of a festival called "Bite of Seattle". 
Presley pointing out Century Link Field. 
Rylan checking things out. 

Leave it to Dave to find the one safety wire held together by electrical tape. 

We left Seattle and drove to our hotel in Tukwila and had dinner at California Pizza.
Then we went swimming at our hotel and got ready for bed. 

We woke up on Sunday and wanted to walk to Starfire. 
This is where Logan's soccer craze really began when he played in a Labor Day tournament for Wenatchee Fire 2 years ago.  
The facility was open so we played on their turf fields for a couple hours. 
There was another little boy shooting too (boy in green shorts) so Logan and Rylan invited him to play. 
They shot penalty kicks on Dave. 
Oh, and we did some gymnastics too. 

Then we went over to the Family Fun Center in Tukwila.
We had so much fun!!
All the kids did the trampoline. 

Logan, Presley, and Rylan did the giant swing. 
Rylan did not like this at all.
But Presley and Logan did it a couple more times.

Dave and Presley and Logan rode the go-carts.


Rylan and Harper did the kiddie go-carts.

Rylan did the bumper boats.

Harper couldn't do the big kid rides so I took her over to the kiddie land and she did the swings and the planes there. 

We went out to eat dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and then we headed home.

Fun way to escape the icky smokiness of Wenatchee.
