The Bite, SAM Sculpture Park, and The Ballard Locks

We went to "The Bite" of Seattle last weekend and Trever got to meet one of his Idols: Tom Douglas. He had a great little chat with him, asked him about his wild boar at Serious Pie and Thanked him for the t-shirt. He was such a down to earth guy, and his dish was of course the family favorite of the day. Crab stuffed sausage with some grilled corn, with a hint of mint. I should have let Trever explain it, I am sure it would have been more accurate and more appetizing. This is one thing that we don't want to miss when it rolls around. If you haven't been it is worth the trip!

After "The Bite" We headed to SAM Sculpture park. We had lots of fun at the beach there. It was a little rocky but the kids had a blast throwing rocks in the Sound. There was a lot of different but cool sculptures to see to, it was so beautiful to just walk along the Sound.

Cute family picture at the entrance.
Riggy throwing rocks into the Sound, wearing his lovely boots! Of all the shoes he has, he picked these to wear today! Trever and I were both just dying at this choice, because it was going to be really hot day. But, it was actually a good idea after all because it kept his feet pretty dry!
Trever was a good sport, I made him pretend to go "running" with this sculpture!
Check out how fast he is!


THE BALLARD LOCKS
This was such a great place! It was fascinating to see the boats go up and down with the water change. One of the worker told us that the level can change in just 15 minutes. It was amazing to watch. I kept telling Trever that my Dad would love this. I can't believe that this was our first visit. We will have to go back for sure.
(We will have to make it on our list of places to take visitors!)

Madi kept saying "shishy" She loved the fish in the Salmon Ladder. We had to pry both the kids away from the exhibit. They could have stayed there all day watching them.
