Visit to the Space Needle

Filed under: Helene, Josie, Robbie, Steve — Steve @ 2:44 pm

Steve’s parents visited over Thanksgiving and we all went up to Seattle, WA for the weekend. On Saturday we went to Apple Cup, the annual football game between the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) and Washington State University (Skin those Cougars!). In case you hadn’t guessed, it’s a bit of rivalry between the two schools.

It was a great game and UW won with a score of 30 to 0. That’s the first time UW has skunked WSU since 1964!

On Sunday we went into downtown Seattle and visited the Space Needle. Josie really enjoyed the ride up to the top and was very unhappy that we weren’t going right back down, and back up, and back down. :)

We had a picture taken before we headed up. It’s not too bad, although Robbie is almost invisible beneath his hat and with the baby carrier covering up a big part of his face.

We found out that Santa is at the top of the Space Needle in his rocket sled. Robbie got to sit with him first and he really seemed to enjoy himself.

Josie joined Robbie with Santa, but she wasn’t quite as thrilled. We think it’s because she was really over tired and starting to come down with a cold. But we still got a picture of the two of them with Santa.
