A Pre-Christmas trip to Seattle

Making his Steiff teddy bear shirt squeek!

Last week Brock and I traveled to Seattle to have a little fun downtown taking in the sights of Christmas.

First we stopped at the Sheraton and checked out the cool Gingerbread "houses", made with gingerbread, yes, but also all other sorts of candies.

Then we headed to the Fairmont Olympic Hotel to see the Teddy Bear Suite.

I think he enjoyed looking at all the teddy bears and touching as many of these ball ornaments as he could!

Here is a video of him pointing out all the teddy bears.

Next we walked back to Westlake Park to ride the outdoor carousel. This didn't go as well as Busch Gardens... he was slightly scared when I first sat him on the horse, but then he settled down. Once the horses started to move, no way! Poor Brock had a look of complete terror on his face, so we scurried over to sit in one of the sleigh for the remainder of the ride.

Brock was calmed with some nice hot mini donuts while we walked back to the car to meet Brent for lunch at his office. A very fun day!

Here's what started our donut obsession - donut holes at Issaquah's Gilman Village when we stopped to see Santa and the fire trucks. "Dough-Nut" :)
