America, so welcoming, but the entry requirements are strange and somewhat embarassing. What's with this?
Arriving at the Flight Museum. Connor's head is just about to explode.
Connor and Liam collapse numbed, their heads have already blown off so they're not really sure what to do now.
I was the only one able to look up for this shot and not fall over because of the optical illusion caused by the clouds passing over the Needle.
Supreme Leader overcomes her fear of heights out of love for her children.
But decides it's safer to stay away from the edge.
The boys.
And now I gotta go. We're currently visiting Nana and Grampa in the sprawling metropolis of Barriere, BC. Shopping, casinos, five star dining, don't be jealous. We're going for a hike out in the sticks and I'm holding everybody up. Later peeps.
MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY TOMORROW AND MONDAY!!! More guest posters! More excitement! More! More! More!

Yeah, I don't do heights. And I wouldn't let my husband take the kids up there either. My guess is she didn't trust you to do it alone.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you feeding Connor? Holy crap that kid is getting tall.
How was the speed hump? Were there border guards watching? I thought America was founded by Puritans.
Great pictures, glad you're having fun on your trip... step away from the blog and take a hike. I mean go hiking.
ReplyDeleteHave my darlings nephews stopped singing yet??? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......it's peanut butter jelly time!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Supreme Leader. You could not pay me to go up the Space Needle. Looks like you guys had fun.
ReplyDeleteSpeed humps are what we do for fun here.
Thanks for posting, I was really missing ya. Can't wait for Jenbo's guest post...Woo hoo!
I'm not a fan of heights, but the space needle wasn't terrible for me. I loved that the McDonald's has a big "M" on the roof for you to look down upon. At first, I was all, "Clever", than I thought, "No, evil. That's pandering to the children." Then 20 minutes later I was over there eating a cheesburger. Turns out Hank saw the golden arches too. Wow. It must me such a treat for you to come to the states where we have roads and McDonalds and stuff. Make sure you go on the Ducks tour and see the Houseboat from Sleepless in Seattle. You won't care, but it will score you major points with Supreme Leader. Sorry I kind of bullied you into posting again.
ReplyDeleteSpeed bump photo is a riot!!
ReplyDeleteI am cool with heights..... as long as it is not not a plane..
Have a great holiday!
Wait, you were in Seattle? Where's the grunge? Where's the Starbucks headquarters? Where's Microsoft? And Bill Gates for that matter? Where am I going with this? Where.... dude, it's late. Just glad you posted.
ReplyDeleteSpeed Hump? That can't be much fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love Conner in front of the fighter jet. He does look like his head's going to explode. And Supreme Leader has a nice smile. So do you!
ReplyDeleteI love the "speed hump" that looks kind of like a land mine!
ReplyDeleteGoodfathers wife here,
ReplyDeletewe have the same pics at home, expect with us in it! the pic of the space needle from below, the one from on top and of us sitting there on the bench, trying to get the most out of your money by not leaving after five minutes...
But looks like you guys had a great weather! Hope you enjoy your stay!
Hey! Glad you made it stateside, as it were. Great pics. You know, my beautiful wife (Julia) and I live very near Seattle, so next time you come down, she's offered to make authentic German Schnitzel mit Pommes for you. With coffee. Lots and lots of our best seattle coffee.
ReplyDelete:D
goodfather and julia-with an offer like that you should be expecting us SOON!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it cost like $50 bucks each or something to go up to the top of the space needle. Like a true faux native, I have not been up top since the first time I liked there, when my age was in the single digits. (lived there twice. third times the charm, baby.)
ReplyDeleteOkay, yeah, I'm with Supreme Leader on that one - not a fan of heights myself.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had such an awesome time!
Everywhere we went it cost $40 even with Liam as the freebee. That was a little weird.
ReplyDeleteI totally LOVE Seattle and have visited there MANY a time! I have that very same "Welcome to America" picture...and boy was I glad to get back! It is difficult to know your speed in kilometers when they make those kilometer lines on the speedometer so small.
ReplyDeleteyou wife looks about a million times happier away from the edge.
ReplyDeletei don't like heights..but maybe, just maybe, i'd go up there for my kids. you'd probably catch me there sitting with supreme leader. though i have to say, i don't do roller coasters love or no love.
