Seattle.. day 2.

**Sorry for posting pictures so late**

So today was a day of finallys. We final found this park called "Kerry Park", we finally got a chance to go to the troll bridge and get a picture, and it finally stopped raining..


So the first thing we did today was go to "Kerry Park".. This is a park just up the street from where we are staying, and it has an amazing view of the downtown Seattle area.. I took some pictures and we headed out..

This picture was taken by me and the camera was set on a timer.. So after several times of me running back and forth and restarting the timer, someone asks me, "Do you want me to take your picture for you?" to which I responded, "No, I like doing it this way?". I don't really know what I was trying to say, but that worked..

After we hung out at the look out area, we headed down these stairs and found this amazingly weird playground..

All the things for the kids to play on were not normal playground stuff. They did have a rock climbing wall and some great slides. We played for a while and Josiah had some fun..

After playing, we headed back up the stairs, got back in the car and drove to the troll bridge.. I not sure exactly what it is called, but it is the famous sculpture of a giant troll under this bridge, and in his left hand there is an old style bug cemented into the thing.

The plaque said that it was an art project that they voted on and this won. There was a lot of people that helped and some funding as well.. Pretty cool.

QUESTION: Can anyone remember what movies this guy has been in?.

Our next destination was to our old friends Eli & Holly's house. They live about 40 minutes away and they also have a kid, so we planned on going over there pretty early in the day and couldn't play much else to do. So we headed to their house, which was in a town/city called Issaquah. We got there and ate some chili, and home made cornbread.. We also got a tour of their amazing house, we met their child Ethan, and their dog Hobie.. We had blackberry cobbler for dessert, and Holly said that the blackberries grow all over the place there, like weeds. It was good food, good times, with good friends..

After that we went back to the house and Josiah fell asleep on my chest, which made me fall asleep for a bit, and then Bethany came in and woke me up.. I got up and wrote this blog.. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of our trip.. Eugene, OR. Until tomorrow..
