Hello from Seattle

We picked a great day to visit Jessica's friend Tracy in Seattle. We
walked and had lunch around Pikes market. Shelby and Luke had a good
time watching the fish be tossed. Martin

Swimming with the trout

I was having a hard time keeping Luker from trying to get an
underwater view of the trout. We had a fun time feeding the fish.

Here is Shelby getting attacked by some salmon.

fishing pole. That is one big rainbow trout. Martin

Here we are at the worlds largest petting zoo in southern Oregon. We
got to pet a African lion cub, pather and hold a 3 week old cougar
cub. We fed deer, lamas, donkeys, billy goats and turkeys too. It was
a really neat experience.
