Feral Freckles...

Hello Everyone...
It's been crazy around here. We were grilling some ribs when there was an awful snorting coming from the rock pile. Along with the snorting..which we knew was an armadillo...there was a wailing.

We chased the armadillo away and found this..the rarest of sights...Feral Freckles!!!! Seeing a FF is on the same level seeing Big Foot.  The story goes like this...Several years ago,when Mama B was still just plain B, there was an accident in the lab.  A Mega Freckle escaped from his travel box and knocked over all the boxes too. Several escaped by the lab window.There have been sightings but this is the first photo.

I know Momma B loves Halloween...thought I would hide in the pumpkin when it was finished and then roll down the street to find her. BUT NO...that little boy scooped me up and gave me back to Grammie B. Who is he anyways and why does he keep finding me?

I WANT TO GO HOME !!

This place is boring. There aren't any other Freckles here to talk to!! I know Momma B is close..I can smell her Cherry Blossom perfume. I can follow it home if I could escape. I hid in the yard and was waiting until dark but was captured!

I'm not done yet...

Seattle's newest attraction

Tonight we went out to see the newest attraction on the Seattle waterfront, it is called the Seattle Great Wheel.  It is a huge Ferris Wheel.

Some nights they do a light show with the lights on the sides of the wheel, it was really fun to watch.

They were able to do a lot of different patterns with those flashy lights.

Locks and Ladder

Today we headded to a place called Ballard.  I heard Amy and Dan saying something about locks and ladders but I have no idea what that means.

We arrived at the locks!

Found this thing that Amy said ships tie up to but I think it is a buttfreckle hiding place since I fit in here perfectly.  There was room for a few more buttfreckles in the other holes too.

We found this great sculpture, it hat the perfect place for me to sit for a picture.  I love how the metal curves.  I could have sat here all day but we needed to see the ladder.

This is a fish ladder.  Didn't know fish could climb a ladder.

We went inside to the viewing area and we saw slamon climbing the fish ladder.  Dan explained that the fish ladder was made so the fish could get from Puget Sound to Lake Washington after the locks were built since the locks block passage between the lake and sound.

There were lots of people looking at the fish in the ladder, there is even someon counting the number of fish that pass through.

This is one of the locks, it was built because the height of the water in Puget Sound is different than the water in Lake Washington.  Boats go in one of the locks and the water level is raised or lowered so the boats can go on their way.

 

As we were leaving a flock of birds flew over just as the sun was setting.  The weather here has been nice, I thought it was suppose to be rainy in Seattle.

What is under the bridge???

Today Amy and Dan wanted to show me a popular place to visit in Seattle and boy was I in for a surprise.  We drove just north of the city and crossed a bridge and then wound our way down to below the bridge.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this giant troll who lives under the bridge.

 

He is the Freemont Troll and lives under the Aurora Bridge.  He is a nice troll and I was able to sit on his hand to get a picture with him.  There lots of people coming to visit the troll while we were there.

 

The troll is huge, you can see that there is a full size volkswagon beetle under his hand,

 

The troll lives on Troll Ave. N, someone gave the street sign eyes over the O.

 

Next stop is dinner at a drive in called Dick's, it is a popular place to get a great hamburger in Seattle.

 

 

We had a Dick's Deluxe burger, fries and a strawberry shake.  Boy was it a great meal and another great day in Seattle!

What an awesome view!

Today we went for a drive and Amy's son Brandon found the perfect place for me to sit in the car.  He said it was a cup holder but I think it was a custom buttfreckle seat!

We went to this awesome place called Kerry Park where you could see the whole city.  Amy told me that on a clear day you can even see Mount Rainier beyond the city.

A bunch of friends got to come along so we got a group shot in front of the city.  It sure is a beautiful place!
