Did you know that Seattle has a troll living under a bridge? They do and he is gigantic. We took a pic of just his hand so you can see how big he really is.
And Yes that is a real VW Car under his left hand.

Our next stop was the Ballard Locks. The Ballard Locks are designed to help boats transfer from Lake Washington and Lake Union into The Puget Sound. It's really cool to watch the boats get lowered and raised to even out the water levels of the two different bodys of water. The locks also help to prevent the mixing of salt water and fresh water. They even have something called a "Fish ladder" to help the salmon migrate each year to lay their eggs. One of the levels of the ladder has a window for viewing. The peak season was a couple weeks ago so we only saw two confused fish swimming back and forth. This is a picture of one of the anchors they use to tie up large boats when they are waiting for the channel to fill up with other boats so they can raise or lower the locks. We saw a lot of really expensive boats. Some of the boats had smaller boats inside and even a motorcyle on board.

Our last stop of the day was a trip for the adults. We went on a tour of a local brewery called Red Hook Brewery. The tour is one hour long and you get to sample 6 different types of beer. (Don't worry, we didn't try any, it was just for the adults.) The tour was still very interesting and the tour guide was really funny so we all had fun.

SEA-AT-LE SOUND-ERS SEA- AT-LE SOUND-ERS I learned a new cheer today. We all got to go see a soccer match today. It was the Seattle Sounders vs Real Salt Lake. The way to do the cheer is one side of the stadium says Seattle, and the other side says Sounders. It was really fun and loud and the whole place was chanting along. Look at all the people in the background. There were over 30,000 people there!
The game ended in a tie so nobody won or lost. But I think that the fans always win when they cheer for their team.

Wow what a hot day! We all went to an event called "Sausagefest" today. It was really neat. They had food vendors set up that all had beef or sausage and they even had a bacon flavored beer that my host tried. She said she didn't like it too much but it was worth a try. The best treat was the icecream at the end after a really hot day of food and entertainment.

Hello Mom! I've made it safe and sound to the cold state of Maine! Now I'm staying with Mya and her family - she was so excited to see me that she squealed! I'm sure I'm going to have lots of adventures in Maine... Mya says we can go to an Open Mic tonight to hear some music, and afterwards to a dance class... Yay!
I miss you so much! <3
