Din Tai Fung - Bellevue

After the Salmon Run, we went to Bellevue for lunch at Din Tai Fung. It's a dumpling place that serves dumplings with broth inside, which Van loves. The food was OK, but it was fun seeing Sophie eat rice cake and dumplings. She loved it!

Yummy tea

I love rice cakes

Left over for dinner

Salmon Run - Cedar River, Renton

On Saturday, we took Sophie to Cedar River in Renton for the salmon run. This is when adult salmon return to where they were born to spawn. But not all of them would make it. It was quite a site of struggle and survival.

Where are the salmon?

It's cold!

Salmon. There they are.

Birthday

It was my birthday on Friday. But Sophie made it hers. She blew out the candles, and she picked out the movie at Blockbuster. Then when she was bored with the movie, she banged on the cookie sheet to get our attention.

2 candles. It must be my birthday again!

Make a wish, daddy!

Fall in Seattle

Fall is finally here. The rain is back, and the leaves are turning yellow around Green Lake. And Sophie just blends right in with her yellow rain coat.

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend, we took a break from hiking to do something different. We took Sophie to a pumpkin patch in Edmonds. It was very small, but it was the closest one to us. We saw chickens, cows, sheep, pigs, goats and a bunch of pumpkins!

Pumpkins?

Jackpot!

I got my pumpkin, mommy!

 

Eat chicken! Eat!
