April fools day - Pike Place




Today it's the 1 April, which means fools day! I'm really bad in fooling people cause I always can't help laughing ;) No one fooled me, except Sofia's: "Look there...haha baby book, baby book, now you're in the baby book!"
When my family had woke up and had breakfast, they came here and we all took the bus in to Seattle for the first time. It's cheap and U don't have to worry about finding a parking lot, paying or get parking damages like a door in the side or sth.
It was cold and windy but we weren't outside for so long. I took them to Pike Place Market, that I really like. It's a small indoor market that has everything from flowers and food to t-shirts and photo frames. Most of it is handmade and there are some really nice paintings and photos.
I don't know what they thought of it but they got to see when they throw fish at one place and that's cool.
We found a place where U could buy t-shirts and sweaters with prints on. U choose the sweater, or whatever u want, and then a print and they make it for u direct in the store. It's really cool and Robin bought a hood with a cool print on the back. Dad bought a Seattle t-shirt and cap ;)
We went to the Westlake Center and had lunch. It's pretty hard dealing with Filip's teeth cause we always have to really think of what he can eat. And it's hurting a lot and it's hard for him. But we found some chili soup that was OK.
The kids wanted to go home so I took them back on the bus while the others stayed to look around some more. Oh, I wish I had vacation while they were here as well cause I want to be with them and show them stuff. It's kind of hard when U have to worry about two small kids. But it was OK, Robin and Eric went with us home and there they played with them so I didn't have to do anything ;) They all played Nerf war (a shooting gun with soft arrows) and then we also went outside and played some sports. They play really good together and I can see that the kids having a great time.
When mum and the others came home, Robin went with them to their place but Eric stayed. I wanted to have dinner at their place tonight so me and Eric should come later.
Both Eric and Filip are so bad losers that they got a bit upset on each other so they didn't play in the end. But I think it'll be over tomorrow cause all friends fight from time to time.
I made dinner for the family and when they got home, me and Eric went to the house. The dinner was soon ready and I tried to connect to the Internet but we needed a security key so I went upstairs to the owners and asked for it. They are really nice and have two cute dogs that barks a lot! I said hallo to them when I was upstairs and they were so soft.
We had "Korv stroganoff" for dinner and it was super! It's a sausage dish and I think it's Swedish but I'm not sure. After dinner, some played cards but me and Robin started to watch Free Willy ;) They have so many old Disney movies and they have a VCR!! It's so cozy in their apartment and it has an "old" feeling that is welcoming. The open gas fire makes it even more cozy. It was so nice just to sit there and hang out with my family. I want it to be like that always!
Reluctantly, I went back home cause I was tired but we decided to go to IKEA tomorrow to get some food for Easter!

Miss U all!
Love Sandra.
