Fall=Football!!!!!!

Two weeks ago we got to go to our first UW football game, it was fun, I love football. They played Syracuse and won, hurray! I must say, UW football games are much more relaxing than BYU games for me. I have no emotional investment in the team and therefore I can just enjoy the football game regardless of the result. There is very little anxiety for me while I watch the game...and it is a good thing because UW is not going to have a very good season...last week they lost 56-21.

Miscellaneous Last Day

We went to Theo's Chocolate Factory and took a tour, it was really interesting and we got to eat lots of chocolate! VERY FUN! :D

Then we went and saw my office. Richard is holding up his favorite item in the office (it is part of our safe sleep kits). It is a onesie that says (on the back), "if you can read this, turn me over." It is cute and funny, we like it!

Then we got to go see Richard's building at UW, this is the classroom where he will be spending his life (all of his classes are in here)!

Beach and Burritos

One afternoon while they were visiting we went to Matthew's Beach, it is the best, and it is only like 2 minutes away from where we live.

A few weeks ago some friends told us about a place called Gordito's, their slogan is (no joke) "Burritos the size of infants." So of course we went there and got way more than we needed...three for four people, we had half of each left.

And when we went to order there was a sign that said if you bring in your newborn baby and let them take a picture of them next to one of their burritos you get a free burrito...needless to say, if we have a baby while we are in Seattle we will definitely be cashing in on our free burrito! :)

Biking and Pike Place

On Monday Richard and Jeff rode their bikes to work with me and then they went on a bike ride together.

I only worked 8-10am while they were in town, so after work we got to go down to Pike Place Market, have I mentioned that they have the most beautiful flowers there...and they are CHEAP!!!

Church and Aunt Gladys

On Sunday we went to church.

Then after church we went and visited Aunt Gladys. I don't think I have talked about Aunt Gladys on the blog yet. She is Richard's great-great-aunt (his Grandma Lee's aunt) and she just happens to be in our ward...SMALL WORLD! She is great, and she will be turning 100 this year!

TETRIS!

A few weeks ago we bought tetris for the wii and it is so fun! We spent A LOT of time playing tetris! :)

Susan was obsessed with it, she had a great time!

Gas Works Park

We also went to Gas Works Park, it is where we watched the 4th of July fireworks and it has an AMAZING view of downtown.

UW

Richard's parents and sister, Amanda, came up at the end of August to spend a few days with us. The next few posts are about their visit.

The first day that they were here we went and walked around UW campus, it is absolutely beautiful and it was fun to walk around.
