Grandma's Visit: Pig Hunt at Pike Place Market

On the Sunday of Grandmas's visit, Ashley was feeling unwell. James stayed home with her while Janet, Caitlin and I headed downtown to Pike Place Market to meet my friend Linda and her husband Rick. It was raining on and off and unfortunately we'd missed the Pigs on Parade by a day. They had all been removed from their various places around town in order to be auctioned off next week. A little disappointed we nonetheless had some fun exploring the market (and discovering other pigs) before we settled into a nearby Tully's for tea and a chance for Caitlin to play with "colored Cliffords".
