Pacific Science Center

Matt got home from work this morning and we hopped on the ferry and headed for the science Center. We assembled ants, listened to a talking ant, learned about orbits and shot huge water guns! We had a great time!


















Did I mention the kids touched a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach? Fun!

Sydney Quote of the Day

Mom, I decided I'm not going to marry Saul!
~Sydney


As her mom I was relieved by this quote. Curious as to why she changed her mind I asked, " Why did you change your mind?"

Her reply, "Daddy said you can't marry your brother. You have to marry your friend. Girls have to marry boys." So now that we have that all figured out we are going to take a nap!

Sydney Quote of the Day

"Mom, you are a really good cooker!"
~Sydney


I'm sure you are all wondering what I cooked to deserve that comment. It was fish sticks, fries, honeydew melon, and chocolate milk! I out did myself! ;)

More Pics

So here the kids are riding a komodo dragon and Syd is checking out the wolf den! And finally our yummy dinner

The Butterfly Garden

We had some great photo ops just before entering the butterfly garden.. We followed in Fancy Nancy tradition and said, "Bonjour" to the butterflies we saw. As we all know, butterflies know french!







Here are some more pictures from our trip to the zoo and yummy dinner!

Family Adventure

Our friends Matt and Julie arranged a family adventure for us. Julie even made homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast! Yum. So here are pictures of us on our way to the zoo via the ferry.

Making Coffee

Saul decided we needed some coffee today! The funny thing is I was in the kitchen when he did this. My back was turned washing dishes!

Swimming Lessons

Here is Syd at her latest swimming lesson. She is really improving quickly now that she isn't so afraid to put her face in! I've been having difficulty uploading videos so you'll just have live with a picture for now. 

Painting the Sidewalk

Another beautiful day here in sunny WA brought us outside to paint the sidewalk.  The kids really like the pink and blue paint, but when we mixed them together it made an irresistable purple.
