Photos From Daddy's iPhone

Daddy was at Bobs' soccer game before we left while I was at Kamryn's birthday party.

This year, the team is called the Blue Dino's.

These photos are from Spokane. The townhouse we rented is on a paved street, but some of the side streets are dirt roads.

We went to the river near the townhouse one evening to cool down.

This one is from Coeur D'Alene. There were a lot of flying ants there.

The battery on our main camera lost power when we arrived at the Space Needle.

Mads threw a tantrum at the Children's Museum and was quite a handful.

This fountain at Seattle City Centre was really fun for the kids. It put on a show with music. Then it shut off... so some of the kids walked towards it and put their hands on it, and then it turned back on again so they had to run back in order not to get wet. The crowd laughed.

We had lunch at Duke's and Mads' new stuffed clownfish Nemo was on the menu.

We visited the playground we played at two years ago in Seattle that was across from our hotel.

Then the boys wrestled on the grass. We are back at the hotel about to set up the movie, Finding Nemo.

Seattle Aquarium and Happy Mother's Day

Mads enjoys watching cartoons at the hotel in the evenings.

On Mother's Day, we went to the Waterfront after finding parking.

I was able to ask a bunch of questions that I had from pervious days of tide pooling. Starfish eat mussels and clams and oysters. Sea cucumber's suck up sand and expel it and certain types of snails with big shells make a really neat shaped sand "sculptures" that end up looking like plastic wheel wells, when in fact, if you touch one and look closely, it's just sand.

Mads absolutely loves fish and was really happy at the Aquarium. Bobs didn't really love it but he tolerated it.

Of course Mads's favourite fish is the clownfish from Finding Nemo.

We didn't go up the Space Needle, but we did go to the Children's Museum at the bottom. We also had  a nice Mother's Day lunch at Duke's Chowderhouse by the hotel we stayed at last time.

Happy Mother's Day to our mothers!!!

Golden Gardens Today and 2 Years Ago

2 years ago, Mads would run towards me and now he runs away when I want to take a photo.

Green Lake and Golden Park

Last night we BBQ'd at the hotel.

This morning we went to Green Lake for a walk around and Starbucks.

I love redwood trees.

Then we went to Golden... something rather, Park. We went there last time in Seattle as well.

Mads played for a really long time with his bucket and shovels in the sand.

You could hear seals barking in the distance. We found jellyfish and oysters.

Picnic Point and Mukilteo

In the morning we drove to Picnic Point and checked out the low tide. It was rather foggy.

We saw snails and crabs. When you turn over big rocks, you see all kinds of creepy crawlies.

Then we drove to Mukilteo. I have no idea how to say it as I didn't hear anyone local say it out loud. There is a small park and beach with a lighthouse.

I was happy to find a seaside seafood place with a great view of the ferry port.
