Fun at the Pool

This is the pool we joined for 2 months when we had Jake's b-day party. We try to use it as much as possible! Jayden and I like the hot tub and the boys like to tackle/ torture each other in the pool. There is also a weight room and pool and ping pong tables- which we actually went in on this particular visit (the weight room that is!)!

Olympics

Jonathan went to the Olympics in Vancouver with the Brown family. He said it was really crowded but fun! They went and walked around the village for 12 hours, so got the Olympic feel without attending any events.

Glass Quest

Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet

This year it was a western theme and the decorations were incredible! My den has big shoes to fill next year... when we are in charge of it on our own!

Puppy Day!

Jayden created "Puppy Day" on her own. She was so cute planning for it. The plans changed by the minute, but included burying herself in her little stuffed puppies and playing The Littlest Pet Shop game. Melissa joked that she was going to feed her dog food for lunch, and she thought that was really funny! She got so much attention from Puppy Day that she then wanted a Kitty Day and a Piggy Day (as in toes) and a Hand Day, and on and on... And there actually WAS a Kitty Day (pix to come) before she kind of forgot about it! Funny Girl!

Seattle Aquarium and the Waterfront

Jake, Jayden and I went downtown for a day of fun over President's Day weekend. Jonathan opted to stay home and play his guitar all day. We went to the aquarium (which I hadn't been to since Jake had just turned 4 and Jayden was a newborn with my friend Lisa!), walked along the waterfront and onto Pier ? with the merry go round and game area. We then walked up (actually we took an elevator) to Pike's Place Market to see the flying fish (only saw one cuz noone was buying). By then we were starving and planned to go to The Spaghetti Warehouse downtown to eat. However, they have funky lunch hours on weekdays and they were closed...as was the one in Lynnwood. We ended up at Red Robin in Smokey Point, which Jake actually prefers. By the time we sat down, we were ready to eat the napkins we were so hungry!!! Fun day! Can't say I am too impressed with that aquarium, but being down in the thick of the touristy area was fun... and something I hadn't done in a long time! I was nervous about the parking, but it worked out just fine...even parallel parking!
