|
 |
|
| Lee needed something to do, so I set
them up with my copy of Redwall.
(3/12/23) |
|
 |
|
| Reading Redwall.
(3/12/23) |
|
 |
 |
| Somehow reading Redwall got harder.
(3/12/23) |
|
 |
|
| A truce? Perhaps.
(3/12/23) |
|
 |
 |
| A sudden, spontaneous tea party.
(3/12/23) |
|

 |  |
| After a very long drive, the kids had some energy to get out. (3/27/23) | |

 | |
| The
river otters were much more active than the sea otters, who were busy
eating crabs. But the sea otters were more fun to sing about...
(3/28/23) | |
 | |
| To the tune of "The Trolley Song": "Chomp, chomp, chomp goes the otter, Snap, snap, snap goes the crab, Spin, spin, spin goes the otter... From the moment I saw them I swam!" (3/28/23) | |
 |  |

 |  |
| Tentacle attack! (3/28/23) | |
 |  |
| The
full downtown Seattle experience -- lots of treats, perusing Pike
Place, amazing skyline, and getting lost looking for our car in the
maze of parking lots. Everything except for flying fish!
(3/28/23) | |
 | |
| Enjoying the baked goods we bought at Pike Place beside the best playground in the universe and a giant mandala. (3/28/23) | |
 |  |
| While
wandering around the base of the space needle, we discovered the
Chihuly Garden and Glass museum was open for another 45 minutes...
(3/28/23) | |
 | |
| Look, a ceiling! (3/28/23) | |
 | |
| Surrounded by color and beauty. (3/28/23) | |

stopped to get Italian sodas near where the granitas stand used to be,
and Lee ran around barking at ducks just like Patrick used to.
(3/29/23) | |
 | |
| On our way out of town, we stopped at The Museum of Flight. (3/29/23) | |
 | |
| Standing in front of a B-17, the kind of plane their Grandpa Wes flew in WWII. (3/29/23) | |
 |  |
| There were a lot of fun, interactive displays at the Museum of Flight. (3/29/23) | |
 |  |
| And
a lot of cool space stuff! After looking at all the planes and
things, we picked up dinner at Uwajimaya, and then our Seattle trip was
done. (3/29/23) | |
