weekend review

last saturday was amazing- in kent the temperature got to 76! awwwwww- hopefully it was enough to hold me over until the next sunny day. we had a great day. we started out at the pacific science center. they had free pony rides, and we couldn't resist. on the way there lucy told us she wanted to ride on the purple unicorn one... when we got there, fortunatly, she was just as pleased with the gray and white one. jett watched with awe from the sidelines.

we also got to see a butterfly release in the butterfly house- cousin abby and lucy were both enraptured. i've never seen so many butterfly's there before.

lucy discovered her inner photographer and took some great pictures. i had to watch out though because she liked to get a little too close to the butterfly's. some of the science center workers where watching her a bit nervously...

there was also a kinkajou to amaze at, a baby alligator blinking its double eyelid, hairy armadillos to laugh at, goats to feed, llamas to hug, and alpacas to pet (they are amazingly soft!). we loved it all.

we then strolled around the seattle center- the girls took a run through the fountain... luckily i had packed a spare set of clothes for little lucy jane. she fearlessly would stand right in a shower of water.

not ready to end our day just yet, we then let the kids take a nap in the car while john and i ate dick's hamburgers and did some more people watching. dick's was hopping and always brings out an interesting crowd. when the kids woke we drove over to gasworks park and tried some kite flying... the wind wasn't out though, but the crowds sure were.
