Seattle

This was a school wake-up Saturday morning, where we get up as if we have school.  Out the door to Sofia's soccer game by 7:20.  Uggh.  Her game was at Starfire in Tukwila.  Home of the Seattle Sounders.  Great fields, snack bars, coffee stands, stores, indoor heated restrooms ... made it much nicer.

They lost, but it was a good game.

JH had a basketball game, scored 8 points.  He was full of himself.

This weekend was initially on my calendar as a trip to Kiyo's lakehouse.  I had invited the cousins to attend too.  Once that got postponed, I thought we could take a day trip.  Unfortunately Ravae and Lukas had other plans and B is MIA, so I just had Rhea and Mateo.

We were on the road by 12:30.

First stop Pacific Science Center.  Dinosaur, body and butterfly exhibits.  A $3 "treat" at the store.  Riding the space shuttle.  Touching anemone (don't put your finger in their hole).  Exploring the Seattle Center grounds.  Listening to a street vendor play the sax.  Following a group of people dressed in foil, like robots.  Playing in the fountain, while it's on and raining.  Making bets to see who could touch the silver dome without getting wet (they all got wet).  Riding the monorail to Westlake Center to see Ashli. Out to dinner.

Here, they are ... Sofia is now wearing Alex's wet sweatshirt since her shirt was soaked.

On the monorail, heading back to the parking garage.

9pm home.

I think they had fun, I know I did.

I took lots of pictures with Ashli's new camera.  But the pics live with her.  The only ones I have here to share are from my iPhone.  So, as usual, excuse the quality.

Good night.
