I know, I know, we just had a birthday post, but here is the documentation of the big day itself. Unfortunately, it was a cold and rainy day, so no trip to the zoo like we’d planned. As a backup, you decided we should go check out the science museum. It was raining so hard we even scrapped plans to ride the bus to downtown and decided to drive. Of course, one of the perks of driving is that you can make whatever stops along the way you feel like making, and since it was your birthday, I decided we should get a snack of donuts! And not just any donuts, but Mighty-O donuts, which are apparently famous.
Faced with the case full of donuts, the first thing you did was decide on a sprinkles donut for Eli. What a sweet big brother! We finally made it to the Pacific Science Center, and managed to get the last spot in the garage. It was so tight, we had to unload you guys before pulling the car in! It was a taste of life in the city; I am wondering how much of this all you guys will understand, or remember. It’s pretty different than Rochester!
Once we were in the museum, we spent a while in the science playground:
before heading over to the tot zone, where we found…
tidepools!
a cool water table!
a car! And some other cool stuff we didn’t take pictures of! Eli was NOT getting out of that car, so you and I wandered over to see the bug exhibit. From there we met up with Dad and Eli over in the…
dinosaur room! We were in the right place at the right time to see a live snake show, and then we headed over to the butterfly garden to cap off our visit.
We made our way outside, where we found ourselves in the middle of the:
YUM!
First up: a giant corndog!
Eli and I had some rice, pad thai, and coconut shrimp, then on to the hit of the party:
A nutella crepe for dessert! Mostly you guys were debating what color drink you were going to get and I had to break it to you that were were not buying a $6 cup o’ food coloring, but in fact buying the lovely dessert that was being made RIGHT OVER THERE.
Now we get it!
It was devoured. After this we headed home for nap time, and our only other outings for the day were an ill fated trip to Trader Joe’s that doesn’t bear remembering, and an ill fated bike ride with dad that is also best forgotten. We got this yummy cake, though!
Happy birthday to our sweet boy! I hope this year in Seattle will be the best year yet!
