Exploring Seattle

The boys arrived in Seattle laaaaate last night and came to see their new home.  I’m happy to say they loved it!  In fact, they wanted to stay up and play all night but around 1:30 we convinced them that it was really nighttime and they did in fact NEED to go to bed.  No house pictures yet; we are still setting up, and it doesn’t help that our little tornados are here!  But today we went to the Essential Baking Company for breakfast, and in the afternoon we went to the zoo!

The boys loved the inanimate objects.  Eli sat for a long time in this boat, navigating with his “nap”. 

Then Brian joined him.  I loved how it was called Los Amigos. 

The meerkats were popular because we could actually see them, unlike most of the other animals. 

Mostly the kids were excited by the animal statues. 

Komodo dragon statue (we saw the tail of the real thing)

Lion statue (couldn’t see the real thing at all)

Hippo statue ( they thought this was the real thing)

Cow statue with moving wheels (petting zoo was closed). 

So that was our trip to the zoo; not a whole lot of animal sightings, but a good time nonetheless!
