A Trip to the Pacific Science Center

We drove down to Seattle yesterday for a follow up with the doctor for Lainey's stomach ailments. We got a great report and all is well; we're really thankful for that. After leaving the doctor's office we met our friend Jen and her kids as well as a new friend Tiffany and her son and had lunch and then went to the Pacific Science Center. Now we'd already arranged going to the Pacific Science Center before we left Blaine yesterday morning, but weren't sure where we'd be having lunch, but as it all worked out the restaurant we at lunch at just happened to have a deal that included a free kid's admission to the Science Center with the purchase of something from the kids menu. I LOVE it when deals like that fall into your lap! The Science Center was great fun and all of the kids loved it. We saw all sorts of things. Levers, weights, bugs, snakes (3 Boa Constrictors that I'll be having nightmares about for months to come), dinosaurs, and butterflies. It was great fun and we got some good pictures of the kiddos enjoying themselves.

Sarah Grace and Alethia; Alethia kept bending over the tube which made her hair stand straight up which then made Sarah Grace cackle! Too cute!
