We had a great time in Seattle this weekend with the kids and our nephew Kayleb. Our first stop of the day was the Science Center. The kids always have a blast there with all of the interactive exhibits and games, dinosaurs, butterfly garden, fountains and much much more.
There main exhibit right now is Animal Grossology. It was hilarious! Each station had a different gross animal fact and an activity to do. The kids really liked this room.
We made it to an IMAX showing of Night at the Museum while we were there. The whole family loved it. (It’s BrUndon) Ha Ha!
On our walk over to the Space Needle we ran into all of the carnival rides and had a little time to kill before our dinner reservations so we stopped to play.
The Space Needle was super spendy for a family of eight but the experience was totally worth it. The kids loved looking out the window as the whole restaurant moved slowing in a circle during dinner. They wrote notes on their drink coasters and propped them up in the window sill to see if we would make it back to them by the time our dinner was done.
One of the best parts of dinner was to watch the kids faces as their dessert was brought out to them. Oh, the excitement! They had lunar sundaes. The ice cream sundae dish sat suspended over dry ice which made smoke spill out of their desserts covering our whole table. It was quite the presentation.
A little hotel swimming to finish up our evening.
Saturday, Day 2: The Aquarium, Puget Sound, Curiosity Shop, and the Woodland Park Zoo.
We headed down to Pike Place Market and the Sound to start out our adventures for today. We walked down to the Aquarium and had a lot of fun looking at all kinds of fish and underwater creatures. I think the family’s favorite was watching the octopus swim around.
We walked around down by the ocean, walked through a few shops and ate lunch at Ivars. (Here’s Kayleb’s purchase from the curiosity shop. A Whip. Like a real Indiana Jones Whip. I asked him what he was going to use it for and he told me, “ To keep his mom in line, make sure she doesn’t give him any lip :) Yeah Right.
Dan kept all of our little ducks in a row down the busy Seattle streets. (Hut 234)
We finished out the rest of our day at the Zoo. The kids two favorite things at the zoo were feeding the giraffe’s (So Cool!) and playing inside of all of the different animals home’s. Lots of fun!
After all of this fun packed into two days it was time to head home. Great Vacation!

The science place is way fun. I went on a trip there to see Dan once with Brittanie. I have a picture of me in front of the dinosaurs. The same one with Hudson. I REALLY want to go to that aquarium! That looks like it was SO MUCH FUN!
Looks like you guys packed lots of fun into those 2 days! I love getting away and just playing with the kids, we don't do it often enough! They are getting so big:)
I can't believe you guys did so much in that amount of time. Seattle is great, especially when the sun is shining. Did your kids love the howler monkeys? They were our favorite?
