Pacific Science Center

The past week was a wild adventure. To start, one of Gideon's and my walks we walked so far we could see downtown in the distance. We also saw some interesting flowers!

 Later we went to the park next to a community center and library (Seattle's so big it has a bunch of libraries that operate kind of like redbox, from what I understand).  As we looked for a parking spot, I had to laugh. Most spots were marked "Compact", but that didn't stop this row of 3 minivans, 3 suvs, and a full size car from sqeezing in. In Seattle, you park wherever you can!

Then this weekend we started out at the Pacific Science Center. We had a good time at their outdoor water experiments (like this wheel Trevor is using to move water).

Then we went through their butterfly house. The butterflies were HUGE and very brazen.

Here's one of the indoor experiments seeing which substances slide the fastest on different surfaces.

 As you can see, we also sentenced Gideon and Trevor to the "chair". This chair has a vibrator in the seat and you put down "pads" made of different substances to see how it changes how the vibration feels. Wood, Plastic, foam, turf, and rubber were some options we tried.

After the PSC, we walked down to the Olympic Sculpture Park. Parking isn't very easy or cheap here, so we found a cheap place to park and had to walk everywhere. Good thing we have a stroller!  After the sculpture park, Trevor chose the Hard Rock Cafe for his Father's Day dinner. By the time we were going home, Gideon wasn't the only one a little tired!

On Sunday, I made him breakfast sandwiches, which is one of our favorites. Egg, cheese, and bacon on an English muffin. So much better than the fast food ones when you make it yourself!  Then at church they do Pie for Priesthood here. They had so much pie, not only the priesthood, but the relief society and primary got some with enough to still give the rest to another ward! Ah, I love holidays. So much fun!

Gideon is getting good with his hands, grabbing, dropping, and throwing toys. He is a rollover expert and can sit as long as he has interest. He has slept through the night twice now and hopefully we'll get a lot more of that before he starts teething!
