Field Trip

Before school started back up I wanted to reward the girls for doing such a great job. They have done very well in their paces and their book/word charts! We all went on a field trip to the Seattle Aquarium. I think I took a record number of photos! It was very difficult deciding which photos to upload. It was a really neat place and I would definitely recommend visiting if your ever in the area.
 
 
 
We thought finding a place to park was going to be horrible but it wasn't. We got a space right across the street from the aquarium.



Yup, this fish had only one eye!

You had to be careful around this tank or you might get splashed with water. There was a mermaid in it that would splash water on you. Ha Ha, just kidding. It was the crashing waves exhibit.

The touch pool where you could touch the plants that grow and starfish. The girls were hard to convince to touch it though.

We did get to see a Giant Pacific Octopus but the picture came out too blurry and dark.
 
 
Jellyfish

This fish looked like it had actual lips!




Seahorses! Our favorite tank I think.

Can you find the fish in this tank?
 
It was hidden very well. The only thing we saw moving was it's eyes!


 
 
The Underwater Dome was really neat. Lilly took this picture of a shark.

 

 
 
We couldn't help ourselves being so close to one of the few Krispy Kreme's in the area. We got loaded with lots of sugar for the drive home.

Snow Day







 
The girls had so much fun sliding down the driveway today.
The video is of Samuel's first time down and he laughed the whole way.
Olivia did a good job holding on to him.
 
Chris's mom sent us some homemade pumpkin butter
and told us it was good on graham crackers with whipped
cream on top, so we gave it a try. It was AMAZING!!
That with Chris's homemade hot chocolate made a great
snack after being outside in the cold.
