Seattle in December

We decided to go for a quick family get-away before Christmas to Seattle. We had a blast!Day#1 we spent at the Aquarium. The kids enjoyed touching all the creatures of the sea.
(Liv's favorite)
We also went on a harbor tour, very relaxing and fun to see seattle from the water. We had a great guide. (Averee's favorite)
Day#2 we went to the top of the space needle: awesome. (My favorite) They even had a Space Santa, Nykelle wasn't quite sure of him. Then we went to the Science Center where we could have spent the entire day and then some. We watched a movie on elephant's, my children were well educated on their habits if you know what I mean. Very cool place. (Braedon's favorite)
Day#3 we went to the Flight Museum. Another place we could have spent a day or two. We went on the AirForce One jet that JFK used, WWI and II museum full of fighters, music, etc of that time, space museum, and history of flight area. Needless to say extremely cool. (Justin's favorite)
Day#4 was a very wet Seattle day and our last stop was the Zoo. We didn't get to see its entirety, but we did get to see the baby gorilla named Uzumma meaning "bearer of joy to the family" which reminded us of our little monkey who has definitely brought alot of joy to all of us. Averee made friends with a penguin who would follow her finger, swimming up, down, and all around. All in all, it was an excellent trip with many hours spent at the hotel pool as well, of course. We can't wait to go back again some day.







Beauty School

So my brother came over one night in need of a haircut and wanted to give my girls a lesson in beauty school.
When it came down to it I don't think either party was 100% sure, but the party must go on...

...success! Thanks Sean! You truly are a sport. The girls had a ball.
