Seattle Children's Museum and the Fair

Last Friday Doug and I took the kids and Cousin Alli to the Seattle Children's Museum. We have a membership to it, but haven't used it yet. We got it a few months ago for a really good deal from a deal of the day site (like groupon... but I think it was actually different site, but I'm not sure which...) It turned out to be really fun for the kids. We there for about 3 or 4 hours.

While walking there from out parking spot we passed this cool fountain. This kids liked watching it. On out way back there was actually a boy in the water playing and them some college aged boys starting sliding down the cement hill into it and trying to catch a frisbee on their way down. It was pretty entertaining...

One of the rooms was full of stuff from story books. So Alli is sitting in Mama Bear's chair. Doesn't it really look like she's sitting on a chair in a book?

There was a grocery store. Jordan pretended to be the baker and Alli bought some bread from him.

There was also a stage for the kids to play one. The danced around on it.

Jackson did some break dancing.

I just love little Kenzie in this picture. She's so cute!

We also went to the Puyallup Fair last week. I forgot to bring my camera and was pretty sad that I did that. But we survived and somehow still had fun. We looked at the animals and did the rides. Jordan was scared when we saw the cows. As soon as we walked in the first cow barn he covered his eyes and kept them covered until we left. He did that in the other cow barns too and started to in the other barns too until he saw they were smaller animals. He didn't want to walk in them at all though. Jackson didn't care much about the animals. He just wanted to ride the rides. We went in the morning and the little kid rides didn't open until an hour after we were there so we had to keep looking at animals until then. Jackson loved the rides. Jordan loved some of them. The second ride he went on was pretty fast (for a kids ride) and he was scared. He would try to smile at us as he went around, but I could tell he was scared. He was also scared of a jet ride. But he liked all the ones that went slowly around in a circle. He said his favorite rides were "the boat ride and the other boat ride." Jackson loved them all. He just wanted to keep riding them. The rides and food and games were supposed to be $2 the day we went. We were excited to see what foods they had for $2 and it turned out that they didn't have much so we were disappointed. We could have bought the boys a peanut butter sandwich for $2 though... But overall we had a fun time. I wish we had more time to see all the other stuff that was there. But we had to get Jack to preschool and Doug needed to work so we came home.
