Seattle Freeday Thursday
We went to Seattle on Thursday and enjoyed some great treats for free. On the first Thursday of the month, SAM(Seattle Art Museum) is free. The museum of flight is also free from 5-9. We checked out both and Pike Place.
First we parked below post alley and went to SAM. It was a little bit of a pain because they don't allow baby backpacks and Joanna and I both had a kid in one. So we had to borrow a stroller. It was cool to look around, although it is more for older kids/people. There were also a few things we had to shield the kids from. That being said, there were also some things that the kids enjoyed like the african manican things with masks. Many were kids sized.
Then we went to the car to feed the meter and headed back up to pike place. We walked around and bought some produce and flowers for mom. We also got a picture with the pig. We contemplated buying a salmon but I decided that it was too expensive. The kids were surprised yet again by the monk fish on a string. Then we headed back to the car down post alley and stopped by the gum wall. We didn't have any gum, but a guy was there with some friends and happily gave us some. The kids thought it was really cool.
2 blocks back to the car for another meter feeding and then 1 block over to Ivars. We decided to eat outside and the seagulls were everywere. Levi enjoyed feeding them. It's cool that the outside Ivar's fish bar is right next to the firestation. We also got to see some ferries come and go.
Then we loaded up and headed down to the museum of flight. Levi was in love with all the airplanes. Since he was very young he has always heard the airplanes flying over and been amazed. He loved sitting in the cockpits. In the world war I exhibit, it sounds like airplanes are flying all above you. He kept looking up, watchign for them.
The next day, the kids wrote about their favorite part of the day. I'll include them below.
Josh:
I went to the Ivar's seafood bar in Seattle. We sat outside next to the seagulls and the pigeons and the little birds. After we ate, we fed them the extra bread from the clam chowder I ate. They also liked the clumps of coleslaw we fed them and they fought over it. I love Ivar's.
Mackenzie:
I went to the gum wall with Josh. We stuck gum on the wall. It was fun. It is in Seattle. It is colorful. We half to go home now. The end.

Gramma Cathy and the Zoo
Gramma Cathy just moved into town and the kids are thrilled to be able to see her more often. She came over to visit for a couple of days and we went to the zoo. We also cleaned the garage and some bedrooms. Ahh... spring break. It started with 3 days of snow, so we were glad able to get outside and enjoy the sun.
