September and October

September held a birthday party for the HoBo twins (that's Amy and Kayla).







 In October, Amy started doing college algebra. 

And we celebrated Halloween. Lacey was Rapunzel and Amy was a fairy.










August 2013


We loved the playground at the mall in Bellevue. 







Lacey pretending to be perry.


Going on a nature walk. Lacey got kind of freaked out cuz she thought we'd get lost. But we didn't get lost. We loved all the green.



On Amy's birthday, we went to the "beach" for the last time. We loved this little park on Lake Sammammish.




She got books for her birthday.

And eventually we made it home, and Lacey was very excited to be able to start school again. :)

Pacific Science Center

This past Saturday we had lots of fun at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle City Center. I think that of all the places that we've been so far, this has been my favorite. We only saw about half of the exhibits (if that), so I think we may have to try to go back again before we leave.

 Lacey was fascinated with the half-toilet, and probably would have stood there flushing it all day if i hadn't dragged her away to look at all the other cool things. 



 There were some really fun mirrors.


 And a really big zipper.


 And a big weight.






 And some more fun mirrors. Silly daddy. :)


 Included in the price of our ticket was admission to an IMAX show, Flight of the Butterflies in 3D. It was the girls' first time in a movie theater, and they both did really well. Here's Amy wearing her 3D glasses. Lacey immensely enjoyed this show. I think that the best part was all the kids in the theater trying to grab the butterflies out of the air. :) 


 We got to sit at a giant table.


 And stand inside a giant guitar.

We were all pretty hungry by this time, so we headed to the Armory food court for lunch.


We obviously had a lot of fun. :) 


Visit from cousins

One day this month, we got a visit from my aunt and cousins. It was so so so much fun to see them, and Lacey and Amy sure did have fun playing with the kids (these cousins are closer to Lacey's age than mine).


Woodland Park Zoo

Lacey was SO excited to see penguins. 







 Somehow these little spinny info signs are the funnest things in the zoo. 






Go-rill-a. 

Amy watched this little meerkat run back and forth for ages.
