Guide to "More Seattle" photos


A few of the photos at right may need an explanation. Under "More Seattle" you see 5 pics of N and O at the Pacific Science Center touching the creatures in the tidal pool and sitting in the big chairs. Then there are two pictures of us tasting flavored honeys at the Pike Place market. Then CD got a few neat shots of Mt. Rainer. The first is looking our of our Pike Place parking garage and across Quwest Field/Safeco field toward the south. The next two were taken from the Drumheller fountain (which was turned off) on the campus of UW. Then there are several pictures from our sunset trip to Gas Works park. The kids enjoyed log rolling down the hills toward the lake. Natalie just lost her first tooth Sunday afternoon when we were out and about. She felt sad about giving it to the tooth fairy so she made us take a picture of it Ultimately, she kept the tooth and instead drew a picture and wrote a note to the tooth fairy in lieu of forfeiting her tooth. The tooth fairy found her sweet note/picture and gave her a "Sacagawea" coin anyway. The remaining pictures are of the amazing UW Arboretum. Check out that Birch Bark Cherry (#142). It feels and looks like burgundy satin ribbons. Natalie enjoyed filling out the "Arbor Kids" workbook and I was excited to finally meet a Larch tree (#146) while Oliver loved to run up to the pond and wait for the ducks to come near him.
