Federal Way and Beyond

First, the link to the photos!

One of our first adventures was a trip to the Zoo. Zachary wore his Oakland Zoo hat, way to represent! We spent quite a bit of time watching the walruses do swim bys of the underwater viewing area.

Zachary really enjoyed watching the fish in the aquarium too. Let's see, we also saw some apes, a tiger, and elephants. The kids' area was really cool, if we lived near there, I would get a membership just to hang out in the play area. Alex's highlight of the day had to be his camel ride!

Alex had some other firsts this week too. G was much braver than me and let him do some finger painting. Alex made a few different pictures and then picked one for me to bring home. It is hanging on the fridge. Our first artwork! G set up a big boy bed for him too. Alex slept there for his naps and adjusted to it so well. Don't get ahead of us~I'm keeping him in the safety of his crib as long as I can!

The 4 of us journeyed to Seattle for a day. Somehow I didn't get any pictures of this adventure. Odd. Anyway, we met Alene and Mark for breakfast, drove to Golden Gardens (just a drive-by this time), a quick tour of Queen Anne, Pike Place Market, and the Coast Guard Pier.

Phil and I totally took advantage of having "babysitters" on call. We went out at night! (gasp) Nichole met us for a night with the Mariners. They lost, as usual, but it was fun and the views are amazing.
There was a lot of time spent driving the car in the driveway, blowing bubbles, playing with toys, cuddling and being adorable! Thank you G and Grandpa for all of the good memories!
