Beach and Science

The children don't have camp anymore, but school doesn't start for another week and a half.
So, this week, we went to the Science Center a couple times, plus the beach one day.
The squirrel was one of the first things we saw at the beach.

Maggie had fun in the sand.
Lilly wouldn't go in the water or play in the sand.
She only wanted to lay in the sun.
So, the beach pictures are only of Maggie.

Maggie's hand is orange because of the shovel she found to dig with.

The handle was an orange color and it was wood, so it stained her.

Maggie made the towel like a cape and wanted me to take a picture of the shadow it made.

There was this huge bee's nest at the hospital earlier in the week.

They had to make a barrier and have it taken down.

Holland America Cruise people came to make us dinner and provide activities earlier in the week.

Maggie won these sunglasses.

Andy came to visit again, and brought Maggie's shoes that were in his car.

They are so beat up, but look so comfy.

We went on a LONG walk by Lee's house.

It was about 2 1/2-3 miles long, and it seemed like the walk was uphill both ways.

The spots are from the camera lens that needs to be cleaned.

The girls were running up and down each side.

Andy and Maggie with their ferns.

On our way back, we went through a nice neighborhood.

One house had grass "just like at Safeco Field!!"

It was literally like a plush carpet.

While Andy visited, we went to the Science Center again.

The girls waited in line for over an hour to do the acrobatic bungee, but we ran out of time before we had to go to our Imax movie and leave for a chemo appointment.

So, hopefully next week we'll be able to go back and maybe get on the acrobat bungee.

The glasses below are for the 3d movies.

On our way home, we saw a blimp for Farmer's Insurance.

I don't like the company, but the blimp was cool!

Metropolitan Market had their first annual Movie in the Park to benefit the Ronald McDonald House in Seattle.

Here is the projector screen that was used.

They had hot dogs, ice cream, popcorn, basket giveaways, and we got to watch Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

It was such a fun night and almost as good as going to the drive-in.

Oh, and there was a bouncy house.

The girls let me take their picture, but Josh tried not to let me take his.
