Seattle

Two weeks ago Drew's daycare was "off" for a break between summer and fall semesters (yes, it does bug us that daycare has semesters and that there is time off...) Anyway, we decided to take advantage of the time off and took a trip to the Northwest. First off - Seattle, WA to visit the Peepers.
If you didn't know already, Craig is famous for his homemade waffles and whipped up a batch on Sunday morning. The kids helped out and I was pleased with the makeshift planets smock that Erik fashioned.

We went to the zoo where the highlight was the Jaguar who was up and playing and - eating MEAT!! It's hard to see in this picture, but it was basically walking around with a carcass in its mouth.

Then, we played indoors and outdoors. Erik told me that it would be cold there (like 60s is cold or something). Whoa nellie! 60s is cold and I didn't really pack for the occasion. It also rained a lot so we stayed indoors more often than we ventured outdoors. Luckily for all of us the Peepers own a new train table which kept everyone pretty much occupied. It also forced a trip to the toy store so that Drew could indeed have his very own pieces of train that were different from Lily's own pieces of train.
Ah, toddlers!
