Rewind Day 3 ; Seattle Pacific Science Center

So the same day we went on the Duck Ride we also went to the Pacific Science Center across the street. I love the science center but it's so big you need an entire day or a little time each day for a few days to actually see everything. I went to the laser show there one time in my preteen/teen years and it was cool so we did that with the kids. Alana plugged her ears nearly the whole time because they did the show to very very loud Queen music lol but she loved it.. but dont dare take her hands from her ears haha! I tried to take a few pics but you can't have flash in there and you can't show the camera screens because that stuff messes with the lasers and viewing experience lol so I was taking pictures with the screen against my jeans lol.

This is the best I got.. sad isn't it?

Big rotating water ball



The Hamster wheel! lol this was fun.





Water guns





Music room in the kiddie play area




The big table and chairs




Butterfly exhibit.. Alana grabbed at least 3 butterflies. On the way out she grabbed one when we were being inspected to be butterfly free.. and the woman behind us (I was told, I didnt see) apparently dropped her jaw like Alana just grabbed the pope by the neck. Sheesh it's just a butterfly! and she didn't stomp on it she just grabbed it lol.






Butterflies look like grasshoppers with wings.. did u know that?


I so thought this one was dead but it was alive.. is it supposed to look like this? doubt it and it didnt fly away or get spooked so I assume something was wrong with it?

Huge guitar, they also had a piano and other musical stuff




We were too beat for the space needle but had to walk by it back to the car..maybe another day.

Rewind Day 2 ; Seattle Aquarium

We also went to the Seattle Aquarium in August. I went alone. I am crazy. Donni was being extra cranky so we weren't there long and truth be told I was kind of disappointed with the aquarium really. I was expecting cool sharks or something and I got.. NEMO. Not only that but it was packed and I could barely maneuver a stroller around all the people. People would walk in front of us to look in the tanks when we had been waiting and they can see just fine from behind us or wait their damn turns.. I have little kids who cannot see over 6 foot tall people hell I can't even see over most adults needless to say I was a bit cranky because Donni was cranky.. and the other people just made it that much worse!

Just reminded me why at the moment I tend to leave him out when it comes to stuff like this.. he's in that stage where he hates the stroller, he hates being held.. sure he can walk but he also hates holding your hand and walking the direction you want him to. He thinks it's hilarious to collapse every 2 seconds dragging you down with him.. and when you are trying to hold Alana's hand as well she gets dragged down too..and trying to make sure Kaila is paying attention to where she is going it is too much. And it's just a blast when Donni pulls one arm one way and Alana is pulling your other arm another way or trying to pry your hand from hers so she can run away.





The Jellyfish were my favorite part.







There was a light that changed colors and lit up the jellyfish it was pretty cool




















some kind of water bird



This was the ceiling in one area lol.


The huge dome tank area


















feeding time!
