Saturday in Sunny Seattle

It was a beautiful day in WA--a nice 70 degrees! Rick took us over to Seattle, where we rented a canoe at the UW. It was an absolutely gorgeous day-- and it was really fun being able to spend it together like that, on the water!
Mcayden loved seeing all the boats and was excited to ride in the canoe.
I love that Rick enjoys doing this kind of thing with our family. He makes it so fun. He paddled the whole time and liked it!
When we went to pay for the canoe, the girl saw how pregnant I am and was like, "WOW! I've never seen anyone so pregnant ride in a canoe!! Are you okay?!" It was funny. I have to say, it wasn't very comfortable and I couldn't really move, but I'm so glad we went.
"Boats!"

One Fish...Two Fish...

We have been talking about taking Mcayden to the Seattle Aquarium for a while, so on Saturday we decided to do it! Neither Rick or I had been there before, but wehave wanted to go since moving to WA.! Mcayden had a blast! He LOVED looking at the fish and pointing out all the starfish and other little creatures he recognized. He also LOVED the seals and would squeel and laugh as they swam by him. He was so excited. There was a fake shark hanging up in one area and he did NOT like it--he clung onto Rick and snuggled in. He has seen sharks on the "Ocean Deep" DVD and didn't like seeing one up close.
