Aquarium with Kim!

We met up with Kim and Eli to see the Aquarium last week. It was so fun to see them again and hang out in Seattle for the morning.

Eli began to appreciate the fish right away. Not that it lasted long, but he did like 'em.

It didn't last long because Eli decided to fall down and have a mini tantrum. So Noah decided to give him a hug since he was sad. Right in the middle of the hallway and it was packed because everyone was on mid-winter break!

Noah also needed a hug from Kim before we could proceed any further. He just HAD to get a squeeze in.

We walked and saw the fish and went into the neat underground room with all the windows and the most exiting thing for us was the stairs.


And the cliff which Eli had discovered. It didn't take long before Noah had to try to.

The fun play room for kids.


The boys loved watching the otters. I think it was every one's fav. This is a friend of Kim's, Carla, and she came over also with her son Logan.
More sea otters. Noah really didn't want to leave this window. They would zoom by the window and it was fun to watch.

We took a much needed break for sandwiches and water.

"What did you say?..." It was really fun to go. The boys are just so big. I remember when they were small and just crawling...
The Trail
This is Ronan. Our buddy from church. They are just 8 days apart. They decided to join us for the morning walk. Noah loves the company and stayed in the stroller for an hour and a half!


Here they are strapped in and ready to go. Notice Noah is just starring at Ronan. This was the position for most of the walk.

The day couldn't have been more beautiful. We also came across some horses and donkeys. Which the boys enjoyed..and so did we!
Afterwards we let the boys just run and romp after being in the stroller for so long. They played on this block for quite sometime. However, Ronan had strong feelings about Noah joining him. I think this was his take-down move!
Trying to share the kix's.

Noah had just given me a kiss and Anne (Ronan's mom) wanted to get a pic of it, but we got Ronan instead. Isn't he so cute?

One of Noah's girlfriends. I am going to have to start documenting all the little sweethearts that are pinning after him. This is Macy from church also.
Grandma Shelby invited us to lunch at the Bellevue Club. It was a very beautiful gym that has a little place to eat. It was fun to catch up and see her again.

Afterwards we couldn't resist the beautiful day, and went to the Bellevue Park. It was busy with people but it was so big you really didn't notice. There were so many toys to play with and tons of grass to run in...we will be back for sure!

They also had a well kept water area for ducks. Noah really wanted to join in with them. I think he was attempting to give each one a hug since he was really unhappy when we went to look at the other toys. But then we found the beloved slide and all was well with the world again.


This is the "big kid" slide.

We actually had to wait turns to get on a swing which was a surprise. But Noah didn't mind but he wasn't so sure about it when he was on.
No smile for the camera...just a sweet, kissable face.
But watch out because he is a monster at night!!! This is the pose he gave me when I asked if he wanted his picture taken. Umm...ok. He always wants to hold the camera after I take a picture to see his face.
