Ahh! What is that, I'm blind!

Talking about the weather is so boring. I hate to do it, but we have had a lot of gray days, so when we get a sunny day it is a really BIG deal to us. It always seems so bright when we've had so many days of gray and the sun finally appears.
Saturday was beautiful. First day in many that the sun was shining.
We went to the zoo with some friends and played for a while. I was pretty disappointed when Sean had had enough and wanted to go home. We spent a little time at his friend's house, and the boys wanted to play inside and watch cartoons.
Go figure.
I was able to capture a few shots at the zoo, and Sean took a lot of photos of animals.
I'm cheating a little on this one. I took one of this stained glass window in the aquarium during our last visit to the zoo. 


We love to visit the touch tank. There are always star fish, sea urchins, anemones and sometimes hermit crabs. We like to see what each one feels like, but boy is that water cold. It's pumped in from Puget Sound, and the temps are about 50 degrees on a warm day. 


We've never done this dress up activity before, so that was something new and fun. Sean was an octopus and his friend Jacob-Joshua became a sea urchin. They had lots of really cute sea creature costumes.
It was a busy day, and we were invited to dinner with other friends. I didn't get any photos there, and wish I had. My friend Kevin spent the evening playing outside with the boys while his wife and I talked. We had a great time.
This week will be busy too. Meetings, social engagements and stories to write.
