Seattle Trip - August 4th

On Tuesday we went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at the IMAX in Seattle.

Cute Carolyn made us all lightning bolt cookies to eat at the show. Here we are being Harry Potter Nerds and holding them on our foreheads :)

After the show we went to the butterfly house at the Pacific Science Center. The butterfly just to the left of my head had some excellent camouflage. When the wings were shut it blended in with the tree, but when they were open they were a gorgeous shiny blue.
Jayson found a little friend while we were there.
I love this picture of him trying to look at the butterfly.
The little butterfly hung out on his hat for several minutes, I guess it was enjoying the free ride.
Speaking of free rides, Carolyn and I tried our hand at riding a caterpillar! :)
Carolyn's face says it all! These spider wasps were absolutely disgusting! I am so glad I don't live in South America! Although aparently some of the smaller ones live in the USA.
After the Science Center we went to visit the troll under the bridge in Fremont. It is a fun art piece that was put together by the community.
HELP!
After the troll we went over to Gasworks park and enjoyed a view of the Seattle skyline from the shores of Lake Union.
Then we hiked up to "Kite Hill" at Gasworks park and flew kites.
Here are some of our kites, I think at one point we had eight kites up in the air!
We flew kites into the sunset
I love this picture of Jayson. He is in the bottom left corner and his kite is in the top right corner. He let the string out as far as it would go!
As we were leaving the park there was a gorgeous moon rising over the hill.

What a day huh?! It is never a dull moment with my family. Stay tuned for more Seattle adventures.
