The Last of Seattle

Here are the last of our pics from Seattle,
I was planning on posting this last week,
but for some reason pregnancy and blogging do not seem to mix for me.

We visited Snoqualmie Falls,
it was gorgeous!
I love the looks on the kids faces,
they forgot we were on vacation having fun.

In the town of Snoqualmie they have a train museum with a ton of vintage trains that you could go peek in.

We also visited the Troll under the Bridge,
M. loved it!  She would have played in the dirt for hours!

We also went up the Columbia Tower in the city center to see a great view of the city.

This pic shows what a momma's boy baby H. is.


The Children's Museum in Seattle was amazing!

We all loved building, and we were in this room for at least an hour.

This was their themed exhibit, all about animals and insects.
M. found the lady bug outfit right away.

We also went touring around the beautiful Vashon, Island.
One of my favorite sites is the bike in the tree.
Isn't it amazing?

I love this pic of M. & H., but the end of the trip,
they were totally in love.

Here's a book about it:

Seattle Sea Shells

Ahh Seattle, it's so fun to be on the coast.

We headed to a little lagoon on the island to do some exploring.

We found some big crab shells,

and small sand crabs.

H. would look, but was afraid to touch.

After collecting all of our sea shells, we took them home and popped them in the oven,

and colored them with crayons.

We turned the oven on to 350 degrees and left them in there

 for 7-10 minutes.

I let her use a glove because they were a little hot.

The most fun was to turn the sea shell over onto the smooth side,

because it melted so much better.

You can do this same process with stones as well

{but you prob already knew that :)}

Afterward we learned more about the letter Ss by using the pages here, here, and here.

Happy Summer!
