First Day of School 2014

Today is the first day of school.  Cole starts kindergarten and Trevor is in 3rd.  Cole was so excited.  He will be in all day kindergarten so he helped pack his lunch and get his back pack ready.  Trevor was a little more nervous.  There are 15 boys and 5 girls in his class.  He has his own desk this year so he is excited to put his supplies in there.  So far the school has been very organized and everyone is friendly.  It is going to be a great school year.

Seattle Aquarium and the Gum Wall

Today we went to the Seattle Aquarium and the Gum Wall.  The boys enjoyed seeing downtown Seattle for the first time.  It started out a little rainy but quickly cleared up so we were able to eat lunch outside on the water and watch the boats.

 The gum wall was very interesting.  It was a much larger section of wall then I expected.  I was surprised that some people got creative and wrote their names or messages with gum as well as faces and other things.

Driving Go Karts

Trevor was invited to a birthday party at Coconut Bowl this weekend so while he partied we went out and drove the Go Karts.  Cole was able to drive the small ones himself and then got to ride with Daddy in the big ones.

PBS tour

We went on a tour of the PBS station with our MOMS Club friends.  We got to see the rooms where they edit, do voice over and produce.  Cole favorite part was the studio where he stood in front of he green screen.  He also got to see Clifford the big red dog.

Hiking May 2014

Last weekend we went hiking in Galena Forest.  They boys decided to take a bunch of silly pictures. They even got Dad in on the fun.

 

 

Egg Drop 2014

Trevor's school had their egg drop today.  This year Trevor put his egg in a loaf of bread made in the bread machine. We then put the bread in a small box so we could write his name on it.  Here is the egg going in before it goes into the box.  We stuffed the piece we cut out back in the hole.

 It survived!!

Sacramento Trip April 2014

During Trevor's spring break we took a little trip to Sacramento with Grandma.  We went to the zoo, Fairy Tale Town and stayed in a hotel.

Pinewood Derby 2014

Yesterday was the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  Trevor made his car look like a Creeper from Minecraft.  He loved seeing it race.  We didn't think it would do very good due to it's boxy design but he actually did okay.

 Ready to Race!
