The last couple of days have been the typical northwest dreariness but before that we have had an amazing few weeks. We spent a lot of time outside, doing field trips and just relishing the gorgeous fall days. There will be  plenty of rainy days in the months ahead to be stuck inside doing our typical school stuff. These photos were taken on several different days while we were out and about.

Here is the Space Needle caught in the clouds. I looked up and there it was snuggled in downy clouds against a blue sky.

My kids in front of the International Fountain. The jets of the fountain "dance" as music plays. Some of the musical selections are better than others. Notice the squinting eyes, unaccustomed to sunshine.

Pacific Science Center

The current featured exhibit at the Pacific Science Center is "Colossal Fossils." Here is one of the fossils in the exhibit.  Basically, his mouth is almost big enough for my three biggest kids.

The tropics have a home at the Butterfly House in the Pacific Science Center. It is warm and well lit any day of the year. The butterflies are amazing. I had a sleeping one in a stroller so I had to take this picture through the glass. This is a not to be missed exhibit.

This is a permanent exhibit where the kids can pretend to be weather forecasters. Watching them figure out how to move in front of the green screen can be funny.

There is an area just for infants and toddlers at PacSci. This is my little guys favorite activity.

Seattle Children's Museum

My kids hamming it up.

This is not the only exhibit at the Children's Museum,but as far as my boys were concerned, it might as well have been...

I can't wait until this little guy can walk. He is going to have a blast here when he can get around on his own two feet.

Another water play station, another wet baby.
