froyo, science, water and pizza on the beach

Still enjoying the last bit of summer vacation.  This past week has been quite relaxing and we've had a chance to enjoy some local fun.

Sometimes you need to have dessert before dinner, especially when you just rode your bike up a big hill.

Science center - there were some engineering exhibits on for a short time so the kids had fun building, creating a safe landing pod for an egg, and making mini helicopters.

Success!  Three eggs dropped from the second floor and they all survived the fall without a crack

I love it when all 3 kids cooperate and work together

Water - Leah has wanted to visit the fountains at South Lake Union park but last time we were there and prepared with bathing suits, the fountains weren't working.  Since we were heading downtown to the science center, I threw a bag with extra clothes in the trunk just in case and sure enough we had time to go to the fountains.  You know what is even more fun than running through a fountain?  Running through a fountain in your clothes!  The kids had a blast getting wet and running back and forth.

We went to a local park for outdoor movie night to watch Finding Nemo with Jillian and Leah (Kyle was at his own outdoor movie night with the church youth group).  The girls even got to make a jellyfish craft.  I love free neighbourhood events.

And here it is...when summer meets lazy...I picked up pizza and we headed to the beach for dinner.
