Today Cole originally requested the science center, but when it appeared the sun would unexpectedly be out all morning we changed the plan and went to the waterfront. We rejoined the aquarium, and both kids enjoyed crawling around the orca exhibit and the fish dome. Cora especially enjoyed the stairs (probably because our house has none for her pleasure). We snacked some near the tropical fish and Cole got to watch a ship crane at work in the sound (his highlight of the day). We then plugged the virtual meter, played on pier 66 and trekked to Pike Place market. I introduced C&C to both Piroshkys and Hom Bows. Yum!! We topped it off with a sack lunch at dads building and a visit up to his office, complete with train sighting. Got home later than normal and C headed right to bed for a rest. The sun was wonderful, the wind was cold, and hill up to the market was daunting with a double stroller, but it was an awesome day!
Today at the aquarium I was reminded of Cole's first outing there. We looked at all the beautiful fish, then walked down the waterfront to Anthony's and tried to get him to eat fish n chips for lunch. He petted the fried fish and refused to eat his "friends." Pretty funny kid. Too bad we don't have different words in English for the fish in the sea and the fish on the plate.
