Nathen and Annie were goofing off on the monorail. Seattle has a monorail that takes you from the Seattle Center (where the Space Needle is) to downtown. I believe that like the Space Needle it is a remnant of the World's Fair.
Nathen and Annie make pretty good fish faces, don't you think? This is at the Seattle Aquarium which is quite a great place. This picture was taken in front of the Nemo and Dori tank. See the little Nemo's and Dori's swimming around?
Annie absolutely loved watching the sea otters. I have to say, they are very cute and very fun to watch. They would swim down to the bottom of the tank, pick up some shrimp then head back up to the surface where they would swim on their backs and put the shrimp on their bellies just like it was a table.
This was a giant Pacific octopus at the aquarium. Apparantely they are found in the Puget Sound. The octopus was pretty much the highlight of the aquarium. Annie liked it so much that we got her a cute little stuffed animal octopus that she still sleeps with every night.
The aquarium had some little ponds where you could touch star fish, sea cucumbers and sea urchins. I think Annie just enjoyed playing in the water.
We went up to the top of the Space Needle the second day. Annie's favorite thing was looking through the "telescotes", but as you can see, she was a little too short. She got a great view of the sky, though. I think we have held her up to every telescope on the top of the Space Needle. Oh, and something else very cute... My neice, Zoe, calls it the Space Noodle.
This is at Kerry Park. It is where most of your pictures of Seattle are taken from. We are sitting in a sculpture that is there and it was impossible to get the girls to sit still at the same time.
Annie loved spinning around in this cup thing at Kerry Park.
