It's a Wadkins World: November 2014

Seahawks & Science Center

A huge thank you goes out to Katy - Lola's amazing godmother who watched Lola & Mac all day on Sunday so that Dan and I could enjoy the rainy Seahawks win with our sweet Eburg friends. She took them to the Seattle Science Center, got balloon animals, and had fun playing hide and seek. She's the best and they loved their Katy Fun Day.

Loved another year watching a Seahawks game. Nolan got us tickets in the section where a lot of the players friends and family sit. We especially enjoyed having Richard Sherman's mother a few rows behind us and watching her walk up and down the ailse getting the crowd to make some noise.

A few of my favorites! Love my Ellensburg wives! (Missed Lauren & Kerry at dinner!) Such a treat.

On Monday, we hit up the Science Center again with the Bennett girls. We got to watch the 3D movie, Flight of the Butterflies. The kids loved it! We always enjoy our time with these three sweet little girls.

After the movie, we explored the Butterfly Pavilion. It was amazing to see so many butterflies, and so many different species. The kids loved matching up the butterflies to the correct name, and enjoyed getting so close to some of them.

Feeling brave as he explored and touched the sea urchins and starfish.

Onto the dinosaurs!

Farewell to Baby Flaherty. Cannot wait to meet her this spring!

Halloween Fun

Dan's best buddy since preschool & Mac's godfather, Nolan, has an amazing job working as a Pro Personnel Scout for the Seattle Seahawks. We headed to Seattle for the weekend to go to a game with our Ellensburg friends, and it just so happened to be Halloween weekend so we got the opportunity to trick-or-treat in Wallingford with the Flaherty family. We spent the day afterwards with them checking out the Ballard Locks and watched a few boats get transferred from Lake Union to the Puget Sound. The kids liked watching the salmon move in the underwater viewing area too!

Spending the night at Morgan & Nolan's was SO much fun. An added bonus was having story time with Uncle Nolan!

Bentley was a PERFECT Halloween addition to the kids Gonzaga Bulldogs costumes! Lola is getting so much more comfortable around big dogs, and Mac the Bulldog enjoyed lying in the dog bed with Bentley the Bulldog.
