We went to Cannon Beach today. Cheryl was appropriately impressed.

A full day in Seattle took us to the Seattle Center, the waterfront, Pike Pace, and the ship locks. We had fun showing Cheryl around and we had great weather to do it in. More about our day here.

“A bike in a tree? What’s up with that?”

We drove up to Seattle by way of Vashon Island to see this bike grown into a tree. It was pretty weird. That night we met up with my friend Cheryl and explored the city a little bit.

Pajama time took a little longer to finish, because the first pair  we put Magnus in had buttons(the brown one). Magnus decided it was a night for zippers (“zip!” with hand motions), and he was very adamant. He was even helpful switching over to a zipper pair.

Back at the rock show. Magnus loved the “wheel!” so much that he kept asking for it all night. He even dragged Ruth out to where our car is parked wanting to go see it. So, we promised he could see it again today. When we got to the venue he ran straight for the model and excitedly pointed it out to other people. This time we took a video, in case of future wheel wants.

We enjoyed perusing tables at a local Rock and Gem show that a friend from work invited us to. Dana’s sister Elina is a big fan of rocks, so she came with us. Admission was free and every child got a free rock. In fact, by the time we left Magnus had a little pile of rocks from several of the vendors that thought he was cute. A big hit was a model of a grist mill, complete with working water wheel, that was made out of petrified wood, so it looked like it was made of real wood. Magnus kept asking for “wheel! wheel!” He loved to see it spin.
