Seattle Center weekend

We went to the new play ground at the Seattle Center this weekend so the kids could run around. It is a pretty neat playground, great for climbers with huge slides and nets. Addie and Calvin tried to climb up to get to the slides but stopped and turned around after 7'. They still enjoyed running around and the swings. After we had lunch we visited the fountain and despite the cold weather the kids played chicken with the water..... Addie lost, Calvin got a little damp but then of course freaked out to stay in a wet jacket so Damien gave him his sweatshirt to wear. 

Post New Years Snow

The kids are getting a bit stir crazy and we are as well with all the holidays and weekends so we decided to take them to play date to get some energy out. It's nice that we can sit while the kids slide and run in the huge play structure. For the most part they stick together but at some point Calvin usually gets tired of being manhandled by Addie and ventures out on his own. 

The next day we had a nice snow flury so we went outside for a bit. None of the snow stuck to the ground but it was still fun to see snowflakes falling. 

Happy New Years

We went over to friends house last night for an East Coast New Years where we watch the ball drop NY time so we can head out and have the kids to bed by 10. Calvin always enjoys playing with all of the older kids and fits right in with Addie and everyone else. All the kids have such different personalities (most very strong) so it is neat to see the dynamics change as they figure out the evolving social dynamics of the group.
