Aquarium
Carmen has been asking, begging to go to the aquarium for weeks now. This weekend she finally got her wish. With nothing on the calendar for Saturday, we started our day with the fish, octopus, sea stars and many other fish-like things to see. The kids happily ran from tank to tank to check it all out. The highlight for both was getting their faces painted and staring at the fish tank wall at the very beginning and very end of the trip.
Sounders
Carmen hadn't been to a game since she learned to walk and this was Max's first match. Certainly overdue to take them both to experience the blue and green scarf waving, chanting and action on the pitch. Carmen was most excited about the streamers that came down before the game started and she was a great fan--clapping when she saw everyone else clapping, standing up to watch the game, giving high-fives and holding her scarf-up. Max was a little less enthusiastic. While he loves, loves, loves soccer, he doesn't love, love, love loud noises. He literally covered his ears the entire game. Both happily munched kettlecorn and other snacks as they took in the true Sounders experience. And, lucky for us, it was a good game. 4 - 0 victory. Go Sounders!
