Up an out of the hotel by 9am again. Headed to Annie's to load up and eat dim sum. Dim sum is where everyone sits at this huge round table and several ladies with many different foods come around and place things on your lazy Susan on your table. Every lady has a different food on her cart. It's a rather fun experience. The twins actually liked the food! The twins parents, auntie Annie and uncle Jeff, and their mother, Queenie, are wonderful people, so it made for a fun time. A big thank you to them for making me feel welcome in Seattle.
The Aftermath...
Baby Cate was not impressed.
After brunch, we headed over to the Seattle Aquarium. It was a "typical" day in Seattle today...50's and a constant drizzle...
So a day at the aquarium was perfect. We got to see a scuba diver swimming with tons of fish, touch sea enmities and starfish, and see tons of crazy looking fish. They also had sea otters and sea lions. They were exceptionally cute.
Will and David have been extremely whiny in Seattle. Maybe it was the two hour time change, maybe it was all the newness, maybe it was the tons of excitement that was always going on...who knows? But....geez, it was almost unbearable at the aquarium. They threw several tantrums, demanding to do things by their self. Silly things like stepping a different way, or seeing the fish before you did.... Welcome to the terrible three's!!!!!
Nap time. The boys went down easily, The dad watched golf, and the mom and I watched a movie: Couples Retreat.
There were 9 children all playing at once...loud and crazy, trust me!
Tried Annie's potty.... Wow is all I can say. The only thing that felt "good" was the warm toilet seat. It was heated and ready to go the second I sat down.
I sat there and tried ALL of the options. It was...
THE. STRANGEST. THING. EVER.
It felt as if I was doing something extremely naughty, and on a hidden camera to see my reaction or something. Glad I tried it, but I won't be getting a potty like this for my house.
Annie got the boys presents for the trip and also because their birthday was last week. HUGE firetrucks! They loved them so much.
Me and The super adorable Baby Cate!
The cousins played until they were literally asking to go night-night. What three year old asks to go night-night? None...so you knew they were super tired.
Bath time=Silly time
Now this was super funny...the boys put on the noise cancelling headphones from the flight, and started running around and playing with each other. Well, because they really couldn't hear anything...they were YELLING at each other.
David: "HI WILL-WILL" (tons of giggles)
Will: "HUH???" (giggling as well)
Boys asleep by 10 but the mom and I wanted a snack, so we walked over to McD's (my least favorite place in the world) to get a drink and an order of fries!
It's 11:20 and I'm headed to bed quickly now.
P.S. I miss my husband terribly.
