Soccer Girls!

We had a soccer game today. It was a beautiful, crisp, fall day. Perfect for playing soccer. I am so proud of Megan and Sarah for playing soccer this season. They both have done such a great job of stepping outside their comfort level and taking on a new sport. It hasn't always been easy, pain and all, but they seem to have fun once we get them out on the field. If they were given the choice they would probably rather stay home and play or watch a tv show. But once they are out running around and kicking the ball they both say they had fun. Here are a few pictures from the game:

This picture just made me laugh when I downloaded it off my card. I call this one "A Gaggle of Girls". Megan and Sarah are right in there. They are wearing the pink shirts that don't have black. The other team was quite good and I was so proud of them for both getting in there and trying to get the ball.

Space Needle Trip

The girls were out of school on Friday so we decided to take them all into Seattle to see some sites. We started the day by riding to the top of the Space Needle to look at the beautiful view. It was pretty cold and windy up top so the kids weren't too thrilled to stay outside for long while I wanted to take lots of pictures. I don't know how many times they have asked and begged us to take them up the Space Needle. I think the actual experience did not exceed the expectations. It was fun non the less.


We then headed over to the Pacific Science Center. I have also wanted to take them there ever since we moved here. Here we are over a year later and we finally did it. We even bought a season pass so I better go at least one more time to make it worth it. The kids all had a lot of fun exploring the exhibits.

We then wandered over to the big water fountain in the middle of Seattle Center where the Space Needle is located. Unfortunately it was not active. I did however take a few cute pictures of the girls.

The last part of the fun-filled-day was to ride the monorail into downtown for dinner. All of the kids loved riding the train, especially Thomas. He could hardly contain himself as we waited for it to arrive.

We all had a great day spending time together as a family. Hopefully the memories of the fun will last!
