Circus

Every couple of years we get the chance to go see the Shriner's Circus. It's a small but fun circus, with proceeds going to a good cause. This time was Kyra's first, and she had a blast. Although, she wouldn't get her picture taken with the clowns.

The limbo dudes. They were fun.

Kyra rode the elephant. Although Matt got to ride an elephant when he was 2 years old too - but in the jungle in Cambodia.

Matthew liked the clown acts.

Kyra loved the elephants.

It's Soccer Time

Kyra got to go to the party too!

Kyra with the twins (Finn and Amos). They came over for a BBQ after Bloomsday.

Easter Time

Kyra was invited to a easter egg hunt party at her buddy Jacob's house. Jacob is the boy in the green sweatshirt. They used to go to school together and we're great buddies. But Jacob switched to a different school this spring.


Kyra at Jacobs, with her first egg hunt of the easter season. I think she participated in 3 egg hunts overall.




And she knows they are full of CANDY!

Who's that big boy?

Some of our friends in Spokane made the move to Seattle last year. We were able to me

et Sam, Karen and their daughter, India (whos only a few weeks younger than Kyra) at the park to play! Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos of Karen or Curt!

Mariners

Part of our spring break Seattle visit was to take Kyra to her first professional baseball game. The Mariners lost horribly, but that's nothing new. It was still fun. And, Uncle Marty and Aunt Xuan came to the game!

Star Wars at Pacific Science Center

The science center had an awesome exhibit about Star Wars "transportation" and cool tranportation in the real world. And of course had all of the costumes, models, etc. Matthew had a great time.


Millenium Falcon - one of our favorite space ships!

Who's that Daddy?

Know wonder why Yoda is such a cool dude. It turns out that the concept of Yoda was based off of one of the coolest people ever to walk to Earth - Albert Einstein!

Our favorite part of the center - the butterfly room.

Butterflies and bananas.

A couple of tired kids after a long morning at the science center.
