We spent the night at my parent's house since they had watched the kids the night before. We got up that morning and celebrated Reba's birthday with my family. Of course it was chaos because of all the little munchkins, but it was still fun. We had cinnamon rolls and sweet rolls.
My mom got Chinese yoyo's which were a hit with the kids, as you can see in the picture. That gives a perfect scenario of how the breakfast was. Chinese yoyo's going everywhere. It was dangerous if you got caught in the cross fire.
Once breakfast was over, our family headed over to Seattle for the day per Reba's request. She wanted to walk around Pike Place Market and enjoy Seattle since it was supposed to be so nice out that day. We rode the ferry like tourists and walked around Seattle.
Bunch of cool dudes.
We walked by the Aquarium and looked in the huge fish tank. Noah couldn't see anything, so I had to pick him up. He thought the fish were going to jump out at him. Only from a child who thinks everything in life is 3-D.
By looking at the picture, I'm not sure they were completely comfortable turning their backs on the guys who throw the fish. They were mesmerized by all the seafood, but mostly how these guys get to throw food for a living. 
Only in Pike Place do you see a lot of "culture" and other walks of life. This guys was walking around with his pet lizard and I'm not sure our kids thought it was utterly cool or down right scary. Noah did reach out and touch it.
We had a great day, all being completely exhausted when all was said and done. We haven't done something like that for awhile. So much of the time, we don't take advantage of things in our own city. We would have done that in another city, but rarely ours. Rebecca said it was a great way to spend a birthday.
