Seattle's Pacific Science Center

We decided that it would be fun to take Jackson to the Seattle Science Center (we were right). Since we don't get to visit too often, my Mom decided to let Christian spend the day with us instead of going to school. It was a fun field trip!

Jackson was really getting into it!

Jackson thought it was pretty cool that HE could control the hydrological powered tractor

He LOVED this helicopter! It was like pulling teeth to get him to move on to the next thing.

Sorry for the weird lighting... I was having issues with my camera! Here we are in the butterfly house! This was definitely Kate's favorite part. She slept through most of the remainder of our visit to the science center.
Jackson was waiting for a butterfly to land on his hat. They were flying right in our faces!

Some of the animal exhibits...

Jackson also LOVED the dinosaurs
This is Christian and Jackson laying in an imprint of a dinosaur's foot... it was huge!

Jackson was really excited to show us (by pointing) and tell us about everything that we saw! He was a very busy boy (not that it's unusual for him to be busy)

Holding a cockroach... he was the only one that the little asian man could convince to hold this nasty creature... I've showered with too many (in Brasil) and wasn't interested in holding one in my hand. Yuck! Way to be brave, Jackson!
