Fishy Fun

This past weekend we went to the Seattle Aquarium with some buy one get one free admission coupons (gotta love those). It was so good to get out on the weekend since Jake has been working a lot of them!
These are out friends we went with. We are standing in front of a big aquarium but you can't really tell in this picture. There were even scuba divers in it feeding the fish and cleaning.
We always have to get pictures in the cut outs. Doesn't Jake make such a cute jelly fish?
Kaylee and Ben in front of another fish tank. They loved looking at all the fish. Ben especially liked it and was so excited the whole time. They had these cool touch pools with starfish, crabs, sea cucumbers and other sea creatures. Jake is petting the sea cucumber here. They feel like a marshmello- all squishy and the starfish were surprisingly hard. Even though it was a bit cold at the aquarium we had a good time.

Winter in Washington

We were so excited to get snow on Saturday!! Everything just looks so pretty with snow. We took Kaylee out so see it, she wasn't too impressed- too cold for her. We soon learned that people up here are ridiculous when it comes to snow. As you can see from the picture there is just enough snow to cover the grass-about an inch. Well, we saw snow-plows out (even though there wasn't enough snow on the roads to scrape, they did salt them though), there were a few cars with chains on their tires, and Sunday at church half the ward wasn't there! In sacrament meeting they thanked us for "braving the elements" to come to church. We just had to laugh, this is nothing compared to Rexburg! By the end of church the snow was quickly turning to slush due to the rain and by 6:00, it was gone. I guess this is winter in Washington.
