Day 3 of Seattle Trip

We spent this day down at Seattle Center with my cousin Rachel and her husband Jimmy. We at at Steamers in the food court and then headed down to the Seattle Children's Museum. Ruby and Elsie had a wonderful time here. It was so much bigger than our Children's Museum and had so much to do. It was hard to tear the kids away when we were ready to go. Another beautiful day as you can see in the above picture of the space needle.
The girls LOVED this part of the museum. They spent tons of time there. It was a little store where they could shop for imaginary items, and then bring them up and pay for them. They had miniature carts and so much of everything for the girls to feel like they were really shopping. So cool! Ruby and Elsie enjoyed it when they made it to the front and both were able to play together, Ruby as checker and Elsie as shopper. Daddy even spent some time in the deli area where the girls picked up items from him. Awesome, we will definitely do that again!
Once we were done here, we all got an orange julius and headed back to Rachel's house. I planned on spending more time with them, but we were all so exhausted. So we said our goodbyes and headed back to the hotel for some bath time and pizza.
At night time, things changed a bit. Ruby was starting to get homesick and kept waking up over and over and crying really loudly. Basically the entire night, until Mike thought of how we could put her in bed with us. We had all 4 of us in the same bed, quite the experience. I was getting sick, so my patience wasn't the best. Elsie slept through it all out of pure exhaustion. Ruby finally got a few hours of rest and Mike and I didn't sleep much because of the tight squeeze. We made it through, but by the next morning Mike wanted to head out as fast as we could. We were ready to make the trek home.
