The Pacific Science Center was pretty neat! I really wanted to see the King Tut exhibit! I have always been a big Egypt/ Egyptian fan, so anytime I see anything of the sort, I want to go see!

We started off our visit with a Lady Gaga Laser Show! It was fun! We got some Sour Patch Kids as treats and sat and enjoyed the show! It was fun! Its just music, and lasers doing shapes and things to the music, but its fun.

After, we headed outside to the courtyard of the museum. They had some really neat arrictectural structures. It kind of reminded me of what BYU used to look like..and most of it still does :)

I loved seeing the reflection of the Space Needle in the water.

Jake riding a bike above water. We had fun outside enjoying the weather and taking pictures to!

Before we went to see the King Tut exhibit, we saw an Imax movie. It was pretty good, and fun to see a little history about some items and things we were going to see.

At the exhibit.

Check out that royal toilet in the top right corner....

I was amazed with the detail Egyptians did to everything. This mini gold curcafagos, the entire inside had engraved hieroglyphics on it. Amazing! There eye for carving, art, writing, jewelry, everything was amazing! And they were so advanced in building and being ahead of the game.

The top left is a game! Neat huh. Bottom Left, shoes for King Tut to wear in the afterlife. Bottom right....King Tut....the replica.

Checking out the rest of the PSC. Jake and I were loving the dinos! We always do!

Bugs land...

Me and a cockroach.

Tuna on a caterpillar. Jake doing a grass hopper puzzle! He did a great job! I think the grass hopper was happy to be put back together.

Butterfly House! And it was free! Most museums I have been to, you have to pay extra to get into the butterfly homes, but not this one! Wahoo! We saw lots of butterflies! They really did fly all around us!

My handsome husband and a butterfly. He is a good sport letting me take pictures of him all day.

We had a great time at the museum. Just a few hours was a perfect amount of time to have here! I am glad we got to go!

Jake, Tuna and I LOVED Woodland Park Zoo! It was amazing! It had a cute farm area, warthogs, bears, white wolf, hippos and other animals we have not seen at other zoos! We also got to see lots of animals there being really friendly and fun to us! We arrived at the zoo right at 9:30 when it opened! I was glad we did because when we left around 1:30 it was getting a bit more crowded. Still fun to be there, but for some animals you would have to wait to get up to the front and see what was going on.

Pigs, goat, Jake

Jake and I got to go into a neat exhibit and feed some birds! It was a dollar for a bird seed stick and the birds just jumped right on the stick and started to eat! I was nervous because birds kinda scare me...but they were so friendly and sweet! I would do it again!

My cute bird I got to feed :)

Feeding flamingo time!

Isn't this Jaguar awesome?! So pretty! I was so glad I got a close up picture with her!

Frogs, snake, newt, turtles making love.

Jake and I spent quite a bit of time at the penguin exhibit! So many of them were full of energy and super fun to watch. Several really liked to interact and have a bit of fun with us!

Making lots of new friends today.

Can you tell I was not happy when they started picking on each other...it also scared me a little bit...

These Egyptian Tortoises were my favorite! They could of not been any cuter! The smallest one we saw was maybe barely 1.5 inches long. I wanted to take them all home! I want an Egyptian Tortoise so bad now! They were so dang cute!

Tunas head is about 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches big and wide, length, all of it and the tortoises were smaller! It was hard to capture a picture of their super cute size.
