Showing his collection to a docent at the museum who studied geology. Comparing notes on his identification - seems he got them right with one in question!

In the Burke Museum. Sam really liked the gemstones!

Looking at a huge dictionary - more than 2,600 pages!

Inside the big library. I wonder if Sam will be here in 10 years?

Leaving the big library to go see the fountain. Library looks like a church. Built in 1924.

Out to Burke Museum on UW campus, followed by a walk around the campus. The cherry blossoms are in bloom!

A new A team! Adding my dear friend Amy to the mix, and getting a chance to see April once again. This trail has lots of good memories from hikes when Sam was a baby - with Molly, Jenni, Becca...love you all!

A little rest break. These benches are new since I last hiked here in 2009. It was so nice to revisit it with my buddies.

Silly little wood elves hiding! They all loved to run ahead and then find deep cover and wait for the grown-ups. Ben apparently really likes "Making mommy SCREAM!"

Nice day out for some after-school shenanigans!

Ben takes his first jump!

Sam is a good jump builder and very brave even though he hasn't done this in a while.

Spring Break fun!

The absolutely highlight of break was a visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. We were so fortunate to have a personal tour by family friend, Anna. This picture takes you to the JPL tour. Note: troubleshooting movie display right now so you may need to check back. I'm emailing the developer and hope to have it resolved soon. The movies are the best part! Darn!

 

And I got to ride again on the same horse I met 3.5 years ago on a visit to mom's! That was sooo fun. I am nearly able to walk again, 7 days later 🙂 But so worth it! This picture takes you to the rest of the spring break fun - San Diego Zoo with Mom and Richard, beach time, bike rides, Easter Vigil...
