Seattle - Day 4
Day 4 started out with some fun crafts for the kids at Beth's house. They each got to paint a tile, make a rainfall stick and make sculptures using frosting, marshmallows, toothpicks, straws, candy, etc. It was great entertainment for them all.
Beth's daughter has quite the talent!
After the crafts, Lynn and Jim were wonderful dads and took the kids swimming at Kelly and Wade's hotel. Of course they couldn't just swim, they had to take advantage of having the room key. So, they short-sheeted their bed, turned up the heat in room to 80 degrees and Lynn rubbed shampoo on Kelly's glasses. It was pretty funny listening to their experience the next day. Especially since Wade didn't know what it meant to short-sheet a bed. Apparently he was kicking the covers really hard trying to figure out what the maid had done.
While they were swimming, Kelly, Kris and I went to lunch at a delicious Italian Restaurant called Coyote Creek and then went the SAM, the Seattle Art Museum. I know I am completely uncultured when it comes to art, but we had a great time and saw some interesting pieces of work (i.e. a painted toilet sculpture, stacked beer bottles to make a sculpture, you know basic modern art). One of my favorites was a piece titled Some/One 2001 by Do-Ho Suh. It was a coat made completely of military dog tags and stood about 6 1/2 feet tall with a radius of about 15 feet. Another of my favorites was a little iron toy horse that was dated approximately 610 B.C. (I think). I am always amazed at the preservation of items. For example, things that were made of glass, crystal or porcelain that have lasted for hundreds and hundreds of years. If you are interested in seeing some of the items they have on display, visit www.seattleartmuseum.org.
After the museum and swimming, we all met back at Julie and Bruce's house for a wonderful "Tastes of the South" dinner. Once again the food was delicious and everyone had a great time.
The whole Lefavor crew! Ended up being a great turnout.
Madi showing off her Mardi Gras beads.
Kari pulled out her guitar for some fun singing time with the kids.
