GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN......

Tonight Ling Ling and her mom May came over for a visit. When the two of them get together it is like TNT. They were making such a ruckus upstairs that the house started to shake a little. I asked Mimi what they were doing to which she replied "we're just having some fun!"

AT THE PARK

Since both Mimi and Spencer are early risers, we were able to leave for the museum at 9:00 this morning without any problem. It was great because we kept beating the crowds. There was absolutely no traffic on the way there. Then when we got to the museum it was not crowded until it was time to leave. Michelle then drove us to Chinatown for dim sum at Ocean Seafood right across the street from Uwajimaya and we beat the lunch crowd. The food was pretty good too. We then had a little extra time before heading home so over to Uwajimaya it was. Mom did a little grocery shopping and Mimi and Spencer hung out at the bookstore which is Mimi's favorite place to go. We arrived home around 3:00 in the afternoon and it was much too gorgeous outside so of course we had to go over to the park. By this time Spencer had already gone home with his mom and Mimi played with Erin and Liam. Butch who had been cooped up all day came with us too. Tomorrow after her gymnastic class, we are planning to have lunch with dad. So I am thinking about parking at the Space Needle where the parking is only $7.00 and taking the monorail over to the shopping center for lunch in the food court. We'll see what happens but that is the plan for now.

MIMI'S CAFE

In the back of the museum there is a place dedicated to the Asian countries such as the Phillipines and Japan. Here Spencer and Mimi have their own sushi shop. There is also a replica of a small but typical Japanese home which kind of reminded me of my Aunt's home in Japan.

MORE ALL IN THE FAMILY???

Mimi loves to build things. While Spencer was inspecting the other rooms, Mimi spent the majority of her time in the "Construction Zone".

ALL IN THE FAMILY????

After the grocery store it was time to move on.

MIMI THE CASHIER

At the museum they also have various rooms set up differently depicting various places and jobs. Here is Mimi and Spencer at the grocery store with Mimi ringing up Spencer's groceries.

ON OUR WAY.....

Today Spencer had the day off from school too. Therefore his mom Michelle had invited Mimi and myself to the Children's Museum in Seattle. That is where they have a membership. All the way there we heard the infamous question "are we there yet???" They have one huge room there dedicated to Curious George this month.
