Seafair

We made it to the Seafair fairgrounds for the first time since living in Seattle. We played in the kid zone and watched the Blue Angels on the shore of Lake Washington. The fires in British Columbia made for some smoky skies. 

Tide Pools and Blue Angels with Nana

We took Nana to the Pocket Beach at Olympic Sculpture Park just north of downtown Seattle to check out the tide pools. The girls were great finders. 

Naomi saw a crab, star fish, sea cucumbers, and a jelly fish or three.

Hannah found a live scallop. It was red and kept opening and closing trying to scoot away.

Rachel was a great and daring explorer.

The Seattle aquarium provided Naturalists to tell us what everything was that we found.

This jellyfish forgot to move with the tide.

Crab leg

Rachel was in heaven collecting all sorts of stuff in her net. She was sad the Naturalist said she had to leave everything there at the beach where she found it.

The Patriot flying squad flew right over us while we were tide pooling

Rachel caught a crab.

Taking a rest while walking back to the car while Naomi threw a giant tantrum.

We stopped and picked up Gyros and had a picnic at a park in Magnolia that overlooked Seattle so we could watch the Blue Angels

Best view around

Rachel found some blackberry bushes so the girls did some gathering

It was fun to see the Blue Angels zipping around 

Naomi loves a good swing

It was a nice day to spend with Nana enjoying Seattle and the hot weather
