Day at the Science Center

I took Andy and Sylvia to the Seattle Center for the day. We started off with lunch and met up with Rob, Beth and Ben with whom we lunch. It was great to catch up with the two and see their growing toddler. Andy actually was able to run the train in the snow village they put up every year in the food circus. Next we headed over to the Science Center to catch a 3-D movie, Santa vs. Snowman. I was prepared to dislike it but with our 3-D glasses on it was really fun -- snow flakes falling on our heads, reindeer careening over us, presents whirling about. Unfortunately, or fortunately maybe, when the lights went out Sylvia put her head down on my shoulder and went to sleep. She slept through the entire movie. Andy still didn't want to go in the dinosaur room, even though he kept insisting he did, so we played in the toddler appropriate play area. Andy is an old hand here -- we've been so many times. But all of this is still relatively new to Sylvia who spent a great deal of time mastering the stair steps and slide, and "driving" the car and helicopter.
