Kit and I spent Friday afternoon with this little whirling dervish. I would have more pictures to show but the kid never stopped moving and therefore every photo was a blurry mess. We checked out MOHAI (Museum of History and Industry) at their new South Lake Union space - it was fabulous. Actually, we didn't see all of it because certain little people gotta keep moving, man - so we let her lead. It was her day. We had agreed for her birthday present that we would have a date with her and she got to choose what she wanted to do and where she wanted to eat.
After MOHAI, we went to her favorite restaurant Burgermaster - yes, seriously. Her favorite. Cheeseburger - no bun, and a chocolate shake. She couldn't have been happier.
After dinner we hung out at home for a while and did some drawings and used our "imaginations" and then it was time to take her home.
Then fell into bed EXHAUSTED. Not kidding - EXHAUSTED. I don't know how you parents do it. This is one kid, and she's good. No fussing, whining or bad behavior. She's fun to have around, she likes to chat and tell stories and is quite easy for an 8 year old - but they never ever ever stop moving and talking - so it's pretty tiring. But super fun. Having nieces and nephews is great - and partly because you can give them back when you're beat.
