Adventure Day: Soundbridge

Last fall Matthew and Jon fell in love with Max and Pinky. Borrowing from Max and Pinky, I have designated Thursdays as Adventure Day, because there is no preschool and currently there are no lessons.

We've had quite a few fun adventure days. We've gone to the Seattle Children's Museum and the Burke Museum. We've taken rides on the bus, gone to different parks, and visited Jon downtown. Unfortunately, I never managed to get any decent pictures of our adventures; until this week.

This week for adventure day we went to Soundbridge, a musical discovery center for children. Essentially, a place where small children can acceptably wail on instruments; at least that what happened with my little angels. We rode the bus downtown and made it right on time for a musical storytime. Matthew loved it; Seth was constantly trying to escape. During the storytime the kids had a chance to play sticks (high, medium, low, fast, medium, slow, while turning, etc),
minmic rhythms on drums,
(Seth preferred to beat with his feet . . .
. . . he also liked the sound it made when he threw it)
and even play the french horn.
After the storytime, the boys tried there hands on several on the instruments in the instrument petting zoo.
We all had a good time, even if we did leave with a headache (at least me).

You have always been so good at taking the boys on adventures. You are a great mom. The music place sounds really fun, though I have to admit it gives me a bit of a headache just thinking about it!

We miss you!! This morning Madeline told me that she had a dream about Matthew. I'm glad her four-year old memory still holds a vivid place for Matthew.


I still can't get over Seth's hair: he has become quite the little boy since we were there just six months ago.
