Aki & Milo's Christmas Bath time!

Our Christmas

We celebrated the winter solstice more than Christmas this year. But of course nice people we know gave (mostly) Aki a lot of presents. Aki has been very much looking forward to opening them.

Seattle Urbancraft Uprising Craft Show

Aki helped us make magnets and pins to sell at the event!

tadaa!

After a lot of reparation for the event, we are off to Seattle. Even though it was a long 3 hour drive, Aki did very well in the car by eating snacks, singing, and asking if were there yet over and over.

our first destination was Aviation Museum in south of Seattle. It was a free admission night and it was better than we expected!

Amazing collection of many different air planes and helicopters.

There were even spaceship section.

Exciting moment of entering the downtown Seattle. Beautiful!

We stayed at a handmade wagon in someone's backyard that we found at airbnb.com. So cute!

Inside there is a built-in bunkneds

Aki was so excited about staying here! He called it a round house.

There were a rabbit and chickens in the backyard.

There was another rental house and a swing and a slide. The owner built everything!

Fun bike to ride around too.

Inside the mail house, there were bathroom, dining space, sofa, drum sets!

We went to Pike Place Market and had the best clam chowder.

I must say the highlight of our trip was riding Ferries Wheel by the bay!

The view of the sunset from high up was awesome.

Beautiful city view.

Aki was so excited and also mesmerized by all the lights.

Of course "Again again!"

 

 

 

 

We found a merry-go-round!

 

 

The event started on Saturday and papa and Aki played all day while mama worked at the booth.

Aki's very first time ice skating!

He got a walker and soon enough he was able to stand on the skates right and move around.

So many things to see and do here at the Seattle Center.

Riding a monorail. The driver was very kind and Aki stayed very close to him and watched how he operated the monorail.

Watched a play of Shakespeare.

Lots of Holiday songs and dance at a stage.

Enjoying warm tea and performance.

Live Peru music

Many sculptures everywhere.

We had a lot of fun in Seattle and APAK did very well at the event!

Sewing Machine

Aki loves playing with mama's sewing machine.

We made many different patterns on a green felt.

Rocket!

papa made a rocket with toilet paper tubes for Aki.

Thanksgiving Day

On the way to Powell Butte park with Aki's friend Chico and popcorn Papa made.

 

It was freezing but very sunny. Aki found a village of huge rocks to play.

He was climbing up and down and through and under all the rocks.

He made it to the top!

Papa and Ocho and Pnut found a hidden fort.

Even though we didn't make any further on the trail, we had a good time on the rocks. Time to go home!

Our Thanksgiving dinner was HotPot Japanese Nabe. We had many different kinds of ingredients to give thanks to.

Thank you Earth and all living and nonliving things.

After the warm yummy dinner, mama took care of Aki's nap by taking him on a stroller walk. He was fast asleep.
