Lights!

On New Year's Day we went to the Bellevue Botanical Garden where they have a light show in the garden with the Boones! It was beautiful and creative and super fun. The weather was less than ideal, but we hardly noticed the rain as we walked under lit grapevines, through the jungle of lights (where we saw a light monkey and alligator), and past the pond of lights with a light waterfall, geese, and lilly pads.

Vivienne was entranced by the lights and didn't hardly fuss (until we got back to the car); I think her favorite was the underwater scene with the jelly fish and bubbles. The attention to detail was the amazing and the flowers were gorgeous. Then we went to a fine dining restaurant (Applebees) where both couples tried to keep there children happy. Miles seemed happiest when he was throwing something and Vivienne was only happy when she had something in her mouth (including the fake berries that got paint all over because of her slobber). We had a great time; thanks to the Boones for inviting us!
