Dancing

It's about time we have another video of Sophie dancing. This time she was dancing to the theme song of the movie "Tangled." She got a few new moves. Have a look.

Boating in Lake Union

Vân learned from a friend at work that the Center for Wooden Boats in Lake Union had free boat rides every Sunday. So we had to take Sophie. We were a bit worried at first because Sophie didn't seem to like the water. But it turned out that she loved it. We saw hydroplanes coming and going; sail boats; yachts bigger than our apartment; and house boats -- where they filmed "Sleepless in Seattle." Then to top it off, we went to Dot's in Fremont for lunch -- sandwiches with merguez and steak, and fries with aioli. We came home really sleepy. 

I'm ready to go!

Where's our boat?

West Seattle

West Seattle is a part of Seattle, but it has a different feel to it. It has that small beach town feel that we find appealing. Vân had to go over to West Seattle for work one day, so we made a day out of it. We went to Camp Long for Vân to look at the space and the rope course, then we had lunch at Marination -- beef bulgogi tacos, kimchi sausages with rice, and fries. It was a beautiful day. Had it not been the skyline in the background, we might have forgotten that it was Seattle.

I want to make a wish!

Dancing with Elmo

Elmo came to town for a Sesame Street Concert. And he made a special appearance at the Children's Museum. At first, Sophie freaked out when she saw Elmo. She ran away from him. But after a minute or so, she warmed up and wanted to dance with him. He could only stay for 15 minutes, but it was the best 15 minutes ever at the Children's Museum.

Elmo arrived!

Painting My Own Nails

Sophie tried to pain her own nails. She didn't miss a spot, but she painted more than just her nails. She managed to pour the nail polish all over her shirt and pants. Have a look.
