I was very intimidated photographing a National Geographic photographer, but he turned out to be so easy-going. And of course, his kids were natural models. The film, “The Arctic: Our Last Great Wilderness,” just opened at the Pacific Science Center. We watched it on the IMAX screen and it is SO GOOD. Go! It’s playing…

We went to see the new grizzly bear cubs at Woodland Park Zoo. They’re both babies, less than a year old, and 200 and 150 pounds respectively! One was found wandering motherless in Alaska; the other cub’s mother was euthanized because she got too close to humans in Montana.

Special delivery from the North End!

These two have been talking about Kringle’s Filling Station for literally 11.5 months and they were SO excited to go again this year. It’s located at 83rd and Aurora, and $18 a person. There’s foosball, skee ball, plinko, ring toss, karaoke and a bean bag toss. Fewer games than last year, but we were won…

It’s the most dangerous time of the year at Trader Joe’s. $1.99!

Marmalade and teddy grahams for a pre-show snack… We got a sneak peak of “Paddington Saves Christmas” at SCT and that bear was just the cutest! The show runs through New Year’s Eve. Here’s a link to my review on ParentMap.

I wrote about MOHAI’s AI exhibit for The Seattle Times.The interactive stations were super fun. There’s an AI painter, a guess-your-age AI, speech-to-text recognition and more. Here’s a link to the story. Walking around South Lake Union afterward was great too!

Dear Mama, Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Costco

We got to check out The Ridge Activity Center in Bothell. The place is AMAZING and the kids can’t wait to go back. Here’s a link to my story on ParentMap.

We went to see WildLanterns at the zoo and it was so much fun! The show opened today and runs through Jan. 22.
