On Saturday mom went snowboarding and me and Dixie stayed in the car. It was cold and raining and I did not want to get wet. I mean Dixie did not want to get wet and cold she is just a puppy!

So on the way back we pulled off I-90 to stretch our legs.

First we stopped at Rattlesnake Lake.  Wow that was really scenic and peaceful!  We saw a rabbit but did not chase it. We were good park guests.

The we went to the Cedar River Watershed Education Center.  It was Fantastic! It rains a lot there and they have a garden where the rain falls on drums and it sounds totally cool. Way fun!

We went inside and looked at all the great displays. They had so much stuff to look at we will have to go back. This would be a great place to take out-of-town visitors. As long as they do not chase the rabbits.

The lady who works there was super nice and showed us around. She is really smart and knows all about the watershed.  Did you know that the Cedar River Watershed supplies two-thirds of Seattle’s water supply?  Wow – that is a lot of water!

In the photo she is showing Dixie how to use the display that shows about water evaporation. It was so fun!  When it was my turn I did it all by myself I did not need any help.

We had a super duper time.

Here we are playing one of the drums. You are not supposed to walk in the rainforest garden but this drum was right by the walkway so it was ok.

The next day we went out to dinner with Uncle Pete. We went to a Mongolian Grill.  First you get to pick out all the yummy things you want to eat.

Then the awesome chef cooks it on this gigantic grill.

Yummmmyyy!
