The family went to see Disney's "earth" yesterday. A great film! It's just like those "Disney TRUE LIFE ADVENTURES" you used to watch in grade school, with the Himalayas and the rain forest and the deserts and that cool time-lapse photography where all the trees bloom at once.
One of the highlights is a dramatic night sequence filmed during a lightning storm in the Kalahari desert - a herd of exhausted elephants has finally found water after 2 weeks on the move, but they arrive at the watering hole only to find a pride of lions...that is willing to share...for a while.
And the great white shark footage reinforces my desire to never go in the ocean. At all. Ever. For any reason.
Matt insisted on bringing a book with him, even after I told him it was dark in the movie and he wouldn't be able to see. Still, Harry the dog is a favorite story. And it was easier to carry along then the animal friends - penguin, Snoopy and rabbit. (Snoopy rattles. &^%$##)

Civic participation
Shoreline's new city hall is under construction. Matt is very interested in the progress, and he knows that will be where the mayor's office is.
Today, as we passed the building site, he said, "I would like to have a conversation with the mayor."
Me: "What about?"
Matt: "Just a few little things. A little conversation."

And now, a special message from our sponsor...
Matthias saw me posting a blog item and asked me specifically to put out this message:
He dressed himself this morning with his sweater, pants and socks all facing the right direction. Now if only they were matching.

Quite a virus...
Young Matthias developed a bad cold in the past couple of days. (Which means we can expect a cold in the next couple of days.)
He came into our bedroom this morning and said, "I've got the coughings and sneezings and the burpings and the hiccuppings."

WTH?
The Davis family celebrated Easter by having brunch on South Lake Union. Matthias was interested in the air taxi services that takes off and lands from the lake. As one plane was taking off, he said, loudly, "Where the hell is that plane going?"
