Tiger Lily's First Birthday!

One year ago yesterday Tiger Lily came pouncing on the scene.  What a wild year it has been.  And how proud we are of our big, healthy, fearless girl. Here she is opening a birthday present from Meema and Grandad!




After a pancake breakfast and presents (and a nap!) we headed off for the Seattle Aquarium. Tiger Lily was very excited about the fish and the surf tank was the best.  The aquarium also had a brand new (2 days old) sea otter baby who was exceptionally cute being held tightly by its momma.

Look out for that cephalopod!


"Hey guys, there are fish in here!!"





After the aquarium we walked to the Miner's Landing pier (where the first gold from the Alaska Goldrush reached Seattle) and TL and Merrick took a ride on the carousel.




Video from the carousel ride. That thing moves fast!

Then home for stew with cornmeal muffins. A great first birthday. And a party next Saturday to look forward to!
