Rub a Dub Dub

Today was a very upsetting day for Hammy. It was bath day.

Hammish hates baths!!! He is very good while taking them, but he hates getting all wet - especially his head. We have to bribe him (and ease our guilt) through the whole ordeal with many, many treats. After all those treats and a little rubdown all over my carpet, we have a very damp, but much happier Hammy!

He is very wooly so he takes awhile to dry completely. I think only his eyebrows are dry as of this picture.

P.S. He's still pretty ticked at us....I had to offer him a treat just to get his picture!!!!

Museum of Flight

We finally got ourselves up to the Museum of Flight in Seattle today. We have been wanting to take Cayden up there as he is an airplane and space fanatic.

This looked like an interesting early flight experience. The "Albatross" actually made it across the English Channel on manpower. Can you see the mannaquin on the bicycle inside?

Cayden and Tom in front of the SR71 Blackbird (Cayden's current fav)

This is a Boeing 80A-1. I love the sconces and the pull down shades!

Cayden got to control this little plane by himself!

My personal favorite: The Taylor Aerocar! The guy who invented this was born in Portland, grew up in Longview and graduated from UW. I can't figure out why this never caught on.....

This is an actual SR71 Blackbird cockpit.

Cool sharky machine gun.

This one was nicknamed "Big Stud". It's Tom's favorite WWII plane.

A little memento. His very own SR71 Blackbird model!

What a good time!!!
