Little area that leads from the kitchen to the dining room.
Family Room (There is still painters tape up, that’s what the blue stuff is.)
I really like the tile work around the fireplace.

It was kind of rainy and chilly on Thursday so we decided to do something inside. I wasn’t sure what the World Forestry Center would have in store for us, but we did know they were having a chocolate exhibit so we figured we didn’t have anything to lose. 🙂
The chocolate exhibit was a bust. They didn’t even have any samples of chocolate. Why did they even bother? 🙂 (Project 365-3/25/10)
It’s hard to tell in this picture, but this a simulation where you pretend like you are a firefighter who jumps out of airplanes to put out forest fires. You are in your “parachute” and you have to land on the target that’s on the floor. The target moves because it simulates the wind blowing, etc. It was fun to do and it was VERY difficult!
Lots of stuff made out of wood and other tree/wood related products with a big map telling you where they all come from.
This actually turned out to be a pretty neat place. They had simulations for all kinds of things like the new machinery they use to cut down trees…not easy to do…to going up in the canopy of the rainforest to explore life up in the treetops.
Butch loves this spot. He lays there all afternoon sunning himself. Rough life.
