Water/Museum Fun

We took a break from the pool routine this week to check out the new outdoor water exhibit at the Children's Museum.  We spent most of our time outside in the playground and then splashing around in "Add Water".  It was a FUN morning!

 The water tornado was a big hit!

 So was the endless supply of orange balls and the geyser that blew them up into the air.

 Carter loved this station where you could pump up a huge blast of water into the air. It took forever, but he stuck with it.

 Awww...

 We briefly made and launched rockets, then off to the ant hill play area (my personal favorite).

 These two creatures were right at home in the big nest.

 After all that, we were too pooped to party any more!  

Child's Play

Today was the last day of our school break, so we decided to make the most of it & spent the morning at the Children's Museum.  The boys loved exploring the new Kinetics area.  Next time, we'll have to take Sean--this is right up his alley!

 Turning the knobs and wheels to get the plastic balls into the cage overhead.  They then dumped into a large plastic tub that poured balls over the kids every few minutes.  That never gets old!

 The bubbles are always a hit!  I loved that the kids all wore safety goggles, so as not to get soap in their eyes.  The boys looked like mini-engineers.  Adorable.

 Surrounded by four bubble walls.  Cool!

 Just doing a little shopping & pizza-making.  Who's hungry?

 We ended our day fighting fires and saving the day.  (PS: Doesn't that dog look real?!)

 Fire fighters in action!

Looks like a future hero to me!

Labor Day Family Fun

Since Sean had Monday off, I enjoyed a very large pumpkin spice latte after work and powered through to the Children's Museum for a family outing. The boys had a blast! It's been almost a year since we were there and Carter was really able to enjoy almost the entire museum this time. We had a great time there, then went out to lunch afterwards. Carter & Davis did great at lunch (surprisingly) and made us think we should go out to eat more often! All in all it was a really fun day. We got home just in time...the boys & I were ready for a nap!

Playing in the log cabin.

Drop and give me 20!

Checking out the super-cool bubble exhibit. It was a hit for boys little AND big!

More bubbles!
