Children's Museum

Naomi told us about the free Friday at the children's museum, so we went tonight. The pictures were from our phone and weren't too great but the kids had a great time.
Not only could you pick flowers but you could replant them.
The kids enjoyed brushing the crocodiles teeth and climbing all over him.
Let us not forget the insides!
After doing a few activities some of the kids decided to paint their faces. What a great Clown!
They played in the treehouse and fallen log and became sunflowers.
The digging room was a hit but it was sooo crowded that we didn't stay there too long.
The building room was fun but no one wanted to wear the hard hats.
They even had plumbing to be done by these two experts.
The emergency vehicles were a blast to drive and the lights and microphone made it even better.
Water is always fun. The kids got wet even with the plastic aprons on.
They loved getting wet and experimenting.
More water!
It wouldn't be complete without a pump.
They had a theatre room with costumes and a stage and the kids could see themselves on TV. We all clapped and loved the dancing.

Bravo, good show guys!

Work Picnic

I'm helping Josh blow bubbles while we relax at the picnic bench.
Alan's work had a wonderful picnic that we got to take the grandkids to. We had hamburgers and hot dogs...

Loads of cotton candy...

Snow cones galore...

and all of the kids got a character balloon, like Ariel...

and Ben and Josh got penguins. We all had a blast!

Grandkids Vacation

Em got this wig and may have to use it for Halloween this year.
We picniced at Asheigh's house while we were there and ate chicken alfredo, MMM!
Ashleigh let the kids paint on some canvas to put up in the play room. They all had fun and got paint on everything.

The kids got together in"the Nook" and we took their picture.
