Fall break fun!

Today we went with some friends to a children's museum. My kids had an absolute ball! Jack was a champ--despite the 10 minute nap he got (evidently, he transfers fine to a bed, but does not transfer to a stroller. Sigh.).

Atop a John Deere



...and a bulldozer. He was in little boy heaven!



Brilliant...they provide kids with rain coats to keep their clothes dry while splashing and making a mess going fishing.



She was cheating and putting the stuff on the end of her line.



Ryan stopped what he was doing, dropped the pole and is shouting, "CHOO-CHOO mama--it's trains!!!"



Jack and Wilson chillin' in the baby section. Jack has gotten so good with his sitting that he effortlessly goes from tummy to back to tummy to sitting and has even had a couple of crawls. (and what I mean by that is that he isn't "crawling", but he gets on hands and knees and will move 1 knee and his hands, but no more than 1 "crawl". Ha.).



It isn't possible for him to be any cuter. Gracious!



This picture makes me laugh. I said, "girls, freeze and smile for me" and Annie literally froze and Anna-Kate went in to super pose mode. Hysterical. I guess I take a lot of pictures, it seems a bit natural to her now. :)



Cool little spot under water in the fishing table.



She is so like me...my girl loves the sand! (Though, I prefer mine on a beach, she seems pretty equal opportunity.)



Painting





Anna-Kate and Annie painted a long time after Ryan lost interest. It was fun to watch them and their personalities come out. Anna-Kate went over and had the guy wash out her brush each time she wanted to use a different color, whereas Annie painted freely and mixed the colors. Both enjoyed themselves immensely. So funny.



This was a crane situation where two people say in the crane and swiveled it back and forth picking up balls and dropping them into a big container. Ryan literally sat there for 20 minutes (until I made him get up to share!). He was beyond fascinated.

That museum is fun, David and I ended up getting passes so we can come back all year! You must have gone on a less crowded day that Ryan got that much time on the ball crane, we went on one of the last days of summer and it was over-run with 2 daycares and lots of big kids, we had the most fun when they went to lunch!
