A Day at the Children's Museum

We decided to stop on the way into the museum and have all the kids pose beside the statue that looked like them the most, or in Gabbie's case the statue that had green. Here are the shots...

'What do you mean hold my hands up like he is?'

'Are you really making me do this? I'm seventeen for goodness sake.' (You know you loved being able to be a little girl again Tayyer!)

The weekend we went, they were having physics themed exhibits. The first stop was to make a 'holder' for a ping pong ball that would get down a zip line the fastest.

Here are Kyle and Taylor getting into the construction of their contraption...

Three guesses who the winner was.

Then on to the decorating of faces. They have this little station where you take regular crayons and dip them into a sponge that is coated in alcohol. Then you can mark on your face as if they were face paints.

Gabbie decorated Tayyer's face.

Daddy decorated Noah. Bubs was very patient. I was so proud of him for waiting while Daddy did his face.

This is what I got when I asked Gabbie to take a picture. Not sure why her hands are up like that. (I just asked her why she did her hands like that and what it means. She said cause she loves to and it means I love you.)

Mommy didn't draw enough so I need to add little dots on my forehead.

The finished product...Mr. Lion.

Then off to a visit in Mexico.

With a side stop in Japan. Taylor needed to stop off at school.

And the kids needed to work in a store.

Our museum is pretty sweet. The kids love it. I'm not so sure how I enjoy it when it is just me and two little ones who disappear almost as soon as we arrive. I'm working on not being so anxious when we go into crowded places.
