We spent presidents day in a few different ways. In the morning we spent time with an old pal of mine from high school, Liza and her kids. Its been a few years since I have seen her and it was great to catch up again. Of course, I and put my camera away to charge and completely forgot to get any pictures until after she was gone. Too bad too because her kids were adorable.
Then in the afternoon we spent some time with Grandma Cheri. We went to the childrens museum, and the kids went from one exhibit to the next very quickly. They did manage to stay in the section where you can make paper airplanes and fly them for a little longer than the rest. They also loved trying to make pin wheels and testing them in the wind machine. Emily especially loved that part, she couldn't get enough. She kept trying to crawl right up to it.
Look mom I got it!
Say cheese
Too Cute
We explored the dinosaur parts, looking at bones and teeth and giant skeletons. We also went outside and saw the big T-Rex. Abby loved it. Brigham, on the other hand, would not go near the thing. Sometimes his fears get the best of him.
How many kids can fit in a dinosaur print?
So tiny!
The wind blown look...
She loved this wind....
How do I use this thing?
Holy Big Tire
The Grinch
Riding the turtle
Sisters
Abby loved this
Touching the claw
There were also several thing for the kids to test out with their bodies. This little spinner was a winner. The kids enjoyed spinning themselves dizzy. This was their first attempt. On the second go around Brigham was so dizzy he kept falling down for awhile after, it was funny and kinda scary.
There also was a giant tuning fork to hit and hear its sound. Which was pretty cool. However, on the second hit Abby missed the Tuning fork and hit Brigham smack in the eye. Then we became the exhibit, it was entitled: Screaming Crying kid. Poor Briggs, he took it like a man....Although on our next pass through the same exact thing happened to another pair of kids, so we didn't feel like such a spectacle.
