The whole fam went to the Sea Life Aquarium before our coupon expired.
We got to see cool and "scary" stuff :)
Payton pretending he's a baby turtle hatching out of a shell, and the Little Miss just had to copy her big brother.
They really enjoyed the whole thing, along with this cool submarine play place at the end. The boys especially liked having a "quiz" as we walked through all the exhibits. There were questions on the wall they had to answer, and if they got them all right, they got a prize at the end.
i.d.e.a. Museum:
We got to go to the new exhibit, which was all about travel. The kids made passports, and Brooklyn was so cute to grab a travel bag, that she carried with her the whole time, and kept pulling out her passport, stamping it at the different destinations, and then putting it back in. The boys even ended up being glad that she carted around a bag, because every time they made a craft, they'd put it in her 'luggage.'
"I Spy" in the jungle room
Captains flying the plane
I snuck around out front, to peek over the gate and watched these two having the time of their lives playing foozeball with the crazy sprinkler going. I'm sure this isn't really a game that's supposed to be wet, but it's falling apart anyway from the people who gave it to us, plus all the time it's spent sitting in the sun, so I didn't interrupt them. If they're gonna play nice together, I'm not stopping it!! :)
Before Gordon and Lindy left for Oregon for 2 months, they came over for Sunday dinner and gave Brooklyn an early birthday present. 4 wooden dolls with magnetic clothes and accessories. She definitely loved it, but it was cracking me up how much her brothers also wanted to play, and they seriously played with them for like the next 2 hours. I even overheard Payton say the next morning, "Want to go in your room and play with your girls?" ha ha. They were a hit. Thanks Grandma Lindy!
Brooklyn recruited a few friends to come on her train ride while I swept and mopped :)
