A Day at the Museum

On December 31 we met Jeremy's brother David and his wife Laura, along with their children Austin and Caroline at a local museum. Our kids had a ball! There were so many interactive things they could play with and explore. We stayed all day, from about 9:30 am until after 1:00 pm. Our kids only slept a little while on the trip back to Granddaddy and Grandmother's house. Here are a few pictures of our trip:
This is my favorite picture from the day. Major has the bluest eyes and I just love them!
A little experiement with alka-seltzer that made "rockets" out of old film cannisters. POP! They hit the ceiling!

Pull, Major!

All of the kids loved this - showing how the pressure of water can push an object up. Caroline enjoyed playing in the water, too, with her mother Laura!

Are we tall or short?

One exhibit had you test whether you could roll your tongue - Major almost has it!

Ella Grace and Uncle David try their hand at weather forecasting.

They all wanted to look out the window from the 3rd floor to see the city below.

Major enjoyed playing at the water table.

Ella Grace loved playing with Caroline. Here they are at the water block table.
