Our Weekly Field Trips

Okay. I have to start this post off by coming clean. The above picture was taken last night. The above picture was taken in the master bedroom of our house. If you put 2 and 2 together, you will see where I am going with this...Owen is still in our room. Sigh. (Although you can tell by my smile that I don't mind *too* much...) He and I are laying sideways in the bed which is why you can't see our headboard...that weird blue thing behind us is the rail that helps make sure O doesn't fall out!

Anyways, now that I have that off of my chest! During the summer, Beckie, Kristen and I have taken the kids on a special field trip each week. We have been to The Legends (went to TRex Cafe and then shopping), we have gone to Crowne Center for a play (which we may or may not have been kicked out of...) and lunch, we have been to the spray grounds at Zona Rosa and City Park, and we were supposed to go to the library's story hour, but it started at 9:30 and Owen slept in that day, haha. Today we took the kids to Wonderscope Children's Museum. It was so much fun!

Excuse the horrible pictures, they are from my phone. I can't find the charger for our point and shoot camera, and there is no way that I can lug my DSLR around! The above pic is of Owen and Izzy playing in the racetrack room where you can race golf balls on different kinds of tracks. Basically the kids just wanted to climb the stairs

Wonderscope is in an old elementary school, and they have different exhibits/activities in each room. This was a weird kinetic thingamajig that Owen was obsessed with! You can see that Hudson is super excited as well!

Here is Owen and Ozzy playing at the station where you can build these weird animals. Owen and Hudson basically just threw the pieces down the hall...

Here is the water room! Hudson was having a blast with those tubes...he may have drenched me at one point, lol.

Here are Owen and Izzy splashing in one of the water tables...they had several different ones set up and they each had different faucets that sprayed water out. So cool!

Another water pic...and can I just say that the White Balance on my camera-phone STINKS!!! I am pretty sure that Owen and Izzy aren't yellow in real life! In the water room, Owen realized that he can use the same technique that he uses in the bathtub to get water everywhere. He soaked the floor in that room. Oops!

Here are the kids playing in the lego room.

Here are the kids playing in the sand room. They had a blast in here!

Another pic...the little girl in white is a random girl, and she kept dumping sand on Izzy's back, lol. The mom had no clue either because she was texting, haha. Poor Izzy! They also had an entire room dedicated to toddlers where they could just climb and explore and have fun. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures in there...hopefully Beckie and Kristen did! Next week we are going to the Deanna Rose Petting Zoo/Farm. Should be a good time!
