Leo's favorite part of the museum was the water feature. He stood there and played in the water for a long time. He found the little ping pong balls to put down the tubes and even went to the store, found a fish, and brought it back to "swim" in the water. He held on to this fish the entire time we were there, refusing to let us put it back in the store. This is where I finally found it stashed in the ball pit in the beehive! He finally put it down to play with the balls! Heidi and I were cracking up over the silly fish! In fact I took this picture purely for her benefit.
Everyone wants to hold baby Winnie!
Adam's self portrait! He got a hold of my camera and left a few surprises for me.
June 30, 2011- We started the day first off with a few birthday presents. Joey has taught them well and we almost always open presents over breakfast these days. Carly got a large bag of gumballs for her gumball machine, a new pair of shoes, two CD's for her boombox, and several new books to read. For her birthday she wanted to go to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. So after breakfast we packed up a lunch and got on our way. This is one of those hands on type museums where there are endless things to do and explore. Heidi brought her boys and joined us there. We spent the day at the grocery store (funny how they hate the store for real but love to shop for pretend), the farm, and all the other fun things in Kid's Eye View. The Garden with all the balls that go up chutes and down tubes and all over the place. The Media Zone where you can be the weatherman or the news anchor. The terrace where the helicopter is. And so much more! We got there right as they opened at 10am and stayed as long as we possibly could, about 5:15pm. They closed at 6pm plus Carly wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner before cake and ice cream at 7pm. We tried to hurry home to get Joey only to be stopped for a horrible accident just outside our neighborhood. The entire road was closed off and traffic was being detoured off on the canal road (where we went), down to 6200 S, and 4700 S. The whole city was pretty much at a stand still. We finally got home about 6:25pm after spending over a half hour going a mile down the canal road. By then we were not going to make it back the way we came to Texas Roadhouse, be able to eat and get back by 7pm. So we promised Carly that we would go to Texas Roadhouse tomorrow night and she opted for Arby's instead because we were pressed for time. Even getting to the Arby's and back put us home at 7:30-ish so we were late for our own party! It was okay because everyone else was stuck in the traffic too! We still got to eat the cool looking rainbow cake, which turned out awesome if I don't say so myself, and some delicious ice cream! Dispite spending an obscene amount of time in the car and missing out on dinner, I think Carly had a pretty good day!
