Weekend Warriors!

We are all finally healthy.  So I figured... what the heck, lets get out & find some germs!  Actually I figured, if we don't get back into a routine of having fun, doing activities with the kiddos outside of our 4 walls, I'm gonna go nutso.  So we did!

Friday we had a play date with our friends Ryan & Connor at the Children's Museum.  Our first visit!  (sad that my kiddos are 2 & this was our first time there.)

They were pretty apprehensive at first, didn't want to play.  But we found an "ep-ant lide" {elephant slide}.  That got Livi & Logan going.

 I used to play on toys like these, if not these exact ones at Richmond Gordmon in GI, when I was a kid!

 I had to go up & down the slide twice to get Logan to finally go on his own.  And I was thrilled to find out my butt still fits between the sides of the elephant's trunk!

 Meanwhile.... my nearly 31 pound hunka hunka chicken-shit son Hayden.....would not let me put him down. 

 He did finally go inside the camel {which he called the little elephant}.  And 3 days later he still talks about not going down the elephant side because he was "tare-d" {scared}

 We found a water table & he FINALLY decided to play!!

 And last but certainly not least.... we found the ball room!!!!!

 

 Ryan showing us how things work around there.

 Hayden was a big fan of this swing. 

 You pulled a rope which pulled the swing "up a kye" {up in the sky} so he could "wig a sky" {swing in the sky}

More playing...

We had a great time & will definately be doing it again!!


Saturday we decided to have a fun, healthy, family outing.  So we hit up the Strategic Air & Space Museum.  A lot of the things there are a few years beyond our kids, but you can't go wrong with 2 year olds & airplanes!!  {Note to anyone who goes- dress warm.  Those airplane hangers can be chilly!}

The boys now actually can say a version of hellicopter, instead of calling them airplanes too!

They have a lot of interesting historical information & artifacts.  Not sure exactly where this came from or when it was used, but a panel of buttons & 2 red phones makes me a little uneasy!!

A purple heart!!

On a side note- independent toddler boy feet here.  Hayden INSISTED on wearing one white sock & one blue sock.  Weirdo!

There were some quarter riding toys {think riding horse at the grocery store} in the shape of airplanes, a tank & a helicopter.  And this toy for the kiddos to play on.

And one place to play with a control panel & crawl inside a cockpit!  The kids could have played there all day!

All this, followed up by a lazy, laundry filled Sunday.  Pretty much a perfect little weekend!
