Another visit to the Chlidren's Museum

We headed down to the Children's Museum again today with Kristen, Nathan and Julia. I just really love all the exciting things to do with the kids there. They can actually run around and get into all kinds of things and not get into trouble. The first picture is a little table that was full of sand, the kids had all kinds of things to play with in it. They can make all kinds of marks and designs with the different things. Then the last picture is of Ben cycling Julia and Matthew through the carwash. They just loved it so much, actually Nathan pushed them around but that is okay. They had a lot of other stuff as well but my camera died. Ben got to do some artwork as well while we were there. He used glue very well and didn't make a mess of himself or glue his fingers together, so that was neat. Benjamin just loves Julia and of course Kristen and Nathan. So to spend a day with her was just so much fun for him. They had a new toy there that the kids really liked. It had a pipe that went everywhere and then out the top. You place a fabric ball in one end and the pressure shoots it through the pipes and shoots it out the top. Matthew happened to stand right where the balls were shooting and just loved it. I tell you, to make a wonderful kids room, that is the place to go for ideas.
We had a nice lunch and really enjoyed having a day out, especially since it was free admission. Who can argue with that? I hope we get to go again another day and have more fun.

Easter

We had a great Easter together and ate way too much food. We thought that finger foods would be nice to munch on all day, it was way too much food that we just gorged ourselves with. Anyways, the kids woke up and found the eggs and baskets and had a blast. We had Bill's parents and Kristen, Nathan and Julia over too. We had so much fun just jabbering and watching the kids play. They all got to do an egg hunt, which Ben and Julia caught on really quick. We flew some kites, Kristen saved the day by catching the runaway one. We also blew some bubbles until I got light headed. Matthew just wanted to eat the eggs, Ben wanted all the eggs and Justice didn't want to share his eggs. They all had a good time and so did we. Here are some pictures to prove it!! I sure did miss my family back home and wish we all could be together.

Benjamin and Julia looking cute after hunting for eggs, Ben was already getting into his candy.

Justice loved the bubbles he got and Matthews, who says big kids can't have fun?

Ben wanted to keep dipping the eggs in the different colors. You should have seen the color of his hands...they worked better than the spoon he thought.

I think he just wanted Daddy out of his basket...he just wanted to eat the grass.
