Weekend Fun With the Kids

Friday, the kids and I hit the Science Center. They had a great time in the Discovery Room. It is geared to kids ages 3 and up, but they had plenty for Natalie & Rebecca to do too. Rebecca liked the bells and rang them constantly for 15 minutes or so. Natalie liked the building area and the book corner. John loved everything. He played drums in a teepee, watched fish in the aquarium, played at the water table, worked on "his" computer and even got to pet a big cockroach. Ugh! After the Discovery Room we checked out the dinosaurs, which John actually wasn't scared of this time. We had some lunch and then walked over the bridge that goes over the highway. The bridge has big glass tiles in the floor that you can look through, straight down to the highway. Rebecca did not want to walk on them.

Saturday my mom and I took the kids to the Greentree Festival. We spent a little time shopping all the booths, but most of the day was spent on the playground.

John didn't want his picture taken
