Kidspace!

We LOVE this museum. We have been here two other times. HERE IS THE LINK scary to think how little they were, even just a year ago!

Auntie Stephanie and Phil met us there and we had a B L A S T!

We had an issue with Mason's shoes this morning. Then when we got there, put them on, he wouldn't wear them. So...he was bare foot the whole time. Who cares, right? right?

The other kids were climbing and exploring and I tried to show the kids the perspectives of things. I really wanted Phil to be in this picture, but it didn't happen. I did manage to get this gem of Mason...

And one more...

I wish you could know him. He is like this ALL day. Hahaha.

Juliet, Scarlett, and Bridget all climbed to the top of this climber. It is a 52 foot climb!

Mason cheered them on.

Lucas and Phil made lunch.

My kids adore their cousin Phil.

They love little people a lot, but love Philly Willy, especially Bridget, who gave him that name.

It was time to go outside.

Even though Lucas and Bridget can ride 2 wheelers, they like didn't mind riding the tricycles.

It also helps that they only had 3 wheelers. 

If you wonder about Juliet and Mason being "rivals," don't. They are good little friends. They even have their own speak/language. Kind of like twins do.

 Even when she shoves him off a slide. All you hear is pure laughter.

Just as we were about to leave this parkish area, Mason scared himself.

Apparently, more than one Mason is too much.

We walked up the path. Bridget and Philip led the troops.

We played the water symphonies.

Someone didn't appreciate the splash back.

There was a climbable Spider Web. If Juliet could do it, Phil could too!

Then we walked over to the coy and turtle ponds. Stephanie and I thought there was a dead one and couldn't stop cackling about it. It was so funny for some reason. It was like the laugh you can't stop and then forget why you started, kind of laugh.

Phil loved being with my Witte's.

I know this because he told me.

Then through the decks and onto rock climbing.

 Nathan helped Juliet and she was TERRIFIED. "JuJu scared" she screamed.

 Bridget on the other hand had no problems.

 I managed to get up too!

 We climbed the vines, and then went to have a snack.

 After snack we went to the new Physics Portion outside.

This was worth the high admission. I looooved this entire 12 point exhibit.

The babies were in the baby area, and I took the older crew to the stations.

Phil weighs more than Lucas. J/K

I took notes and made a few plans for our summer to recreate this stuff at home!

Here are some highlights of other exhibits.

The Giant Lever was a favorite.

 

This was another fun one. you spin the wheel and air comes out. 

 Bridget almost blew away!

 The other side blew mist, if you pushed the wheel.

Nathan over explained it (as usual)

We ended the museum with a splash.

Mason got this HUGE drop in his ear and we were cracking up. It sounded like a cartoon sound effect.

SPLAT! His face was so funny, like WHAT?!?!

We went to the park and Nathan got King Taco.

We ate WAAAAY too much.

It was soooooooo good.

What a fun day. For dinner, Dad made Cobb Salad with the Ham and Eggs. (and the other traditional items)

I love Cobb Salad!

Whew! What a day!
