Spring Break, Part II

While the first part of the week was spent in Kentucky, the second half was equally as full, even though we were 'only' at home. I had several errands to run on Wednesday, the first day after we returned from our trip. Unfortunately for the kids that meant a lot more car time. However, I did mix it up a little and they had some fun things here and there. Plus, the game "War" was rediscovered recently, so they played that in the car between Costco and the bank and all of the other boooring places I had to drag them to.

Thursday morning we ran a quick errand and then headed out to DACKids, which both Maddux and Eli love. We brought our lunch and spent about three hours there. The kids played in the sand, on the wooden structure, with the nerf-ball blasters...it was a blast! Maddux and Eli really had a great time playing with just each other; we weren't able to coordinate schedules for anyone to join us, but the two of them didn't seem to mind at all.

On Friday we ended our week-o-free-schedule with a trip slightly north to visit the Tellus Science Museum for the first time. We walked through exhibits on the evolution of transportation of all kinds (including shuttles!), exhibits on gems and fossils, and many 'bone' exhibits. At the end, we watch a movie on space in a planetarium and got to dig for our own fossils. Eli found a shark tooth and was so excited. This week was a great preview of our summer!
