"Playdate with the Princess"

 Today we headed out to the children's museum with some good friends to play and enjoy the new exhibit all about fairy tales.  The kids were really excited and I got to use our membership once again, which I always love. Plus, we got a new camera yesterday and it was the perfect opportunity to get some fun pictures of the kids.

Sister and her good buddy, AD.  They are in Sunday School together and were in the same class last year, but go on different days this year, so I love getting them together to play. :)

AD's little sister KD...cutie pie!

We were waiting on the little ones getting their diapers changed, I think, but TY, Brother, AD and Sister let me grab a quick picture before we went off to explore the museum.  (TY and his little sister, MYjr were there with their mom a good friend of ours, MY.  We are in small group together and the kids have fun playing together :)

Brother and TY - buddies!

Meeting Cinderella...the kids loved meeting her and riding in the "carriage".  Even the little girls were excited!

Everyone getting in the carriage...

Brother and Cinderella :)

The girls were loving it!

Sister and Cinderella...still working on my flash / lightening obviously...I still have a lot to learn!

Checking out the fairytale exhibit with friends.

I loved the entrance!

The boys found the balls and stayed their most of the day :)  When it is busy Brother usually has to wait in a long line to do some of the activities, so I think he enjoyed getting to do his favorite stuff as much as he wanted today.

KD and her mom, JD enjoying the moon sand...

Moon sand is always fun!

MY and her little one MYjr enjoying "creating".

Moving onto the paint!  While we were there another little girl started painting herself, her mom said no biggie and let her continue, sometimes I wish I was that easy going and sometimes I am glad I don't go home with paint all over our clothes :)

Back to the balls...the boys really did stay here most of the day. At least until the show started...

Sister and AD milking a cow...always educational.

This is what Brother usually waits all day for...he was giving MYjr a ride ;)

While Brother was playing  a lady from the museum came up and asked if they could take his picture.  I think since it was slow today and a new exhibit had started they were asking parents if they could take pictures of their kids having fun and use them for promotional stuff.  Brother was one of the only boys there, so they asked him to be a king. 

He had fun...the guy kept asking me to make him laugh, he pretty much kept the same smile on his face the whole time, not sure he realized what he was asking!

Grocery shopping...

Another favorite of the day was the cash register.  Brother played with it for a while, Sister just opened it said "no money" and moved along...

We took the opportunity before the "show" started to grab some pictures...I was there!

Everyone had a buddy to sit with... Sister and AD

MYjr and KD...aren't they adorable?! I loved their tutus!

and Brother and TY... good planning :)

Watching the "show"...it was interesting and the kids enjoyed it.  The workers seemed excited about their jobs :)

yay! Me and my munchkins :) Love it!

We ate a quick lunch (another one of my favorite things about this museum... you can bring food in and while we are at it, I LOVE no field trip Mondays too :)

Up, up, up the beanstalk!

and lastly a picture of all the kiddos! They are all looking  (& happy!) Love it!! It was a great day and we had  SO much  fun.  I am so glad we were all able to go :)  I can't wait to get together again!
