Family Fun x 3

After we got back from our week of fun in Ohio we had a fun day planned with some good friends at our local kids museum.  The kids couldn't wait to see everyone (especially since they have been playing with only each other for almost 2 weeks :)  We met at the museum when they opened this morning at 10am.  We took the opportunity to take a picture of them all together...while they weren't all running in opposite directions.

First, a quick blast from the past...Winter Break 2010

And now Winter Break 2012...I can't believe how big they are!! Crazy! I love these kiddos.

We had a great morning at Imagine It.  A "few" field trips were there, but we figured out a plan pretty quickly to stick together, rotate AWAY from the large groups and take full advantage of the show and lunch time.  While everyone else was busy, we had the place to ourselves. Love it.  Brother and HBjr playing in the moon sand.

Sister and GM

Sister played for a few minutes and they headed over to one of her favorite stops...painting.  She did great today, no paint on her clothes...woo hoo.  It's the little things you know?!

Hmm... I can't remember little HB's name on the blog, maybe that will work...little HB...he liked painting too :)

Little HB and his Dad driving Clifford's truck.

Sister trying to climb Clifford, so glad Hubby was able to get the picture instead of getting her down :) Knowing her she probably slid down his tails 2 mins later.

Planting flowers.

The rotating exhibit right now is Clifford".  I think the kids really enjoyed it, we will have to go back on one of the "no field trip" Mondays to check out anything we might have missed.

The conveyor belt took the bones (or cute little girls) to the top.

Having fun in the tree house!

Can you see him behind the tree?

Up and away with the big kids :)

The treehouse was nice for the adults too...only one way in and out, so if we watched the gate we knew we were safe :) It was great to have some catch up time with some good friends.

Moving on to the store...

and the shipping truck.

I love these ladies! The Lord has blessed me with some wonderful, Christian friends.

The boys "cooking" dinner...

or maybe just eating it :)

I got almost all the kids in this one...missing Sister, no telling where she ran off too.

Oh! There she is :)

HB having fun with little HB...ha  The balls are always a fun part of our day!

We "might" have started throwing them at each other...or in the buckets, you choose.  I was aiming for buckets. I am pretty sure the kids were dumping them on us on purpose.

Sister got bored again and found her way over to the trains...she is a slippery little thing.

Ha! This cracks me up...I am sure they were wondering why there was a big flash in the cave.  Hubby is silly like that.

Dress up time!  Both my kids love dress up, and from the amount of time we spent here, I think all the kids too.  I love JB's face in the mirror...and Sister's dress (she is a "mermaid").

After the museum we headed to the Varsity for lunch.  A fun (and yummy) stop while we were in Atlanta.  We had to search a little for enough seats (a lot of field trips were there too, go figure), but at least people more in and out of that place pretty quickly.  The kids kept themselves amused while we waited to eat...

The girls...

vs. the "pirate" boys.

and a cute little one in the middle.

ha! I can only imagine what they were discussing.

Love it!

And I also love that the Lord has placed some great friends in our life.  They are always there when we need them, our kids have a blast together, and  we are blessed to be walking on together on the path the Lord has for our lives.  I can't wait until our next family fun day :)
