Hooray for UEA

I love when the kids are out of school and we can can play schedule-free for a few days. We started off UEA on Thursday, by going to the Aquarium with Lauri & girls. The little kids loved the Jellyfish and the Octopus, and they all had fun playing on the boat. None of my kids wanted to touch the Stringrays, they all thought that was too GROSS!

HAPPY KIDS

A NOT so HAPPY kid


Friday we spent the day at the Gateway with Holly & kids, exploring the Children's museum and having lunch. Forgot my camera, so no pictures.

Saturday we had lots of plans, but when we discovered 2 boxes of LEGOS on our front porch, the plans went out the window, and the kids+Bruce, literally played LEGOS for 10 hours straight. Thanks Cindy! Over the next 18 years, everytime I step on one, I'll be cursing your name. :)

Monday my friend Sage and three of her kids came to play all day. We had a BLAST!!!

And Tuesday was Emma's birthday so we headed up to This is the place for her party. It was freezing, but we still had fun.
