We took the kids to a farm/pumpkin patch this year. It was a nice warm day. The kids had fun riding on the hay ride, bouncing in the bounce houses, seeing the animals, going through the hay maze, and decorating their very own pumpkins. Jaxon really did have fun despite his gloomy disposition in some of these pictures.
Kenli wanted me to curl her hair for Sunday. Once it was done she just looked so cute not to get a few pics of it. Here she is posing for the camera. I love that she is actually asking me to do her hair!
Drey is such a happy guy. One thing he has loved doing lately is putting things on, glasses, hats, etc. He found some glasses that we had gotten from the theater and he thinks it is absolutely hillarious to have them on. He puts them on and then just laughs and laughs. I will have to try and get some video footage of it is really funny. I think he looks adorable with them on...although it does remind me a little of Drew Carey.
The game was our last stop and it was great. The kids were happy, and the D-backs actually won. Even though our "day out" didn't go as planned I know we all had fun just hanging out together.
So the museum wasn't that great, but we had tickets to the D-backs game that night...what to do between now and then? We went out to lunch, then we decided to go visit out Capital building. This would have been a great idea, except that State buildings are closed on Saturday. Another bust. We were unable to go inside the building, but Jaxon and Drey did enjoy walking around and looking at things. Kenli on the other hand was still grumpy. Lucky for us she was happy at the game.
We took our kids to the Challenger Space Musuem a few weeks ago. It didn't quite go how I envisioned it. First I thought the museum was in Mesa, which is about 25 min. from where we live, but no it was in Peoria. Peoria is a little over an hour away from our home. Once I figured this out I didn't really want to go, but I had already told Jaxon and he had his heart set on it. So, we went. Once we got there, an hour later, the kids were all a little sleepy. Kenli and Drey actually fell asleep, so when we woke them up Kenli was grumpy and all Drey wanted to do was play. This was not to our advantage once we got inside the musuem. It was FREE museum day so the place was packed. Drey couldn't get down and walk so he was getting upset. Kenli was still honory and now hungry too. Jaxon was excited at first, but I that wore off soon. It was so hard for him, or us, to really enjoy anything because there were so many people. We did see a few cool things, but all in all I think this museum visit was a bust.
