Fun Is Sure Tiring
The kids did really well in the hotel overnight. Justin did wake up screaming “people are scaring me”, nightmares from his Rainforest Cafe experience. We got up and gave the kiddos a bath. They had so much fun playing with bars of soap. I don’t think they have ever had a bar of soap. They kept on saying slippery and it kept slipping out of their hands. We met Kevin and Kristi and gang downstairs and had breakfast. Daddy put juice in a mug, and the kids thought they were drinking cups of tea. I got to get my baby fix and held Brennan. After breakfast we all went to the park and let the kids play.
The kids had so much fun. Then we headed to The Discovery Science Center. What a great museum for our kid’s age. There was a fire engine and ambulance to play on. There was an awesome water area, Justin was in heaven. He just loved this area. The kids were touching, pushing, and playing with everything. I will download some pictures when we get home. There was a bubble area as well.
After the museum we headed to a great park to meet up with some friends and have a picnic dinner. There was a train at this park, so since Justin and his buddy Danny love trains, we had to ride on it. The kiddos played on the play structure for a long time. There was a big army plane as well as a train to play on. It was a really cute park. Nicole and Justin were sliding down the slide together. This is the first time they have gone done like a choo choo, they were all smiles and loving being with each other. We went to eat dinner and there were so many bees wanting to eat with us, so we ate in the car. The kids loved it. They were more into playing in the car rather than eating. Bret’s old college buddy Andy and his wife Corey and son Grant came to meet us at the park. It was so funny we were watching Justin and we watched him go up to another dad. He grabbed his leg and asked the guy to swing him. He thought it was Bret, we were laughing so hard. In Justin’s defense the guy was dressed like daddy with a hat, etc. I can’t believe how much our kids did today and only one little meltdown from Nicole. It was getting late and dark so we headed back to the hotel. Of course the kids were starving. I was talking to the kids about their huge day and Nicole said don’t say that word huge, I don’t like that word. We were laughing so hard. We got the kids to sleep as soon as we could and now we are unwinding and getting ready for our trip to Monterey tomorrow. I am excited to take the kiddos there. We are having such a great time with our friends.
