When Kefford leaves...

This weekend Kefford was gone on a little trip to Chicago with his cousin so they could pick up his cousins car and drive it to Idaho. While he was gone I had to find some way to keep the kids occupied and happy so on Saturday we took a trip to the discovery center. The kids loved wandering around and experimenting with the displays, I loved watching them. They were really having fun when they got to play in the "veterinary clinic". This was one of the favorites!

Dr. Kenedy is helping my pet turtle to get better.

After they had their fill of taking care of animals we moved on.

Ryker thought this "how bones move" demonstration was cool. Unfortunately his legs were not quite long enough to get the full effect.

Tough girl Rylee laying on a bed of nails! Tough girl Avynlea taking her turn. I had her make the nervous face for the picture.
The kids then got to go shopping in the little interactive store. This was also a lot of fun and I was really impressed with the concentration they used and how they were willing to clean up and "re-stock" the shelves. They even re-stocked baskets full of items that were left by other kids.

We had a really fun time and the kids all told me thank you and how much fun they had. That evening my friend Mary Howell and I took our kids over to Carl's Jr. to eat and play. We ended up staying 2 hours cause the kids were having so much fun. It was also nice to sit and have a friend to talk to.

This was a fun day for us all!
