Fun Friday at CMoP

I wanted to do do something special with the boys last Friday in honor of our last Fun Friday before the start of the big school year so I talked my sweet friend and neighbor, Christine, into taking us with them to the Children's Museum. It's been a long time since we've gone and we were all excited to see what was new. It was also Caleb's FIRST trip here. As the third babe, he is not privvy to all the "enrichment" activities we did with the first, and even to a lesser extent the second. Our life is so RICH right here at home!

(Side note - Will noticed right off the "new" big paper mache dragon right by the front door on our way in. You know, that one that looks so fun to climb, the one with the huge sign that says, "No Climbing!" Ohhh, Will!!)

First off the boys had a ball playing on the huge climbing structure in the entry. Can you see this thing behind Will? It's over 2 stories high!!

... and then it was off to the noodle forest, always the favorite. Although, we do get tired of saying, "SLOW DOWN!". Everyone knows that the funnest way to experience the noodle forest is by flying through at 30 mph, running is definitely not 'allowed'!

After the thirty-second, "SLOW DOWN!" we migrated into the grocery store to stock up on some food ... here are the three bigger boys scooping some beans while Caleb looks on.

While Luke and Jared were busy at the grocery store,

Will decided to pop in next door to whip up a pizza...

Jared and Luke took turns checking out, ringing

up, and stocking shelves. Cute boys.

My sweet and beautiful friend, Christine, with her two

adorable boys. Yes, folks. Between us we have FIVE BOYS!

Will took some time to experiment in the ball

studio. Such a fun place for boys!

Friends in cars ...

Me and my three precious gifts! We had a great Fun Friday with the Altavilla's at the CMoP (and not such a great ride home with some cranky boys).

I remembered why two-fold reasons we really enjoyed having a pass here and would love to get a pass again! 1. It's a GREAT spot to play and explore and learn, and 2. After two hours, I am completely ready to hit the road! (The pass is so nice because you can feel like you can come and GO when you want)

Let's be honest, there's only so much high energy, high stimulation, high, high, high, I can take!!
