Children's Museum

We headed to the Children's Museum today...got there right when they opened and let me tell you, that was nice. It started to get busy about an hour after we were there. First thing we did was try to load beams onto a truck...Parker LOVED driving the city bus, we did this a few times. Daddy and I sat in back as passengers.
Then we headed to the market, first Parks went shopping, then he was the cashier.
We spent quite a lot of time in the ball area, but this was by far his favorite thing to do in there, roll balls down a ramp!
We headed over to a forest area where we played in some water, did some rock climbing and explored the trees and animals....
Turtle Shell........
This water table was actually one of the first things we did, but it also was one of the last, he sent boats sailing down a big waterfall, and got really wet in the process!!
The very last thing we did......self face painting, he drew the best mustache on himself!!

Thanks for the Children's Museum membership mor mor and pop pop, we had a blast!! Can't wait to go again!

Delicious and Nutricious

Parker's lunch: Banana, green beans, baked beans, and a chicken patty.Parker's supper: Strawberries, tator tot's, grilled cheese sandwich, and veggie straws.
Yes, he really eats this much at 3 years old. He also begs for food all day long. We try to make sure he has a fruit and vegetable with every meal. We are taking monetary donations for his teenage years.

Super Friends!!

Superman and I met Dawn and Batman* at the Maple Maze today. The following video shows what they did most of the time. We actually had to make them stop so other kids could have a turn.

*You may not be able to tell that Parker is wearing a Superman shirt and Alex is wearing a Batman shirt, this was Alex's idea and Parker was more than happy to join in.

New Swimming Class

We started a new swimming class today. Parker was very sad that he wasn't going to have his old swimming teacher Angie. All week he kept saying "Not like new teacher, I like Angie." I thought we might have a problem on the first day but this kid was a ROCK STAR! He floated on his back for 14 seconds, learned a new thing that he loved called the monkey walk (using your hands along the edge of the pool to "walk" back to the stairs...this was his favorite!) He also went to the bottom of the pool twice to retrieve a blue ring, and he swam quite a long way many times with his face completely under water!! After class he said "I really like Jessie!"
