When kids are little, every day seems to be pretty much the same. Now that Enoch has started Kindergarten, we've begun to notice a difference between Saturday and every other day. We've tried to get out and do some fun things on Saturdays to celebrate!
So a few weeks ago we went to the Nuclear Science and History Museum. It was really interesting, but after about 3 minutes, both the boys were crying and saying they wanted to go home and get out of there! I think it was mostly due to the fact that there was a hands-on exhibit that kept making a REALLY loud noise. Then, thank heavens, they found the toys! A couple hours later, I was the one wanting to get out of there, but couldn't pull the kids away! It was a lot of fun to spend time together.
Victor set up a cool marble run to help entertain the boys. Well, that's his rationale anyway. I think he was just having too much fun...
Enoch was having a blast with the gears and seeing how many he could put together. Pretty fun!
Andrew enjoyed the blocks. (So did Victor.)There were lots of cool things to do there, and lots of neat exhibits. Thumbs up!
Then last weekend we went to the west mesa and found a short little hiking trail to go on with the kids. It was only about 1 mile round trip, which was just right for the boys. And a nice view at the top. It was an old volcano, and Enoch kept asking me if lava was going to come out while we were hiking. He even found the hole at the top where he thinks the lava comes out! Ahhh, the way a kid's mind works is funny!
Victor and the kids. We forgot our carrier for Lynn, but had the stroller in the car. We did okay until the end when we had to climb up the rocky parts. Then we left the stroller and just carried her.
Me and the kids. Looking great! :)
The view from the top. A short, but fun hike. And this weekend's outing deserves a post of it's own. Stay tuned...
