Children's Discovery Museum

The kids and I enjoyed a fun day at the Discovery Museum, running around, experimenting, playing.  The boys tested their strength pulling 2 giant weights up with a rope pulley.  Naomi got to dig for mammoth bones and make her first painting (and eat paint).  The boys got to create and build things out of cardboard and tape.  But we all had the most fun playing in the TapeScape!  An awesome cave-type play area made completely of packing tape.  That's it!  Tunnels and tubes created out of tape.  The kids had so much fun slipping, sliding and bouncing around.  After the busy day at the museum we ended up at Baskin Robbins for big ol' ice creams.  I love when the boys have days off from school and getting to spend quality time with my kids.  

Winter vacation - Las Vegas

This is the second half of our winter break vacation.  These are pictures from Las Vegas.  We had a nice time wandering around the shops, riding in the gondola, eating at delicious restaurants.   But the most fun we had was when we went to dinner at the Hoffbrauhaus!  The boys were excited to be in a loud environment where people were singing and cheersing (is that a word?) and they got to eat giant pretzels and hot dogs.  They sang along with the drinking songs the band played and cracked up when someone would get spanked with a paddle.  Fun times!
