4th of July Festivites -Part 2-

So, my last post ended with face painting...

that ended in arm painting.  John only likes it when his face is painted with dirt.

 Stopping to pet the dogs.  There were lots of dogs there.  We need to get a dog.

John got to 'drive' an army truck.

This how big the truck was.  It was pretty cool.

 John saw the big fireman dancing and decided he needed to join him.

Hans even got a free spinal massage.  He had no problems waiting in line for a free massage.

Gus spent the whole time watching all of the people.  There were some pretty interesting characters.

It was a great festival and we had a great time.  We'll have to do it again next year, minus the rain.

Children's Museum

While my parents were here we went to the Children's Museum. My brother got us a membership for Christmas and we've been a few times, but I've always forgotten to take pictures. John loves discovering new things every time we go.



This time they had a room set up like an animal clinic. John had a great time using all of the various instruments on his patient.




Now he uses every pair of headphones he finds as a stethoscope. Maybe he will be a nurse or a doctor.


The train room is always a hit. It doesn't matter how many trains this kid has at home, he is always willing to play trains, anytime, anywhere.




Gardening with Grandma


He couldn't wait to have a turn to fish. I can't wait until next summer so he can really fish.


The museum has a special room for kids newborn to 4. Gus had fun in the infant room.






August was Making A Mess month so they had a toddler activity where they painted with spray bottles.






The museum also has a room set up with a dance floor, a wall full of mirrors, costumes and loud music. John loved this room and spent a good deal of time just looking at himself in the mirror.
