Becky at Holiday in the Sun is the fabulous host of "We Did It! Wednesday." "We Did It! Wednesday" is all about quality one-on-one time with our children and grandchildren, and sharing ideas of fun things to do together!! You can click on over to Becky and see what others are doing to pick up a few ideas.
A friend of mine recently took her children to their local Children's Museum, which sparked a memory that we hadn't visited ours in a very long time. It moved to it's new, larger location last fall, so everything old seemed new again.
AJ explains the law of gravity to his younger siblings...
And masters the climbing wall in no time flat...
Avery is the creative genius of the family and was in her element with the arts and crafts...
Aiden loved painting too...
Sigourney just ran from one station to the next, to the next, overwhelmed by all the fun activities!
"Is there gluten in any of these items I've selected? Mommy will make me put them back if there is!..."
And who lets their daughter out in public with this much eye make-up anyway?
Washington State beaches are wonderful for driftwood and skipping rocks, but nice sand is a rarity. This is a real treat...
Even Lydia got in on the action (wearing her new favorite outfit from a little girl we love who lives very far away).
"Look at all this cool stuff for babies just learning to sit up...and can you tell I'm still working on those bottom teeth?"
I'm not great with inviting messes into the house, so this was a wonderful opportunity for painting and crafting especially. Their ideas, their supplies, their mess, it's a beautiful thing! And because we homeschool, we were able to go on a weekday morning and practically had the place to ourselves.
Yearly memberships are a bargain for families the size of ours -- it's almost as reasonable to go for a year as it is to go once when you calculate the per visit cost per-person. We upgraded to an annual pass so we can go back again and again. The kids gleefully shared the details of their morning with Daddy when he got home from work and said, "Dad, we can go anytime we want because now it's free!"
Next lesson: economics.
