City Museum (November 28)

Saturday, November 28, 2009

After Tyler's fencing tournament, we all headed over to the City Museum for some family fun.  It's a favorite of ours, but we haven't been since Ryan was about a year old, but the littles are finally big enough to climb and enjoy most of it. 

 The outdoor climbing area is Tyler's favorite part, and Ryan loves it, too.  James, however, was a little nervous about the height, so he spent most of his time dancing and running around on the ground level.

Ryan found his way to the fire truck in the sky!

There were marshmallows for roasting...

and big slides for sliding!

Back inside, Ryan and Tyler climbed the giant slinkies and enjoyed the 4 story slide while James danced on the fin of a whale and on a wave.

When the big boys were worn out and ready for a break from climbing, we grabbed a quick lunch and visited the museum's aquarium, where we enjoyed lots of touch tanks and, Tyler's favorite, saw several two-headed turtles and a two-headed snake.

At the ray touch tank:

James loves animals!

Ryan enjoyed checking out the turtles before he was eaten by a giant fish.

The tunnel through the shark tank is always the best part of the aquarium!

There's even places to climb inside the aquarium!

Once we had had enough of the aquarium, we ventured over to the building and art rooms to satisfy our little artist.

We ended our visit in the skateless skate park, where all of the boys ran and climbed until they were exhausted.

Tournament - Olympia Quarterly (November 28)

Saturday, November 28, 2009

Tyler fenced in a little tournament in St. Louis this weekend and came home with a gold medal!  Granted, there was only one other kid entered in his event, but Ty had fun and fenced quite well, winning the pool bout five to zero and the direct elimination bout ten to one.

Starting Back Up (November 24)

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

I've been telling myself for a year or better that I've got to get back to blogging.  The boys are growing unbelievably quickly, doing lots of fun (and funny!) things, and I haven't been taking the time to record any of it.  Starting today, I'm going to try to remember to update at least a couple of times a week...we'll see how this goes. 

We had a pretty mellow day today.  Tyler finished his World War I study and Ryan worked on his numbers and the letter n.  James and Ryan both made cute handprint turkeys in preparation for Thanksgiving.  Tonight is fencing class for Tyler and then all three boys need to finish working on their Christmas gifts for their Popo and Mame. 

No pictures from today, but I'm going to work backwards and post some from earlier this month.

Edit (Dec. 5) - All of our pictures and fun from October and November are now posted.  I changed the post dates to reflect the dates that things actually happened, so if you'd like to see what we've been up to, please visit the archive!  I'll continue to work on posting as things happen, and when I get a chance, filling in the blanks for the year I missed!
