Future All-Stars

I don't think we'll have any pro sports players in our family, but we sure had a good time watching Beth and Jonas try to make baskets and hit a ball with a bat!

Funny Faces

These kids are always making goofy faces lately!

Crabs

Jonas really likes to play with hermit crabs. Grandma got 3 of them for her house- one for each grandchild. Jonas will even pick them up when they are coming out of their shell now.

Sandbox Time!

It was so great to have a day nice enough in March to play in the sandbox. The kids loved it!

Time Out?

This is what happens when you put Jonas in time out when he didn't take a nap!

God Bless You, Abby!

Abby was absolutely gorgeous on her dedication day. She has already been such a blessing to us!

Jonas...the Rebel

Mohawks and tattoos...what will be next?!?

Great Grandma's House

We went to visit Great Grandma last night. She got to meet Abby, and Jonas had a lot of fun playing with his cousins, Chris and Dan.

The Rest of the Museum

We looked for a few minutes around the rest of the museum. It wasn't quite as exciting. Jonas kept asking what he could touch and was disappointed that there wasn't very much that he was allowed to! They did like to look at the animals though. Jonas told me is was like going to the zoo, except all of the animals are dead!

Digestion

There was a whole area about digestion - complete with a giant nose that dripped "snot" and a poop machine! The kids loved it!

Use Your Hands!

There was a whole part about your hands. We put our hand under a microscope and saw how different all of our hands are. There were also puzzles and boxes you could reach into and guess what was inside.

Move Your Body!

Grover led the kids in some games to encourage them to move. They danced and played "Grover Says"...but really they just jumped around and did whatever they wanted. Jonas kept claiming he was tired every 30 seconds, so it kind of went in spurts!

The Count's Castle

We learned about the insides of the body in the Count's castle. The highlight was a really cool organ that sang different songs about your organs when you pushed the buttons. Jonas got some practice recognizing his numbers, too!

The Grocery Store

The "grocery store" in the exhibit was a huge hit. The kids learned about eating healthy while making their own giant sandwiches, and filling up their baskets with plenty of fruits and veggies. Jonas really like restocking the shelves, and made sure everyone's baskets were emptied into the right spots!
