Today the kids and I went to the Minnesota Children's Museum. Since I've been almost fully in charge of the kids these last couple days (Dusty has been working odd hours and has had other plans) it's been a bit overwhelming. So instead of sitting at home getting irritated I figured we'd load up and try something new.

Max took this picture of Rory and I.

The kids were pretending to be a sleep with the Mama Gorilla and her babies. As you can see, they are really good at pretend sleeping.

We got to enjoy their story time which was ah-ma-zing. This guy? He was hilarious with the kids!

And they got to toss leaves and play in the big parachute after the story was over.

Rory worked on her shopping skills.

Max worked on the construction site.

Let's not forget about the whole water section, the left our sleeves quite damp.

We even got to paint our own faces!

The finished results. (I know, Rory just needs vampire teeth and she'd be complete.)

And while going to and from the museum we got to enjoy the skyway which was an experience in itself! The kids had so much fun watching the cars, buses and especially the big trucks drive below us.

It was a nice way to spend a chunk of our day. Now if only our car naps could have been longer, I think tonight is going to get really long!
