4/26-28/10 - "Stay"cation

Mike requested a couple days off and ended up having four and a half days off in a row - stay-cation time!

We began the week with a visit to the library (the boys liked wearing the headphones and listening to part of a story the best) and then got lunch from Sammies, our favorite burger place.


Tuesday found us using our Kohl's Children's Museum tickets (thanks Gail, Karen, and Beth!) and the boys had a blast!
playing on the crane:

beating on a drum:
pushing a lever to inflate a nylon tube:
mopping the floor:
getting a sandwich ready at Potbellys:
taking care of sick animals (notice how John Eyob is using the syringe, this is the way I give our cat medicine each morning in her mouth!):
pushing the giant plastic push pins:
playing in the middle of a car table:
the giant train table:

pretending to drive the train:

One of their favorite places, the car room:



looking at baby chicks:


Another favorite spot, the grocery store section:








And hands down, their favorite, the water works!





Wednesday Fun - Independence Grove:

The boys loved climbing up the rock wall climb to get to this slide.


Look at these muscles!
Wow, my balance is great!

Mommy's Boys:

John Eyob pushing our friend Eleanor:

What a great stay-cation! Good Night! Sleep Tight!! Thank Jesus for the day and see you in the morning light!!!

(And thanks Julie, Sarah, and Danna for the cute African sheets - the boys love them and John Eyob has claimed the coordinating fleece blanket for himself!)
