John and Ryan's Relay for Life Fundraiser!
The boys and I are participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in a few weeks! And the boys have a unique fundraiser!!
They are each trying to complete a hundred piece puzzle
and are asking for a dollar donation per puzzle piece. For example, if a dollar was donated, they would add 1 piece to their puzzle. If five dollars was donated, they would add 5 pieces, and so on and so forth. We are going to keep track of the progress here so please check back regularly!

Pennsylvania Vacation - Day 9
We highly, highly recommend the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery in Dayton, Ohio!! The museum was AWESOME and not very crowded the day we were there.
The boys did a puppet show; an archaeological dig; crawled through boxes and tunnels; played in two different water sensory tables; climbed a circular rope tube which led to two different slides and two different climbing towers, one of which took you above the roof; used pulleys to send a bag of tennis bags up a level to each other and then dropped them in tubes back down; played with wind and different sized balls; danced in a heat activated color changing wall; touched living things from the ocean; visited the tree house and watched for birds on the many bird feeders; drove a pretend car; played vet with stuffed animals; sorted wooden pictures of recyclable materials and put them in a garbage truck, then pushed a button to move them on a conveyor belt out the back of the truck; sat in and played with a mini crane; visited the zoo with meer cats, a bobcat, turtles, skunk, otters, and reptiles; played with Legos; crawled inside a giant turtle shell; saw jewelry and a drum from Ethiopia; and watched (or rather the boys napped through) a great planetarium show about the night sky. WOW!!!
This was a great way to end the vacation!!!!!!!!!!!

We left Mike and Teri's about 7:45am and arrived at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio a bit earlier than we had planned, always a good thing! We spent about 3 1/2 hours looking at airplanes and visiting the aviation hall of fame that had some fun, hands on things to do. Mike loved looking at all the planes (as expected) for a second time as we have visited once before and the boys did okay (also as expected!)

The boys were very excited to see chairs out along the way:

There was a playground outside we played on while Mike looked at the outside planes and took more video footage (I think there's about 30 minutes of all the planes!). Then the boys then played with their treasures from the gift shop: spring launched plastic airplanes:

Pennsylvania Vacation - Day 7
Today we slept in and have had a restful day. Teri, Mike, John, and Ryan and I went to a park for a while and then stopped at The Toffee House which is run by one of Mike and Teri's friends. We were given three different samples - DELICIOUS and WOW and YUM!!! (I made off great with the Odds and End basket of toffee and chocolate.)
Then we headed home for lunch and spenpt the afternoon playing Wii - the boys first Wii experience:
