This was not my favorite exhibit Crown Center has ever done because it was mostly tailored to older kids (ya know, learning and all that versus climbing and doing). There were some things to climb and crawl on for the little ones, but it didn't hold the interest of too many that I could see. Finally we just settled down at the coloring table for a while.
The kids posed for a picture in the gorilla nest!
We end every warm-day trip to Crown Center with a tromp through the fountains (right after our stop at Sheridan's Frozen Custard)! Aron and Sam loved getting wet on such a hot day. Too much slipping and falling and kissing boo-boos for me, though. It can be funny, and sure I laugh, but I don't like it when kids fall on their butts on wet concrete.
Can it be true that my first-born girl is already in her first dance recital? She's been asking to take dance lessons since she could speak, and we finally signed her up in January. She loves it and never gripes about going. Her first recital was in June, and it was really cool. The class younger than her gave us a good laugh: a bunch of 4-and 5-year-olds trying to get dance steps right while watching EACH OTHER for the right moves (blond leading the blond, anyone?). The bottom picture is of Eva and Callie together. I got them both roses. While I'm no stage mom and was a little freaked out by all the estrogen in the changing room that night, I will do anything for my kids. When we can get the cash together, I'm signing up Eva because she's been begging to go also. Four kids in activities gets costly and time-consuming, no? Thankfully we get lots of kicking-around time during the day. What activities do your kids love?
