Field Trips!!

We aren't really able to go on a vacation in the summer because it is Joel's busiest time of the year, so I've been trying to make this summer as fun as possible with some field trips. We've just been doing things locally that are fun for adults and kids alike. Some of our favorite spots this summer have been Big Splash, bowling, the zoo, and the free movies at the Riverwalk. This week we tried some more places and had a blast!

On Monday Daddy came home early and we went to Incredible Pizza. We ate all the food we could possibly hold and then went to play some fun games. After cashing in all our tickets for prizes we went back to eat some super yummy desserts! I don't care how young or old you are that place is awesome!!!

Tuesday was a very, very long, fun-filled day. We left home at 8:30 in the morning and met up with Nana Betty and cousins Nate & Alli. We all traveled to Seminole together to visit the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum. It was absolutely fantastic! My mom and I were both so impressed with it (it by far outweighs anything T-town has to offer) that we ended up buying memberships. It will be a place we visit very often throughout the year and the hour-and-a-half drive is completely worth it! The entire museum is set up like a little town where the children can pretend/role play anything they could imagine!

Emergency room... I loved this part of it because the children could ride the bike and the skeleton next to them would mimick their every move so that they could see what their bodies' look like on the inside while riding a bike... how clever!

Is it just me or did any one else out there not know that there are such things as black swans??? These beautiful birds were in the museum's pond out back. Rather than being white with a black beak they are black with red beaks. Absolutely gorgeous and graceful!

After all of that fun we drove to OKC to visit our Granny Bea and didn't get home until 10:30 that night! What a day :)

We tried to take it easy on Wednesday but then Thursday we went all out again on a field trip to the Aquarium with Mamma and Papa. What a cool place! The highlight of the day for the girls was getting to touch the stingrays and sharks.

Check back soon! We're sure to have some more fun to share again next week :) Have a great weekend!
