MOST (Museum of Science and Technology)

We found out that our Science Center Pass is good at over 100 Science Center's world wide. We heard about one in Syracuse, so we decided to take a day and go visit it. It has this HUGE play structure, which if the kids are 4 or younger must be accompanied by an adult. So, Josh and myself played or rather, tried to keep up, as our children explored this massive structure. It was fun. They even have this slide that goes on and on, around and around. It made me dizzy, but we had fun! We can't wait to visit other Science Center's to see what they all have!! There is even one in Mexico City, so when we go down there we look forward to visiting it. To bad we didn't know of the New Zealand one while we were there. Maybe one day we'll make it back!!

Evan has some great hang time!! He was suppose to jump and run on this mat that is connected to this screen. He did pretty good after awhile, he even stole the ball from the other player. I believe it was on accident, but he was intrigued by the whole thing.


Josh even had to crawl through tunnels.


This is part of the big playhouse. Don't worry, I had to climb through all these too!


This was an overlook. Another one just like it led to the swirling slide that never ends!


Evan and Brayden loved climbing through all the spaces and tunnels, and climbing as high as they could go. They were fast. Josh chased Brayden around, he was WAY to fast for his Mom!




This was a fun exhibit where you tried to shake your own hand. Interesting.

Evan has proclaimed that he loves Science Center's. Josh asked him if he was going to be a Scientist when he grows up and he said he was. Josh then asked him what kind and proceeded to list a few, Evan responded with "it doesn't matter which kind Dad, as long as I'm a Scientist". He is so matter of fact!

"Shoveling"

Josh was suppose to be shoveling. Instead, his kids ambushed him and begged him to play with them instead. He was ok with that.

January Fun

So, I usually find that out of all the months in the year, January is the one month were I don't have as many cute pictures as I would like. So, to remedy that, I have taken a few pictures of what we have been doing. It's been really nice, though, as Josh has been home for awhile and still doesn't have to go back to school for a week!! It has made the worst month of the year fly by and it has actually been a pretty great month! I know there is still half a month left, but it is still going by quickly and I hope it will continue to do so. Anyway, here are some of the pictures we have taken!


Josh is playing with the kids.  Evan is playing dead.  Very cute.


These are the treats Evan wanted to make for FHE.  They are bagel faces.


This is Josh at the Science Center playing the "itcher" game.  Very funny!  Especially when you take into account I stopped spinning and just made up where he should go.  That made for a much funnier and harder game for him!!

Josh caught a tic while we were at the science center.


Like Father like Son.


If there is a button, trust Brayden to be the first to push it!


Both Evan and Brayden thought looking through the magnifying glass was pretty fun!


Great mirror!


Josh blowing bubbles for the kids.  


The kids were under a blanket reading books together.  They really are both very cute kids!!


Happy January!!
