LEGO'S and more!

This week, we went to see a Lego's exhibit at a museum. It was neat to see all the creativity.
This was some artwork was outside of the museum.


I promised only one group shot!


Lucas wanted me to take his pic through the artwork.


They also had an exhibit by an artist that used some everyday objects in a new way.


And onto the Legos.





This was Eli's favorite.








This solar system was cool!


This also was high on the favorite list.





After looking through the museum, we went to the Art Lab.


Lucas and I stopped at the printing and texture station.





And while Lucas and I were working, I spied Noah and Eli in the cardboard cave. They were drawing with chalk.





Noah's drawing.


Eli's drawing. There were tons of table set up w/varies legos, so if you were inspired by the exhibit - you could be creative and build your own. It was a little hard for the boys to start since they didn't have instructions to follow and if you had an idea - sometimes you couldn't find the pieces that would work. But they did get into it and did a great job.








And their finished projects.


Noah's pacman!


Eli's old fashioned car.


Lucas's version of R2D2. Unfortunately, we could not take our lego artwork with us, but it will be on display at the museum.


All the older cousins building legos.


Tyler is saying "cheese" but obviously not looking at the camera.



Now, we got it! It was a great day. Hope you have a good week.

Eli/Lucas Nana and Papa ish adventure!

So, as I said Eli and Lucas had their Nana Papa adventure a few weeks ago. Unfortunatly, my dad has been working long hours and nearly everyday. He has only had 1 day off since the end of May and it was not the Nana/Papa adventure day. The boys missed him, but Nana did a good job of making the time fun! Papa was able to join the boys for dinner.




Flamming food = F U N!



Building, painting, fixing, doing is always fun!







And on to the state capital building.

Another successful Nana/Papa adventure. I keep thinking they will run out of ideas or the kids won't have fun, but their winning streak is still alive!

My date w/Noah . . .

Eli and Lucas had their Nana/Papa ish (will explain the ish in a later post) adventure a few weeks ago. So, Noah and I enjoyed some one on one time. We enjoyed our day together, the day was rainy that made a perfect indoor activity. Noah wanted to go bowling, so away we went.
Doesn't he look excited!?!?



Noah was first up!



Woo Hoo Noah!



Okay so maybe we need a little more practice bowling!



Guess which shoe is Noah's? HUGE feet right! On to miniature golf.



















Then to laser tag. I was the purple team of course! Noah the blue!



Okay I know it is blurry but that blue light coming around the wall is Noah trying to attack me!







It is a lttle hard to get a decent shot when Noah is trying to shot you! We had a good time and Noah is really looking forward to his own adventure. He has called my mom several times trying to get her to tell him. :) But she isn't giving a clue!
