Life on vacation!!

It sure would be nice to live on vacation for ever!! The kids loved playing every day and especially swimming in the pool! They asked every minute if they could go swimming! First thing in the morning we headed down to the pool only to be disappointed that the water pretty darn cold! Did they kids care?! Nope! Only Carder! Who cried when I put him in the water with me! We spent most of the time kicking our feet on the side of the pool!

Caleb was a little chilly but he didn't seem to mind! He was so happy to be swimming!

Ty definitely does not need this floating device! Silly kid! He is a good little swimmer! He was just playing around!

 Mara thought the hot tub was a lot better!

This sweet little boy was not a fan of the cold water, and the hot tub was too hot for him! But he did enjoy watching his brothers and sister swim and play!

After swimming all morning it was time for the Tree House Museum. What a great place! It was an amazing museum for children. So many fun and hands on exhibits. We had such a fun time! 

 The boys loved this part of the museum, it was a pully-system where they put a parachute man at the bottom and then pull a rope that takes them up to the top to be dropped from the top and tried to land on a bulls-eye at the bottom! The boys loved this!

 The next thing we did was the music room. So many fun musical instruments! This kid had a blast beating his drum!

Mara making her sweet music!

 The kiddos worked on this flag puzzle together.

This was a fun map of the US that asked questions and the kids had to try and find the answer on the map.

 Little sweetie posing for the camera!

 The other fun part of the museum was the play they put on. They asked for volunteers to help act out the story. At first my kids didn't want to participate but since there really weren't many kids there everyone got to help out.

It was a really cute story called Too Much Noise and each child had either a stuffed animal puppet or dress up clothes. Ty was the donkey, Mara was the car, and Caleb was the pig! They did a great job in the play!

 Next we went to the Wild West exhibit. Here is my cute little cowgirl!

And check out this awesome kid! Ride-em cowboy! 

Is he not the sweetest little cowboy kid you ever did see?!!

Queen Mara at your service! She thought it was pretty fun dressing up like royalty and sitting in the thrown!

Check out that huge chess board! Caleb thought it was a lot of fun playing with the huge pieces! 

 Caleb liked putting together this knight puzzle!

 Ty said this was his favorite thing...building a life size castle with all the pieces. You can move them all around and make it however you want. 

The finished castle! Ty could have played here all day!
