Children's Museum

We try to make it down to Uncle Terry's and Aunt Amy's when we can, so when the boys had no school on Friday we jumped on the chance to load up the car, pick up Grandma Brenda in Wall and head down to Howard for the weekend!  We woke up Friday morning and headed to Brookings to check out the Children's Museum.  Aunt Amy treated us to Buffalo Wild Wings and then it was off to explore!

check out those mechanic skills

pure muscle!

 This thing was really cool...it looked like clouds and they were alternated so you could climb all the way up...high in the sky! :)  There was a net all the way around for safety.  It took a little for Aiden to warm up to it, but when he did it was almost impossible to get him off of it!

 They had a cool grocery store with shopping carts, fake food, empty boxes of food, and complete with a cash register and check out lane that beeped when you slid the groceries over it...so cool!  We spent a good deal of time in this area.

checking out the cool water station

Aiden found this drum and you'll never guess what he immediately starting playing.... that's right..."Let's Go Rush!"  It was pretty much hilarious!!

Tyson working in the huge Lego room

Nice work buddy!

Aiden back playing in the clouds:)

 There was a media room where you could dress up and pretend to be newscasters with a camera man and everything.  Grandma and Aiden tried out their media skills.

Lookin good Grandma!

Check out that team work!

Aiden's hiding in the back...silly boy!

The boys...and all of us actually...had a blast!  There were so many cool things to do!  We spent over 3 hours there before heading back to Aunt Amy's for the evening.  The weekend flew by as always.  We went to Sioux Falls Saturday, and then headed back home on Sunday.  Thanks so much Uncle Terry and Aunt Amy for a wonderful weekend!  We can't wait til we get to do it again!
