The fun day continues...

So, after the fun time at the Dallas Cowboys training camp, I took the boys to the San Antonio Children's Museum. Believe it or not, we haven't been yet. And after going, I'm wondering what took us so long!! From now on, we're taking company w/ children here when they visit! It was so much fun! The first room we walked into was a bubble room. There was a tire dipped in bubble solution that you could raise to put yourself inside a bubble as well as two big tables filled w/ bubble solution and all kinds of wands.

More bubbles.

In another part of the museum, here is Jeffrey as a large mama bird.

And Josiah seeing how he "measures up" to David Robinson. Man that guy is TALL!!!!

There were also things to drive....a plane..

a front loader that even dumps real rocks...

and a covered wagon. There was a prarie part of the museum that was set up with an old grocery store, a place to dig in sand for wagon parts buried in the sand...

"milk" a fake cow...

and sleep like a ranch hand.

There were lots more other fun exhibits upstairs, but when we headed downstairs, I was blown away! There was a HUGE grocery store for kids to "shop". I was so impressed with the healthy focus of all the foods and the things on the walls!! There was no junk food at the store....well, there was ice cream, but WHO considers THAT junk food?? And of course, the store was an HEB!

Check out that produce section!

Look at this cool sign over the bread "aisle".

And though it may be admitting to my near-"hippiness", I have to say this was probably my favorite thing at the museum. I've never seen anything like it! It was a vending machine filled with ONLY natural and organic products...way cool!! Of course, we got some stuff out of it!

And look at these signs in the produce section! It's AWESOME!!

Then at the "Kids Cafe" area near the grocery store there was an entire section that showed kids how to make balanced nutritious meals and signs like this one encouraging them to drink lots of water....

I was so thoroughly impressed with the healthy-living focus of the museum (as if you couldn't tell.....I told you, I'm wierd!)

Also downstairs there was this fun puzzle of the USA to put together. One cool thing about this puzzle is that the puzzle pieces are in the actual shape of the state. It was great and the boys did great putting it together.

After the museum, we met Michael for lunch since we were downtown. We ended up at Pizza Gut... um I mean Pizza Hut, a couple of blocks from his office. It turned out to be a very fun lunch. The restaurant was very uncrowded. Love that! They also had a Ms. Pac Man/Galaga game that you could play for 50 cents. Michael challenged the boys to a tournament. The fun ensued! But it didn't take long for the boys to cry "foul" when they realized how good Michael was at the game. Growing up in the 80s pays off!! :-)

Jeremy's intent on the game.

Josiah waiting his turn.

I love that guy!!

And I LOVE days that we get to spend together just hanging out and being a family together!!!! Memories!!!

*By the way, Michael actually DID show up at work this day, we just got to enjoy him for part of it!!
