Recap of Time with Family: Part 2

Continuing the recap of our time with family...again, there's a TON of pics in this post!

The boys had a blast playing with Psalm and Pascha. When we couldn't find the two older ones (Psalm and Peyton) we realized they were down in the guest room jumping from the guest bed to the blow up mattress that we'd put down there. Here's some pictures of the action...

We were able to enjoy some grown up boy and girl times which was very fun to just be able to do whatever with out all our little people. The guys went golfing on Friday morning and had a beatiful day on the links!

Us girls went to some antique shops and children's consignment stores...we didn't get a picture of us all because we were to busy shopping cause we were on a mission! Whitney found a great window pane that she's going to re-purpose into a chalk board and put cute hooks on to hang coats, can't wait to see it! We also found some great clothes for all the kiddos which is always a score!

While the guys went golfing we took the kids to McWane Science Museum in downtown Birmingham, it was a lot of fun, though a bit crowded in sections. The kids had a ton of fun seeing and playing at the different exhibits!

The water table was a hit...

There was a humongous keyboard on the floor that was really fun for them and Gigi even got in on the action with a little ditty of Chop Sticks!

There's a lifesize LightBright that Lawson thought was pretty cool...

They had a two and under area that had soft blocks and padded wedges for little tikes to crawl on and Emerson had a big time in there...

The big kids made a tower out of lifesize blocks and Psalm crawled up and sat right on top, how cool is that?!

Lawson loved the construction vehicle and crane...he enjoyed picking up the blocks and dumping them into the "construction site"...

We moved on to the Aquarium portion, and the kids enjoyed touching the hammer head shark and sting ray...
