The AMAZING Museum

My Mom is in town so I wanted to take her somewhere new and had heard great things about the Phoenix Childrens Museum, but it was way more than great.... It was AMAZING!!!!

This was Chase's face the whole time he was there. It was like this place was made for him.

This was us at the flower market where Ella was arranging bouquets and selling her flowers.

This was my absolute favorite, the grocery store. They had actual shelves with reusable food items and playfood, with the little grocery carts, checkout stands and even the loading dock. Super cute!

Selling Ice cream cones to Grammy Sue and Chase

These were little reading nooks where the kids could relax and read books.

Such a simple concept, but this was one of Chase's favorites. Painting rocks with....Water! Yep kept him entertained for 20 minutes. Now I need to buy some paint brushes for the backyard.

Ella painting the ginormous castle.

Landon building a fort. They had a blast using all these random materials to build with.

This really was what Chase loved, was this bike car wash. He went around over and over again.

and this is the new building structure that is just massive and goes 3 stories high. It was worth every dollar. And I can't wait to go back for more!!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

We started our Memorial Day weekend with the twins Graduation. Yeah! Here is Chase and Grandma Linda waiting patiently for the ceremony to begin. It was the longest graduation I have ever been to with 5 musical numbers and 6 speakers. Crazy, but Graci did sing the National Anthem which was really cool, a lifelong goal of mine that I never achieved. (Too scared to tryout) Oh well. She did great though!

Tori, Graci and our Family

Then Tricia had a BBQ for the whole family with lots of ribs, chicken and other yummies.
Then it was some swimming time.
