Happy Labor Day!

What an amazing weekend we have had!  Too bad every weekend doesn't include an extra day.  We headed out of town to visit the cousins now that they are all settled into their new house.  The kids were great on the drive - even if we did have to stop six times in as many hours on the way up.   

On Saturday morning we headed out to the Museum of Science and Industry.  I forgot hte camera in the van so I don't have any pictures of this part of our adventure.  I wish I did because the kids loved it.  There was a portion of the museum that was all hands on creative activites for kids.  There was even a portion set aside for little bitty guys, so Jack was able to get in on the action too.  Other highlights included walking on an airplane suspended from the ceiling, driving a simulated combine, and exploring a train.  We need to go back because we only saw a tiny part of it.

On Sunday we headed to the western part of town for an 1890's fair.  From music machines, to jugglers, to a stilt walker.  This place had it all! 

I think their favorite part was the hayride through the fields.  Doesn't Max look too cute in his sunglasses.  So grown up!
The kids also had fun with all the farm animals on display.  Will got up close and personal with a chicken and Max took this cute little lamb for a walk.


Other than these two outings we just enjoyed time with the cousins.  There were a few playground outings, lots of backyard fun, and several delicious meals.  The weekend couldn't have been any better.
