A day of playing!

This past Tuesday we went up to the Dinosaur museum with my cousin Amy and her son Seth and a friend of hers, Kelly and her two sons. During this month, every Tuesday it only costs $2.00 to get into any venue at Thanksgiving Point. Let me just say I am so grateful that we have a pass so that we can go enjoy those days when no one is there. This was a mad house, I felt like I was at Disneyland waiting in a long summer line. We waited for 30 minutes just to get inside the building and once we were in there was people/kids everywhere. Claire spent her time running mostly and hanging on every pole she could. It was fun but I am definatley not going back on a Tuesday.

Later that evening some friends of ours invited us to go with them to a little pond not far from our house to do some fishing. We were so excited to go and do something different and enjoy the outdoors. I realized Claire needed a little chair so I went over to Walgreens and found this Mickey Mouse chair for 1/2 off (love end of the season bargains)! Can you tell she's enjoying it?

Here is Jason's first fish he caught... oh wait, you can't see it? Oh that's probably because it was only 2-3 inches long! There were a ton of these fish and they caught quite a few of them but threw them back in.

Here's our friends Tim and Amy (Amy is 8 months pregnant! and so cute) with Claire- she wanted to be right where the action was.

Claire touched her first fish and wasn't even afraid unlike her mom who tried to get away from it.

This is where I sat and watched them catch the little fish. We had a fun time with them that night. I brought stuff to make smores if there was a fire pit but it got dark so quickly that we ended up bringing them back to Tim and Amy's house and made them in the oven, they were perfect and quite tasty!
