Children's Museum with Ashley

Ashley, my cousin, came and stayed with us for a few days last week. We loved having her here! We had a great few days. On Friday we went downtown to the San Antonio Children's Museum. I thought Weston might be too young for it but he loved it! We had a great time. Here's lots of pictures of the day.
There were fish tanks at the front....so he of course just wanted to stop and stare at those forever. He found a chair just his size!
Next was the bubble room. The first picture is of him and I'm trying to make a big bubble around him. He thought it was more fun to pop it, so we didn't get very far with it.
How does he measure up to David Robinson??? I think he's got some growing to do!!!
This was probably one of his favorite parts. It was a front end loader that he got to operate and ride in. He got a hard hat to wear too. He did NOT want to get out of it!!
The first picture is his hand prints.....can't you tell! Then he got to operate the crane.....his little legs were a little short for it.

This was another favorite of his.....it was a kid-sized HEB grocery store. They had little shopping carts, produce section, and lots of food on the shelf to choose from. He had a blast pushing his cart around. He knew exactly what to do. I think he's watched mom a time or two. He got lots in the produce section.....that's my boy :) Here's what he ended up with in his cart. It's pretty funny to see what all they pick up.

Here's a video of my little grocery shopper.....
We got to go into a little class they were having. Weston made a masterpiece of fruitloops and lucky charms....well actually he ate most of it while I made the picture. He didn't even care if it already had glue on it....he ate it right off the paper!

They had a kid-sized airplane that you could get in. Weston loved pushing all those buttons.

At the end was a big section with lots of balls. They all went through tubes and different things to get into one big pile at the top. Then all of a sudden it would drop all the balls on you. He loved watching it and playing with all of the balls.
We had a great time! Thanks Ashley for taking the time to come see us and making the drive down to see us. We love you lots!

Those mango and lime fruit bars Weston picked out look goooood. And waffles? Chris is fan of those, for sure. Haha. Pretty good cart control he had for his size! Looks like a fun day.
