February 26th, 2012

Our Children's Museum pass was about to expire, so we decided to do one last visit on Anna's birthday. We all had a really great day!

Collin really loved this little toy, simply because it was red.

Here comes the birthday girl!

Enjoying the new Mr. Potato Head exhibit.

Collin LOVED driving this ship!

These tools greatly excited him as well. He is really into fixing things with tools (or tootles as he calls them) right now!

Benjamin and Anna liked this spinning wheel.

Astronaut Mr. Potato Benjamin.

They had a little sea area where you looked up and it seemed like Mr. Potato Head was snorkeling and watching you swim.

Dave (finally) learned how to put on a headband. (Anna had to show him how it goes)

This is one of Benjamin's favorite parts, digging for pieces of a plate from a shipwreck and trying to put them together. He tells us that he wants to be an archaeologist (he says he wants to find treasures and animals to put in museums so people can enjoy them).

Mike and Kathy were sweet and came to enjoy some of Anna's birthday with us at the museum. Anna was so excited by her surprise visitors!

Back to work digging.....

Time to put a statue back together. This was hard work!

They did it!

The birthday girl insisted we visit the Barbie exhibit!

Fashion show....

This is how our days are lately with our Collin-Ollin. Huge fits over the littlest things. This one lasted about 30 minutes because we walked the wrong way and that upset him.

All that crying wore him out and he passed out during the cool airplane movie we got to see.

After some rest he was good as new!

Just a bee and a beaver crossing a log bridge.

And a pretty blue fish shaking her tail fins!

We had a really great visit!!!

After we drove home it was time for a few more presents for the sweet 4 year old!

Her brothers were so excited they gave Anna a huge birthday hug!

Go Anna, go!

New seek and find books.

Time to blow out the candle once more!

After the kids went to bed, I reorganized a lot of their toys to make room for the new kitchen and all of the birthday presents Anna got. Part of my organizing included moving this toy bin set back up to her room and filling it with some of her new toys. When I got up in the morning I noticed her door was closed with the light on. I went down and asked Dave if he had seen her. He said no, so we grabbed the camera and caught her exploring her surprise. It is so like our Anna to quietly start playing with a new discovery and enjoying it in the peace and quiet by herself!
