A day at the AZ Science Center

Kids from church enjoying Fantastic Fridays
My little ones
Joshua and Ava this was a giant nose that you threw balls into then at some point it sneezes them out at you and blows out lots of air
Joshua was moving the clouds all around

They are trying to put a penny in the well to watch it spin down
At the end of the day we lost most of the crowd

The kids all had so much fun there was so much to do. We didn't get to go into the Narnia exhibit but I am hoping we can go back and do it because it looks like it's really cool. So another good time at Fantastic Fridays. Thank you Malinda & Lisa.

We had such a nice day at the Grand Canyon it was so beautiful. I have always said I would never take my kids because of the danger but never say never they did great. Joshua didn't like having to hold Daddy's hand all day he thought he was big enough to be on his own but he survived. After a long fun day we headed home and found the Flinstones playland and the kids wanted to go check it out, so for $5 a person we went in and they had a great time. The whole place was set up as Bedrock it was very big and the kids had fun they didn't want to leave.

My dad & stepmom came to visit for 4 days and they left this morning, we had a really nice time with them. The kids were spoiled while they were here with lots of love and attention they were sad to see them go, however Brians mom and dad will be here today around 4pm so the quality grandparent time continues. Thank you Pappy & Grandma Diane for coming we will miss you.
