AJ's Field Trip

For AJ's school field trip, we went to the Providence Children's Museum!! The way his school does it is that the parents meet at the museum and siblings get to come. So Julia got to be a big girl-she thought she was pretty hot stuff!! Here are some Picutres--what a cute place!!!

Here they are in the ship room. It shows a ship that settlers would have come to Rhode Island in the late 1800's. AJ was a big fan of steering the ship on the upper deck and sleeping in the top bunk down in the lower deck. Julia, of course wanted to go up and down the ladder and stairs with AJ but I demanded she had minimal assistance(since she tryies to just walk off the ledge!). She thought she was pretty funny when she "went sleepin'" with AJ on the botttom bunk.

Here they are in the favorite room of all!!! This is the water room. They have 2 huge water tables and one smaller one. One had levers that they could make the water pop up in the air and the other had a door and upper and lower area so they could make water falls. AJ played at this table with this other little girl for an hour until I had to drag him away!!
Julia really enjoyed the smaller table where she would put a ball in the top slide and it would roll from one little slide to another down to the bottom. She is starting to say some words and here she is saying "ball"!
Here is AJ in "the dog house" (Hopefully this does not tell his future :) He has been really into pets and animals lately so he loved this one! Julia thought she would climb the ladder up to the cage thing-luckily, for my benifit, she could not figure out how to go more than one rung up!! What a crazy climbin kid!

And here is where we discovered what AJ would look like as a midgit!! :)
We all had a GREAT TIME!!!

Wow! I want to go there! AJ looks so funny in the mirror picture. I like to pretend to be a midget by putting my shoes on my knees and walking on my knees. haha it's funny. (Anaka likes to do it too).
