Yesterday we went to the Nature and Science museum with some other kids in the Mom’s group.  We spent most of the time in the Discovery room for kids.  First we made a butterfly.  You color the coffee filter and the helper sprayed them with water.  Then she wrapped a pipe cleaner around the middle for the body.

We also colored snakes and listened to stories.  Autumn was checking her senses.  She smelled the container than tried to find the picture that matched the smell.

But the best part was the gigantic fan and the cloths.  We were supposed to see which one flew the highest, but it was more fun to watch the fly up and float down.  Sometimes they landed on out heads!

It was a really fun day.  I hope we go back soon.

We went to The Children’s Discovery Museum when we were in California.  There were lots of fun things to do, play with, and learn about.

First stop was the fire truck.

Then we went to the ambulance.  I was the patient and kids were the drivers.

After we had our Christmas in Colorado we flew to California for New Years.  While we were there we got to have ANOTHER Christmas.

Pony bought us all megaphones.  Did you know that you don’t have to talk louder into them to make your voice loud?

I had been practicing my restaurant manners and eating my food like a big girl so that I could go to special dinner with Pony and Allie.  This was my special dress to wear at our New Years Eve dinner.  It was Allie’s dress from when she was a little girl.  I even got to wear some of Allie’s special make-up!
