Hot Date

Happy Valentine's Day! We had a very busy day. Alan had class in Grand Rapids yesterday. So, rather than staying home, Thomas and I tagged along. While he was busy with class, Thomas and I had a hot date. We started at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. Which is really cool! We had a lot of fun. I totally recommend it. There was a ton to do and it is really interactive. Below are a bunch of pictures from our day.

The magnet table really caught his interest. I'm sure it helped that it was filled with bolts, nuts, and rods. He loves his tools! I had to explain to him that he couldn't put them in his pocket and take them home. He thought we could use them downstairs.

Making bubbles in the bubble table. Surprisingly, Thomas did not make a mess. I can see how this could go wrong.

Happy with his accomplishment!

Mommy's hot date.

Making a rainbow.

Shopping. Thomas filled his cart with all of his fav produce and then went to the checkout where another little boy rang him up and bagged his groceries. So fun!

So, there aren't any other kids in any of these photos. There were a lot of people at the museum, but since there are so many "attractions" and they are all set up for multiple users the kids aren't on top of each other all the time. Added bonus! They really understand small kids there and we never had to wait to do an activity for more than a minute.

After the museum, Thomas and I went to lunch at Panera. He loves Panera! Daddy was ready to be picked up after we ate so we went and got him. Alan wanted to do a little shopping so off we went. While Alan was in Gander Mountain, Thomas and I went to Pet Smart. Pet Smart on a Saturday is like a free zoo. You should check it out. He got to see (and love on) lots of dogs and cats, pet an iguana, watch the dogs get their hair cut, watch the fish, and laugh at the way-too-hyper guinea pigs. Whew! We headed home and Thomas did not take a nap at all. He did alright, especially considering that we also went out to dinner. What a busy (and fun) day!
