Detroit Science Center

I know this is late, but I need to get November and December done so I can order a book of my blog of last year (for journal purposes) so I have to go in order, starting in Novemeber!!

November was full of amazing excitement!! Ok, maybe not, but there were some great memories to take note of, this is the first one. We became members to the Detroit Science Center which has turned out to be a lot of fun. There is an entire little area for kids under 4. They have different rooms one full of balls, another that is a full little kid kitchen with pans and food, menus, and a register full of money! There is also an art room with aprons they can put on to protect there clothes and an assortment of art material (crayons, glue, paper plates, markers, etc.). Anoter room has different cars for the kids to get in a ride around on and next to it is a room with a stage and a TV on the wall above with a variety of dress up clothes along the side of the stage, there is a room set up like a veterinary office with cages with a few stuffed animals and some play Dr. stuff and a little outfit, and next to that is a room with computers for the kids and a wall of books and one of those fabric boards that felt figures stick to, and the final room is a room with apple trees painted on the walls with magnetic apples to pick and put in buckets along with the room filled with soft things to climb all over. And finally in the center of it all is a fountain with 3 circular shapes connected that is filled with water (of course) and they have little gowns for the kids to put on so they can play with the little toys in the fountain and not get wet. My boys have a lot of fun, especially because it is a new environment other than home!! Here are a few pictures of our trips there so far.

After one of our trips to the Science Center we went out to a Buffet. My favorite place to go know that we have kids...they can be as picky as they want and I am sure to find something they'll eat, with out the mess and hassle to clean up!

The boys had their first ice cream cones, as you can tell they are naturals with holding their cones.....

You can tell Travis filled up a little to much at the Buffet, I think his pants are fully loaded here, maybe this will be his last time here?!? =)
