This afternoon we took the kids to the Treehouse Museum. We needed an outing since we've been cooped up most of the week. Plus, it's nice to go when Marcos can come too so I don't go quite as crazy trying to keep track of two kids who rarely play with the same things. Dylan can play at a station for quite a long time, while Preston is constantly on the move. Guess who Marcos chose. Yeah, the one who holds still. I followed my little man around trying to get some pictures of him in motion while Marcos played knight castle, dinosaurs and animals with Dylan. We hadn't thought lunch through at all and it was getting late so we were trying to figure out a plan to feed the starving children. Dylan's been talking about Olive Garden for like 3 months so we ended up taking the kids there for lunch - a total splurge for us, but whatever. It was fun, the waiter was awesome, food was delicious and the kids were very well behaved. So all in all, worth the money and a great day out for our little family! Here are a few of the moments I managed to capture.
My baby looking way too much like a big boy
One of the few activities they stayed at together today
Playing on the bridge
In the tea party room
I love his "cheese" smile
Silly boys
I took this picture next to the Argentina folk tale for my Argentine guys
Poor Preston was so ready for a nap by this point
Preston's favorite activity
Spinning around and around in mid-air
My monkeys
Dylan entertaining his new friends
They were sailing the sea and landed in Africa to go on a safari
Preston loving his Papi
It's a bit blurry since I wasn't expecting it, but this picture speaks volumes
I love his little hand on Marcos' face - he is such a loving child.
My little accountant
Honestly, he could've played at this cash register ALL day!
Counting and organizing, taking out and reorganizing...he may
have gotten that part from me : )
Dinosaurs! What else is new?
I followed Preston into the little school. He sat down at a desk while a little girl was the teacher and wrote on his chalkboard. Later he decided to be the teacher. As far as I know, most teachers don't sit on their desks and eat chalk though. He may need a little more training.
Playing chess (or pretending to maybe)
I love this picture of Dylan
Preston sat there like he was a part of the giant chess set. So cute!
The music room is another favorite and easy to watch him - these educational moments for kids can be exhausting for the parents who have to keep track of them!
Dylan was excited to see the US flag so we talked about the statue of liberty with him and then he asked me to take his picture . Quite patriotic if you ask me!

Looks fun! Where is this at?
Ogden - it's right across from the temple. They have toddler time twice a week when it's pretty cheap. It's only $2 and the adults are free. I think the toddler time is Monday 10-12 and Wednesday 1-3. Other times it's $5 and you have to pay for adults too, which I think is lame. We ended up just getting a year pass so we go whenever, but you should check it out during their sponsored toddler time. Oh, and you only pay for kids once they are walking so obviously the Jackson would be free.
