Children's Museum and Fountains

Last week I braved the children's museum and fountains by myself with three kids. We were there for almost 4 hours. I can't believe we all survived with very few melt-downs. We played at the museum for almost 2 hours and then went back to the car to change into swim suits and get our picnic. You should've seen me in the parking garage. I got out the stroller and locked up my escape artist. I changed Anthony, slathered him with sunscreen and put him on the backseat of the stroller with his sandwich. Onto Dylan. Clothes off, swimsuit on, sunscreen on, sit in the trunk with your sandwich. Then I unstrapped Preston and got him ready. The two older kids were finished with their sandwiches before we even started walking towards the fountains. I loaded up the back part of the stroller with the cooler and towels and we were off to the fountain to cool down and finish our lunch. The kids had a blast and took a nice nap on the drive home. :) Some days I can be super mom, other days I'm completely lazy. I should shoot for a little more balance every day. Oh well.

Preston playing in water - need I say more?

He could play with these little balls in the water forever

Cashier Dylan

Making some pretty good music - NOT! :)

Water or balls and Preston is pretty content


Dylan loves sitting and waiting for the steam to come on

Eating their lunch while they dried off after a good run through the fountains

Anthony LOVED the fountains!
He's come a long way - he used to be terrified of water.
