Home Depot Workshop by Ian

 


The first Saturday of each month Home Depot hosts a workshop for kids to build something in their stores. Ian has done one other project and so Bill decided to take him today. I couldn't go so I armed Ian with my snappy camera hoping to get a glimpse of what he saw. I got 93 snapshots of all sorts of interesting things, so I thought I would share a select few with you. Ian was incredibly proud of his project, got a new pin for his orange apron and hopes that he can go again next month!

Lions Club Aquatic Center

 

 

My friend Kelly had an unfortunate experience on Wednesday. It seems that the Killeen Lions Club Aquatic Center does a really crappy job of make sure their website and hours are correct so she showed up with her 4 year old son on Wednesday to swim only to find out that it was closed. There were KISD kids in there on a field day, but no members of the public were allowed in. Because their website led everyone to believe that they were open after Memorial Day, my friend went home pretty upset and decided to call. Well, she was told that they were sorry, but there was nothing they could do. She asked for a manager who was unavailable. Well later that afternoon, the manager called her and told her that a private party had cancelled for Friday afternoon and that it could be had by us if we were willing to pay the price. Well, the price was right and we got the waterpark all to ourselves from 1 to 3pm yesterday afternoon. Can you say AWESOME? Because it was!

Mayborn Museum Lego Castle Experience

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

Today we went back to one of our favorite places, the Mayborn Museum in Waco! They are showing the Lego Castle exhibit that originated at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. It's pretty cool and the kids in our group really enjoyed it. They have Legos to build with and all sorts of games and dress up and it's a pretty neat deal if you are 4 years old! Of course, I became the "mother of the year" because my Aaron decided to take off when I turned my back on him for 2 seconds. Yes, he left the exhibit and I finally found him in the gift shop. YIKES!

Memorial Day Recap

 
 
 
 
Yesterday we spent most of the day nursing our allergy symptoms until it was time to head to the park for a picnic/cookout with friends. The kids all brought their bikes/trikes and we enjoyed watching them take off! Ian had never really ridden his bicycle so it was a first for him. He had a few frustrating moments and we had to encourage him to push through them. He prevailed though he wasn't as fast as the other children. Aaron hasn't quite figured out the tricycle, but he enjoyed sitting on it and pushing himself along.
