Fun day out

By Amity -
I wanted to do something fun with the kids today and saw the Virginia Living Museum was having a special reptile exhibit and thought Mac would get a kick out of it. After church we headed to Newport News.

Mac was wired when we got there, he gets himself so vamped up and he was full of energy and ready to go. We got to see all kinds of cool stuff from snakes, lizards to turtles. Mac and I both like the huge turtle seen below. They had all kinds of activities for the kids as well which was pretty cool. In addition to the special exhibits we made our normal rounds of all the fish, which Emily thought was the coolest. She keep waving at the glass saying "HI". Too darn cute.

They also had a "microbes" exhibit which was geared more toward older children. Emily was feeling better today, not nearly as fussy as she has been, although her cheeks still have a rosey glow!
We stopped at Costco on the way home, which is another one of Mac's favorite places since they have a snack to sample on nearly every aisle! I was surprised today he tried a cracker with Brie on it, and liked it!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
