A Playdate with Aunt KK

I had been wanting to take the boys to the Edwardsville Children's Museum because it was revamped.  Nolan has been a couple of times, but Carter has never visited the Children's Museum.  Kelby came down last Friday to visit, and I decided it would be the perfect time to go.

We first arrived at the museum and it was full of kids due to a field trip.  I decided we should grab something to eat for lunch and then come back once the field trip had left.  Bread Co. it was!!  The boys devoured their meals and had a M&M cookie for dessert.

After lunch we loaded back up into the car and headed to the museum.  The boys went straight to the police/fire station exhibit.  Before I knew it, I looked up and Carter was coming down the stairs in fireman boots.  He had taken off his shoes and replaced them with boots.  Carter was ready for action!  A few minutes later, Nolan comes down with his notepad and fireman coat on.

The boys had lots of fun pretending to work at DQ, Bella Milano's, and the grocery store!!  There was a dental exhibit but neither of the boys were interested.  Carter was a very good waiter and Nolan did a good job collecting money for the tab.

Blake was all smiles the entire time we played.  Towards the end of our visit Blakey was starting to become hungry, so I took him out of his seat.  It was time for Blake to play too.  He thought the bubble mirror was silly!

Aunt KK was trying to give the boys a lesson on how to hula hoop, which turned into a basketball lesson.  Kelby volunteered herself as the backboard, luckily no one was hurt. :)

Thanks for coming down and hanging out with us KK!  The boys had a blast and I enjoyed having help. Love you!
