Family Fun

We work hard around here. I feel like a huge portion of our limited spare time goes toward our yard and garden. That is the price we pay for a homegrown tomato and a freezer full of produce. Is it worth the price? Don't ask me that right now, ask me come late summer when I'm enjoying that fresh tomato. Anyway...Nick had Monday off because of Memorial Day, and we had already put in a full days work on Saturday, so we actually got out of the house and had some fun! We went to Discovery Gateway (thanks to my brother who gave us tickets for Christmas), and the kids had a great time.

Here's Maren driving a car. Ellie filling up the said car.
Ellie riding a horse (not a real one, silly).

Ellie checking out at the grocery store.

Ellie helping me out at the deli counter.Maren collecting the eggs.

Checking out the life flight helicopter. My girls were both pretty nervous when a button was pushed and helicopter noises started - chickens, remember?

Evidence that our Everett was along for the ride.

They had exhibits for big kids too.

It was really a lot of fun! Thanks, Brian!
