More Catch Up

Here is the rest of my catching up from this month. We have had a lot of fun. A few weeks ago we went to the Treehouse museum in Ogden. It is right across the street from the Ogden Temple and it was so much fun. The whole place is interactive for kids. They can drive fire trucks, see fish, climb in a giant tree and drop parachutes onto a target below. There are several houses decorated with fun things to do from countries around the world (Mexico, England, Japan, Kenya, China, Argentina), a life size tee pee with a drum to play, a cow to milk, horses to ride, a musical instrument room, a room with a new art project each day, and so much more. It was pretty reasonably priced too. Ethan had a blast!

This was in the Japan House. You could also play chopstick games.
Safari in the Kenya House
When you milk the cow, water really comes out. It was pretty realistic!
Yee Haw!
I think we will definitely visit the Treehouse again. It was great.

This is just a dress we really liked on Maddie. It came from Grandma Mendes.

A friend of mine gave me this idea--she actually brought the cookie dough for us. You use food coloring to make cookie dough bright colors, then kids can use it like play-dough and really bake cookies with the things they make. Granted, if kids are squishing and playing with it, you might not use these cookies to take to your next-door neighbors, but it is so much fun and they can eat the finished product. Here are a few things we made.



These pictures were taken just a couple days ago. Madeline is now 4 months old. It's hard to believe how fast time goes!
