whobody had a family fun day?

SO.  Things have been super busy around here. (Funny, I usually look forward to winter because it is supposed to be the slow time of year!) I totally, honestly, truthfully, really forgot about my blog!!!  Things have just been very busy around here. BUT now I will hopefully make it a point to take a few minutes out of every day to keep up with it.

These pictures are actually from over a month ago.  We took a little family field trip to the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque.  We saw that Curious George was going to be there, so we surprised the kids with a little road trip.







Lola and Nash both got their faces painted. This was something that we had to PREP Lola for...because she tends to really be heart broken whenever we have to wash anything like this off of her face! After lots of promises not to flip out when it was time to take it off....we stood in line to get their faces painted. :) They were both extremely proud when it was all done!!!

The artist said that she was making Nash a 
"River prince"


and Lola...an 
"Ice Princess"







Then it was finally time for Dan Wardell's story time. The kids were able to score a seat right up front! (you can just see half of Lola in front of the Harley coat...and Keaton and Nash to her right).  I just realized that I have no pictures of Cruz on this day... he was there...but he pretty much just stayed in his stroller :).  The kids loved the story that Dan Wardell read...and felt like they are next to a movie star!

Then the real movie star came out... 
Curious George.


We then headed to the other building and enjoyed the rest of the fun stuff! The kids' favorite 2 things are the huge fish tank.....


 ...and of course, the water play area!



(I swear that I didn't let Nash steal his barge...in fact, it was Nash's barge that was being stolen.


We really had a great time! 

I'd love to write more...but I better just keep at it and get more pictures out here!
