Never Grow Up!

At the end of October, Keziah had a few days off from school due to our teachers having a 2 day convention. We took advantage of that and took the kids to Rochester, New York, where they have an amazing Children's Museum. We went two years ago, but they got more enjoyment out of it now that they are two years older.

Although it wasn't an overly long drive, we knew staying in a hotel would be such a highlight for the kids. Sure enough, they loved it! In fact, Nathan and I didn't even have our shoes off before each bed was claimed by a kid. They seriously thought they each would get their very own bed. Ha!!!

 

The next morning, once we were done running after our pillows which were blown out of our car and down the parking lot, thanks to some gusty winds, we got to the Museum.

And so the fun began. I believe every single button was pushed by this boy. Finally, FINALLY he was allowed to push buttons without getting yelled at!

 

 

Keziah has an amazing imagination and is so creative, so this place was just up her alley as well.

 

 

 

 

Some other highlights were the kid-sized grocery store, where the kids could buy 5 things and ring them through.

 

 

 

 

 

Being apart of a Sesame Street show! (just kidding.....)

 

 

 

Service with a smile.....and a bit of "who needs tongs when hands work just as well?!"

 

 

 

So much to do. So much to see. So much to craft. Keziah could have stayed a few more hours, but after 4 hours, Lincoln was done.

 

 

We ended with Keziah going on the Carousel. Lincoln would have nothing to do with it. Rides are not his thing.

 

 

It was so fun to spend time together, adventuring and exploring. The kids had a great time, as did mom and dad. We all slept very well that night and then drove home the next day. We are thankful and humbled by the very fact that we get to go to these kinds of places with our own children.
