Every day life

Cambry and I went to the Museum of Natural History and Science and had a jolly good time. We found the "mountains" exhibit which I'm glad it was done lamely, because I'm really craving a hike in the mountains and this would've made it worse.
I love that this display of a turtle is at the level of a toddler and says "DO NOT TAP ON THE GLASS." Right...

Cambry went wild in the kids zone with so many kids to follow around. Oh, the toys were nice too.


Cambry is 2 1/2 snakes tall.

Giving the animals a little love.
She was quite fond of this Brontosaurus's leg and kept coming back to it to give it a little pat.
She was a good patrolman of the globe and marched around it several times.
It's funny that the 2 things she was the most pleased with weren't part of the museum displays. #1 The escalators. We rode up and down them 3 times each before mean mom made her move on (I can't get enough of those cute curls!).
#2 tapping people on the legs and getting into people's space (especially kids). We love coming to this museum.

We found the most brilliant place to play. It's this place called Playnation that sells these backyard play houses and swing sets. In their warehouse they've set about a dozen up and have a bounce house and a bounce slide and you can come in and play on them. Since all the slides at the parks are too hot by 11 am, this place is pretty happening! Cambry might be too young for this joint. She wouldn't touch the bounce houses, She cried down a slide, and she was so upset when I took her in this little kitchen to hang out in.

I tried to put her on this swing, but she slid to the middle and was in a little circular prison that she didn't care for.
Finally! She was as happy as can be in the swing. I'm bummed that somehow the video got erased of her, just dancing her heart to the music out in the open area in the middle of all the playgrounds.

Another generation of tub marchers is born! When I was little, my mom would tell us "Go march in the tub!" whenever our feet were black (I guess it got better results than "go wash your black feet, you disgusting human being!"). Cambry LOVES puddle jumping so, in she went into the tub with her muddy shoes.
Devin got her dressed one day and was confused at why we had a mermaid costume for her... both her legs were in the same pant hole. She doesn't stand a chance with us for parents!

And last of all... Devin got reading glasses. I picked out the frames since he said I'll be the one looking at him. I love them on him.
