Busy Saturday

We had a great day yesterday.  At Rachel's request, we braved the crowds at the Children's Museum and had a fun morning.  

Good morning Henry

Big boy in the umbrella stroller

We really enjoy the Children's Museum.  We find something new and unexplored every time we go.

Learning how a catapult works

The ball tubes are always fun

Building molecules.  Rachel made carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Watching what happens when you change the size of the drain hole

Water fun

They were supposed to stretch out to touch the circles with lights...they were changing colors so quickly Rachel started dancing like she was in the club.

Face paint!

Henry thinking those kids look crazy in face paint.

She's an artist

Working at the vet in Kidtropolis

After nap time (during which Rachel did not nap), we checked out the Day of Music at Jones Hall downtown.  The performances did not hold the kids' interest too long but it was still fun while it lasted [that is, until it wasn't and we left earlier than planned].  

Houston Brass Band - we enjoyed almost 2 songs before Owen was getting unruly.  Good thing it was free :)

Checking to see if she can hear the brass band through the wall

The next performance was a folk singer in the lobby.  The kids enjoyed dancing.

Snack time

Everyone was having trouble staying still and quiet so we did not risk sitting in any other performances. We did listen to the percussion group outside and another trio in the lobby. Maybe next year we will see more.

After all that, we just relaxed at home until bedtime.

Playing with his toys

Getting better at tummy time

Drumming on his belly

I asked Rachel to make some faces for me.  This is excited.

Scared

Silly

Working hard on a rainbow drawing.

Owen looking stylish before bedtime.
