Phoenix Children's Museum

Brace yourselves - this post has lots of pictures (although I am kicking myself that I did not bring my good camera with me - thought it would be too much of a hassle - wrong! It is worth any hassle, especially when you come home and see crappy pictures - oh well, the kids had an amazing time and that is what is important)! The Phoenix Children's Museum is one cool place for little kids - even as young as Lola! My girlfriends Kristen (kids are Carmen and Gianni) and Holly (daughter is Sydney) bring their children here often and this is the first time that we were able to join in on the fun with them! We invited Susie and Jayla to go with us! We had a blast today - and I am so worn out I just might have to join my kids in nap time today instead of the usual cleaning, blogging, and working out! I can only dream that will happen!

Gianni and Kyan playing on what ended up being Kyan's favorite toy there!

Sydney and Kyan - both of these guys go to the same daycare and will be attending the same Pre School next year!

Lola eventually warmed up to this giant tent with tunnels and peek-a-boo holes!


Jayla playing peek-a-boo with Lola!

Again, Kyan and his favorite contraption there!

Kyan and Gianni on the drums!

Kyan made me a strawberry ice cream cone!

Making pizza above and stir fry below!

Lola wanted help with this one from her Auntie Susie and begged her to keep putting the little piece on the track!

Kyan behind the flower box! He picked flowers and hand delivered them after that. Only to take them back and replant them in the window box!

A quick pose with the kiddos!

Kyan even got to paint a playhouse!

Silly Lola!

My artist at work!

The kids creations!

Thank you so much fun inviting us. It was so much fun and perfect for any kids walking. Jayla crashed as soon as we got in the car and then wide awake when we got home. I didn't get a nap in like I was hoping.

Even though you forgot your camera you got some really good pictures (I stole a few). Lola and Kyan are such cuties. Jay always has fun with them.
It's officially official that my camera sucks!! Maybe I should accidentally throw it in my pool. HA!

I could recognize your handwriting a MILE away! (cheater) : )
You really did get some great pics, despite the missing Nikon. Hate when I do that too- just because I try to save some space/time....and I regret it every single time I do it! Once you go Nikon....well you know the rest.
I absolutely LOVE that little picture of Lola looking up at the camera, in that cute ensemble (shoes & all!)
Glad the kiddos had so much fun- that place is great, and you can even get season tickets! (You may need to invest.)

A6 was very crazy
I sent that picture of me and you to your schools email address.
Unless you want me to send it to a different one.
Let me know.
