Hangout at the house
They had a ton of fun playing in the basement and showing off their tricks and explaining all the game they love. Ira was also super excited about helping Grandpa paint Eliot and his room along with several other chores, I appreciate the examples of caring and service, Ira has really seemed to turned a corner in being more cooperative and helpful since.
Watering the plants (it's too bad it froze later and killed most of them)
Reading the news in the morning
Playing with play dough
General bonding and goodness
Racing on the driveway
basement tricks and toys
Hands on Museum
I took Friday off to accompany everyone to the Hands on Museum in Ann Arbor. After some initial drama getting there, the boys had a lot of fun in the preschool age room (Only kids 3 and under can go in).
Cool fire engine
I think their favorite was the water feature. They might have been able to play all day there.
Eliot figured out how to climb up things. It's his new thing lately.
Greenfield Village
Saturday we went to Greenfield village (part of The Henry Ford Museum) where they were having a "Thomas and Friends" day. Instead of the usual train they have running around the village, they had a train that looked like Thomas. It was a nice cool spring day with the trees in full bloom.
"He was blue, and he had eyes that moved!" - Ira
We were able to get closer, but Ira wasn't in the mood to smile then...so much happening. Next time we will ride the train, this time it didn't work out though.
They had some cool model train sets going too.
After hitting the Thomas highlights, we took the typical stroll through history. It really feels like you are walking through the past.
