Clark County Heritage Museum

This past Saturday I took the kids back to the Clark County Heritage Museum. The last time we visited was 2 years and 4 months ago! Sade had no memory of the visit, but the other two did and complained about how "creepy" it was and said they didn't want to go back. Personally I think it is super cool, and since I am the mom, and hence the decision maker, we went anyway.

Eric was out of town for the day, but our Baird friends joined us. They have never been, and this was Amy's reaction upon seeing the admittedly "creepy" mannequins they have posed in the houses:



I think these 2 are the creepiest:

This guy just looks beaten down by life:

 

We pushed past his sadness and had a great time. Even the kids! As evidenced by the amount of giggling and running from exhibit to exhibit that they did.

Playing some sort of Native American game:



Success:




After a bit of prodding I was able to get Sade to model this rabbit stole:



After the Bairds left, I took the kids out to take a few more pictures. When we came over 2 years ago, I had Jackson and Sadie pose in front of this car and directed them to act cool. These were the results:



I gave them the same direction on this trip and they gave me this:




Can you guess from these next pics which child of mine LOVES to be the center of attention?



The weather, the lighting, the time of day, everything was gorgeous so we took some more pictures.



They didn't even know I was doing bunny ears!



Almost (since Eric wasn't there) perfect day.

Goodbye Wet - n - Wild

We spent our very last day (of this season) at Wet - n - Wild last, last Saturday.

The great thing was that it wasn't very busy, so we were able to ride our favorite rides multiple times (even the constrictor!) with a minimal wait.

Pics of the day:



All season long we made Sade ride all the rides she was tall enough for (multiple times) but one thing we didn't ever make her do was stand under the soaking bucket. The anticipation of it is the worst!





Wet - n - Wild is always more fun with friends, and happily our Graham friends were able to join us for the visit:



I don't like to admit it, BUT I think my kids were a bit burned out on Wet - n - Wild, as evidenced by the following pictures.

Could it look like they were having a more terrible time?




Relaxation:




Sade doing a little tunnel walking. The mini wet footprints she made were too cute.





I mourn the closing.

G to the EO

After taking a break during the summer months (it's just too hot to be outside) we have resumed our geocaching adventures. Let's just say the kids are not thrilled, but Eric and I force them to do it.

This particular trip was especially exciting because we were THE FIRST TO FIND a geocache, which is a BIG DEAL in the geocaching world.





It was right behind the Rebel station on Craig Road.

We continued on, and found a few more:





Did you know there is this HUGE green, green, green, grass area right behind Big Lots?

I didn't either.



 


A little after cartwheel jubilation:



Our geocache total now stands at 114!
