Saturday Fun

On Saturday Damon was feeling better and ready to get out of the house for awhile. (He came home at lunch time on Friday and slept all afternoon due to a bad cold he's had.) He suggested we head over to the Iowa Children's Museum at the mall since Rockwell Collins was sponsoring a free admission day. Everyone else evidently had the same idea! Despite the crowds, everyone had fun. Sam liked the Pizza Parlor:

Care for a slice?

Will likes anything to do with building stuff:

What you can't see in the video is when Will steps back and puts his hands together in 'prayer' that his ball will make it to the very bottom. He was not ready to move on until he had tweaked his ramps and gotten one successful run completed.

Max did a lot of hanging around, watching kids run past:

No one would go in the art studio with me. Maybe Max will someday.

There were some tables set up with engineers doing different experiments and building projects. Since we ran out of time to do the gumdrop/toothpick buildings, we decided to do our own version at home with Dots:You don't think they have an aptitude for . . . engineering do you?!

After each making their own buildings, they decided to connect them together . . . by one very important blue toothpick.

Then they decided to call it good and eat them. I'm still finding toothpicks laying around.
