Before we get to the main theme of this entry, I had to post just a couple of pics of our youngest GC enjoying the sprinkler on what turned out to be the last really hot day of the summer. He didn't mind the grass or the water, and even tolerated having water poured on him. The diaper, however, was beyond repair after an hour of this activity! Good bye bare skin and summer sun!
Because the older Grandson's birthday is fast approaching, Grandpa and I decided to ask him to come for a sleepover without his little sister (which meant that she could go out on a "date" with her dad). He quite enjoyed getting HIS room back, even just for a night, and loved the fact that I had found a vintage VHS copy of Peter Pan for his viewing enjoyment. Before the movie and supper, however, we decided to check out the new Children's Museum. I think he would give it two thumbs up!
The water station was a favourite, needing two visits to get maximum enjoyment. It really is quite well done, and the kids get raincoats so they don't get too wet. Note to Grandma - put the child's shoes back on before revisiting this station.
Thank goodness they left the big train in the museum! It comes complete with lights and lots of buttons to push and levers to pull.
The digger - another favourite!
The sound room has a great xylophone, and lots of bird noises if you step in the right places.
This just proves that this boy resembles his uncle from the east in more than one way. Both of them thought it necessary to put their faces in this - what is it called?
Another viewing spot from the train. From this perch, you can see where the train is going.
Back at the water station to make water move in many ways, and also to create smoke.
All in all, it was a fun time. How could you not have fun with pancakes and bacon, a visit to the museum, time to play with Grandpa, homemade macaroni and cheese and meatballs (and no asparagus or broccoli), a favourite movie, popcorn AND chips, a favourite bed, and French toast in the morning after cartoons. Life is good - and we love being able to share it. Happy #4 birthday!

Good times...I have heard a lot about it since, and he was definitely the little tour guide the other day at the museum! Thank you so much for making memories with our kids!
