Cooper's Day

Reagan had to go to school today to make up for the snow, but Cooper's school was out and I had the day off work, so we decided to spend the morning at the Science Center.

We got there before it opened, so we waited in the car and listened to music!

getting a closer look

observing the sharks

He was yelling at them to wake up!

He had a fun time!

Watching the stingray

Showing me the turtles

Such a cute boy!

Look at that one!

Then, we moved on to electricity exhibits

but he liked the fish better

hmmm, I bet I could catch that shark if I tried really hard!

the stingray splashed Cooper

He kept flapping wanting Cooper to pet him more exhibits

We found a bear

And then we found the play area

Cooper put on a puppet show in the tree house

Roar!

We had a great time, but we sure did miss Reagan being there with us!

A New Camp

Reagan's gymnastics camp is closed for the next 2 weeks, so she'll will be attending science camp. This week they're learning all about BUGS! She was a little timid at first, but by the end of the camp (this one is only a 1/2 day camp), she was having a great time and didn't want to leave!

a picture before camp!

Her camp ended at noon, so she and I had a mommy & me date a Chick-fil-a

Super Size Saturday

We had a busy day today ~ gymnastics for Reagan, Cooper attended a birthday party for one of his classmates, and then the family attended a pool birthday party for 2 of the kids in our BAM group. Here are some pictures of the day!!

Cooper's friend, Caitlyn, had her birthday party at the Science Center. Everyone had a great time. While Cooper and I attended the party, Reagan and Greg went through the different exhibits (no pictures of that ~ there's only one camera in the family!)

ta-da! Cooper and Chloe

the birthday girl!

During the party, the Science Center staff brought in animals and told the kids all about them and then let them pet each of them.

Cooper did pet the snake (so did I!)

cake time

Mom and Cooper at the party

Does it get any cuter than this?

Greg and Reagan came to pick us up...and Reagan petted a blue-tongued skink

Next, we went to Taylor and Jacob's birthday party. Taylor turned 8 and Jacob turned 7 this week. They are sister and brother born 361 days apart!

I couldn't find Reagan a pink frog to swim with, but I did find Cooper a blue shark!

Baby Kara came to her first BAM party

Again, the men played a game of pole Frisbee ~ I don't understand it, but they seemed to have a great time playing!

There were two Cooper S's at the party

Enjoying the cookout

The birthday boy Jacob (with goggles) and his sister Taylor

Reagan only wanted ice cream ~ no cake

Cooper had 2 bowls of ice cream

He licked his bowl clean!

It was a busy but fun day for all. I'm sure the kids will sleep like rocks tonight!
