Patches, Sprinkler and Science Spectrum

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit, but for some reason I never took a picture!!!  

While they were here, they took Jacen to PetSmart where he picked out a toy for Patches :)

They also bought him a sprinkler to play in :)

Jacen and I went to Science Spectrum on 8/1 for the last time before Summer break is over.  I have a week long workshop next week, and then I return to work on the 15th.

Airplane Simulator

He was fascinated with the "trees" in the kid play area today.  He was very focused on how they work and were the ball comes out and how :)

In this pic, one hand is in the "entrance" with the ball and the other is in the "exit" trying to see if he can touch :)

He hadn't ridden this in forever so I had to take a pic :)

Playgroups and Friends

Jacen and Emma playing outside.  They both wanted to play something different, so they sat by each other one playing with the batcave and the other blowing bubbles :)

Jacen playing outside with his cars.  I though it interesting that he wanted to put all of his small cars in his heavy equipment ones :)

After stopping by Chick-fil-a for lunch, we were off the Grace Museum where they have a children's museum inside.  The kids loved it!!!
