WEDNESDAY'S FUN DAY!!!!!



First of all, Zachary made it today with puking once. He got up 45 minutes before we had to leave to take Tim to school and took his medicine. He felt fine all the way up and all the way down the mountain.

We came back to the motel and had breakfast and pack for the Children's Museum. We parked at the shuttle parking lot (cost $3 for the day - yesterday's parking lot cost $3 for 1 1/2 hours because we were close to downtown). After parking, we got on the free electric bus and rode down to the museum (we will ride the shuttle every time we go downtown because it is free, fun and much cheaper for parking our car). The only problem with the free shuttle is all the homeless people ride it for free and the reek! But we survived!

So, the museum was GREAT! It was only two floors, but we spent five hours there. The things the kids like best were the Japanese rooms (they got to dress up like Japanese, go to school, eat, write, etc. just like the Japanese students would do). The next fun thing was the rooftop gadgets. The best was a chair (looks like a swing) and you pull a rope in front of you to raise yourselves up (using pulleys - good education for the kids). All the activities on the roof were how to use pulleys. Then there was the GIANT checkers game. Each game piece was big enough to move with your feet. We played for a few minutes and got bored with the game. Zachary was able to do the hula-hoop in another area and surprised all the little ones that couldn't even get the thing started.

I hope I can get some pictures to upload on this blog. If not, I will load them separately. So, you might have to read two entries. So, here goes. The first picture is of Zachary & Elyse serving each other in a Japanese school. The second one is Zachary in the pulley swing.

That first paragraph should say that Zachary DID NOT puke once today. I guess I need typing lessons.

Don't worry...once the homeless people see Zach blowing chunks on the bus, they won't WANT to sit by you!

When you upload the pictures, I think what you want to do is choose "None" for layout. That way the text won't wrap around them and you can put a caption underneath them.

Another thing you can do is click on the picture and cut and paste it into the place you want it to be in the paragraphs.

You can also edit your posts once you have published them so that nobody knows you can't type!

The end.
