CURIOUS KIDS!!!!!

Naomi and her seven children joined us at Curious Kids Museum in St. Joseph, Michigan. That made 11 of us all together. Naomi had 11 free coupons (earned by her children reading books). She also had 9 book-it awards, so we had free pizza as well.

Here is Elyse driving an ambulance (by her face, I would be afraid to get into the back of the ambulance).

Lillian tried her hand (or should I say foot) at the piano.

Elyse tried to make electricity by riding the bike.

Zachary tried to make electricity too - he made a little more than Elyse.

Charles made it to the top of the chart - he made the most electricity.

Ethan loved picking up items with the backhoe.

This is where we left the two older boys for several hours. Instead of doing what they were supposed to do (picking up boulders and dropping them off in the hopper), they attacked each other (boys will be boys).

Naomi and Elizabeth were the "face-painters." Most of the children went to Pizza Hut with several things all over their faces and hands. The lady at Pizza Hut said, "Oh, I see you went to the Children's Museum." We wondered how she knew. Then we remembered the faces of all our children.

Johnathan loved working with the tools.

Elizabeth, Elyse and Rowan had a Japanese tea party. Rowan didn't even get a cup.

Lillian joined in on the tea party - still Rowan doesn't have a cup.

They must have greased this slide, because it sent the children off the end about two feet. They really enjoyed the speed.

Hey, Emily, did we do a good job on the hair style? We tried!

If we couldn't find the older girls - their faces were stuck in books. At least they were quiet.

I think this is Ethan being a cow. The costumes were great and great fun.

Elyse looks scary here with no color on her eyes, but she had a good time sliding down the slide. We were in the toddler section (since there weren't any babies, we took advantage of the room).

This on is for Dad! It was on top of a restaurant. Boy, someone was a terrible driver!

After the museum and Pizza Hut, we drove another 20 minutes north to South Haven just for ice cream that you eat on the roof of the building. What a fun day!
