Friday at the Museum

Aidan had a day off school today. (I swear the number of school holidays is unbelievable.) The day off inspired us to head out for a little friday field trip. With two cousins in tow, (leaving me in a car with five (5!) children - from ages 13 to 1!), we set off for Explore and More for a little fun.

Aidan and Brennan loved the construction section and spent most of the morning "building a house."




Griffin's personal favorite was the international culture section of the museum, specifically the tribute to Mexican music. He busted many a move as he shook a few maracas.

My personal highlight of the morning was my obnoxiously hysterical laughter when a mother asked me if all five children were mine. I managed to stop laughing long enough to reply, "I am just not that strong of a person." She laughed and said, "You did look pretty calm for being a mother to five." Yeah, if she only knew.

After the museum, we enjoyed a gourmet lunch at the culinary bistro known as Burger King. (It was Aidan's choice.) Does ketchup count as a vegetable? If so, Griffin had a full day's worth of veggies after he sucked down three plastic cups of ketchup. (The smell of ketchup is still stinging my nostrils. Whew!)
