Just as much fun, not as many pictures.
We met up with dear friends at the Tacoma Children's Museum.
They had an painting area where they had these cheap plastic salad spinners. They put a paper plate at the bottom, upside down and you could drizzle paint on it. They you put the lid on and spin it and you make really cool art. I forgot to take a picture, but I'm thinking of getting a salad spinner at a thrift store and doing this.
We then dined on hamburgers and fries and they climbed and slid for a good long while. Then they napped peacefully in the car. The next thing on the agenda was to build an awesome racetrack and play for over an hour.
Then, after dinner, we had an awesome game of "spies". They rode bikes, talked into "walkie talkies", went on missions, etc.
Here's Hank, getting the evil basketball hoop pole. Take that!
If you ever need a good giggle, play spies with 4 year olds. They copied my lame verbage like it was the real thing. I also heard some serious intel such as..."they took our defense--check, check, double check, over and out." hahahahaha I sent them on "missions" to run around the little park several times because...I had promised them that if they had good bedtimes for the last two nights (in separate rooms) then tonight, they could sleep in the same room. I wanted them really tired. ; ) Last night they went to bed with no silliness since they were so tired and both nights they slept through the night. We'll see what happens tonight when they can giggle all night.
9:23 pm They are both still in bed (good listeners) and are telling each other stories. I heard talk of poop, toilet and stinky bum.
So thats what the other side of the childrens museum looks like. Sorry we missed when we came. So fun Spies in the park!
