Happy ValenTIMES Day!














































Today John and I wanted to make the day special for our sweet boy. After all, he is our little valentine. To celebrate the day as a family, we decided to build a fort in the living room and have an indoor picnic. Mommy and Braylon cut heart shaped cheese slices for a fun appetizer/snack, while Daddy ran out and bought us a nice heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphys. We also had some delicious strawberries so that our meal would at least have some semblance of health to it. :) We had lots of fun! Enjoy the pictures, and Happy Valentines Day!

The Wildlife Experience

This summer we took Braylon to the Wildlife Experience with his Grandma Lois. She didn't want to get in front of the camera so we don't have her in any of the pics, but Braylon had a really great day there with her. We initially thought it was a safari-like zoo, but in actuality it is a museum. So there weren't any real animals (accept in the aquarium)which was a little dissapointing at first, but the museum is very cool. It has all kinds of stuff for learning about different animals of the world and we will definitely take Braylon back when he is older. The animals that are there are very life-like. Since they are stuffed, Braylon was able to see them very close up which was pretty neat; he got a kick out of it.

Below are some highlights of the day. Braylon especially loved playing in the fake grass, trying on the scuba diving flippers, playing on the boat, crossing the bridge, and drinking from the water fountain. But I think his absolute favorite, was chasing the fishies in the aquarium area. There was this camera in the ceiling, aimed at the floor, that had a motion sensor in it. Fish would swim out into the middle of the area and if they saw little feet coming toward them they would swim away. It was really cool; Braylon had a blast chasing them - check it out in the video.

The Children's Museum

I took the day off on Monday August 3rd so that I could go to the Children's Museum with Braylon. His babysitter takes the kids on a field trip every Monday and I really wanted to be a part of this one. I would love to be able to go with him on every little adventure he has, but I was thankful I got to be there for this one.

The Children's Museum has all kinds of fun stuff for the kids. Braylon really enjoyed himself and I had one of the best days ever watching him interact with his playmates.
