Summer Museum Fun

Rebekah

We enjoy going to some of the local museums.  Mommy has a pass so we can go whenever we want, and forever long we want.  Here are some of our highlights from the museums.

Check out this life size lite brite!

Below is a fun plate/fan experiment.

 Here I am putting together some tracks for the little cars.

Then we picked up some groceries!

This picture and video below is from a different museum.  I still don't understand the science behind that thing in the video but it was super cool.

 

My First Ice Skating Experience

Rebekah:

Today was the very first time I have put on ice skates and gone skating.  I have seen it on tv before, but it was a long time ago.  I thought it had to be cold outside for there to be ice, but alas, I was wrong.  In fact, I wasn't cold at all at the rink.  Mom says the mall rinks are much warmer and I'm thankful for that.

When I sat on the bench with my skates on, my feet felt so heavy.  I refused to even stand up!

When we got on the ice, I had a death grip on Mommy's hand.  I kept slipping, but Mommy worked so hard to keep me from falling and having a "melt down", so to speak.

 

This picture below was a rare moment that Mommy let go and I held on to the wall for dear life.  Don't worry, I didn't move an inch.

During Zamboni time, Mommy did a little interview with me.  I wasn't feeling very "interview-like" so my answers are silly, but check out that grin on my face the whole time.  That just shows you how much FUN I had.  It was truly a blast.

Mommy made a new friend so we could get some video together.  This time I let go of the wall and let Mommy do all the work.  It was scary, but still so much fun.

I can't wait to go skating again soon!

Dollar Days at the Dallas Arboretum

Did you know that you can pay $2/person for the Arboretum during the month of August?  Mommy took me on a beautiful, cool, lovely August day and we had such a blast.  Hannah stayed at home for some Daddy time while we enjoyed a fabulous day together.  Their new children's section is out-of-this-world!

Mommy took a lot of pictures and a few videos to capture our time together.

These next two pictures go together.  This hose had a lot of wind coming out of it and I thought it was so much fun to put it in my face and then when I let go it would spring away.

Here is a video of that demonstration:

This pendulum sand thingy below was one of my favorite things in the whole arboretum.

 

 

 

What a great time we had together - just Mommy and me.  I hope we get to go again some time when it's only $2!!  Did I mention $1 hot dogs??  Enough said.
