Sister!!!

We were very excited last week to have the boys' stepister Kalyn in town!  I am sure she is back home trying to rest from being worn out. The boys simply would not leave her alone!  They did not understand why she was not up at the crack of dawn like they were, so they really enjoyed laying outside her door waiting for her (not so patiently, might I add)! As always, she was wonderful with them, playing all of their games, playing along as they "cooked" for her, "sold" stuff from their store and watched countless episodes of Tom and Jerry. We took several day trips to museums, and the swimming pool and had a lot of ice cream and cupcakes.  The boys were in heaven! We already miss her, and we are looking forward to her next visit!

Father and daughter!  She is as tall as he is!

Lyndon laughed at me because she had to bend down to take this pic!  She is tall and beautiful!

This was the fun room for little ones! Of course, we big people had fun too!

The next room was the strange and unique!  I loved the sea horses...

...the giant cockroaches were not a favorite!

They also have an entire area devoted to fun experimental stuff for kids!  Logan and Luke both loved this air ball thing!

Kalyn and Lyndon both loved the bed of nails!

The boys demonstrating their superior upper body strength!

...me demonstrating how to be dragged across the floor!

They had a cool room that was just for designing and building your own creations!  This is what the boys started with...

...this is the finished product!

Ok, so not really, but it would have been cool!

Another day, we visited Ben and Jerry's ice cream shop and fed the ducks that live in the small pond behind the shop!  This particular day, they were rather aggressive!

Luke was having a blast chasing them!

They tolerated Luke, until we ran out of food!
