Auntie Date

Last Week Rach and I surprisingly found ourselves with some extra time to play! Her volunteer shifts at the hospital hadn't started yet and my temp jobs were on relapse. We were planning to go to the beach with Meliss and the boys but the weather (oddly) didn't cooperate. So instead we gave Meliss some editing time and Rach and I ventured out with the boys to the children's museum on an Auntie date! It was a blast! There was so much to do and so many exciting things for them to explore in this two level children's playhouse. It was definitely built for them! Julian had a pile of pennies in his pocket that he had taken from the penny jar at home before we left. How fortuitous! They had an awesome spiraling 'toy' penny spinner (and place to donate)! He noticed how you could get two pennies going in different directions and watched penny after penny go through until he used them all up!


There was a ticket booth nearby that Jack and Christian adored, which allowed entrance into the theater where there was a stage and costumes!

Their favorite was an airplane to play in! Caleb and Julian played pilots and Jack and Christian joined in!




On the lower level there was a water table, puppets, a pretend restaurant, and so many other toys. Christian got excited about the mystery doors with different latches that had clocks and other gadgets behind them to explore. What a fun day!



We’ll have to have try to have an Auntie Date in Edmonton with the Schneider boys too!

Dear Aunties-
What a fun time you had - and memorable too. The pix are lovely, I felt like I was there too.

thanks again. The boys can't stop talking about their auntie date, and it was such an enormous help for me!
