Trip to Grammy's

Macie, Weston, and I went to visit Grammy and Papaw without Daddy last week!  We had an awesome time!  The kids had a blast!  They loved playing outside, going to the Science Place, and to the museum/park!  They also were able to spend lots of time with Jackson and Jillian.  I always brag on what great kids/cousins Jackson and Jillian are.  They are such great examples and they play and play and play with the kids! It just makes my heart happy!  We always love spending time with Grammy and Papaw!

 Weston had to sit by Jackson while taking a break.

 The one sport Weston hasn't really played yet at our house is tennis.  He got in lots of practice with Grammy.  He tries to throw the ball up and hit it by himself.  I assume Weston will play sports as he grows older because of his loves of sports now.

 Macie wanted in on the TENNIS actions.  I was very impressed that she did such a good job hitting the ball too!  I would love for her to learn to play because it is a life long sport.  Maybe I can  learn as well and we can play together.

 Tuesday morning we went to the Science Place.  Macie has been talking about the Science Place since the last we went about a year ago.  She loved all there is to do there!  Weston did too!

 The BALL section was Weston's favorite part!  Imagine that.  He stayed in this section the most!

 The Science Place has a pretend play area with a grocery store, bank, hospital, cafe, fire truck, veterinarian clinic and courtroom.  They spent a lot of time playing in each of these sections.  I LOVE THIS PLACE!  We spend 2 hrs there but could have spent all day!  There are so many neat things for the kids to do!

 We also went to the Brookshire's Museum.  I believe Janet said Mr. Brookshire (owner of the grocery store) loves/loved to hunt.  He put all his prized animals in this exhibit.  I think others have donated to it as well.  Very impressive.

 Outside the musuem is a fun park.  Even though it poured rain the night before, we played and played. The train behind can be climbed on as well!

 Around they go, HOW they do it I don't know!  I get dizzy just watching.  Weston was fishing the whole time in the puddle below.

 This old fire truck was probably Macie's favorite.  We fought a lot of fires while we were at the park!

Inside the cave, they have a small area to stand on which shakes you like an earthquake.  Macie and Weston got a kick out of it.
