Science Museum

Yesterday my mom took us to the science museum, and the kids had a blast. We spent most of our time in the butterfly exhibit, which I had never been to, and had no idea it has such cool stuff about bugs....perfect for a 3 year old boy!




Grossest sight of the day - the hissing cockroaches! A lady working at the museum took one out of the display and held it up for Luke to hear it hiss... I decided I could never be an entomologist



Abby looked amazed when we first walked in and saw all the butterflies!






Luke was very serious about identifying the butterflies using the "map" as he called it, I was so impressed with how interested he was!




Thanks Grandma for spending the day with us and helping us have so much fun!!

Beach and Mother's Day!

Last weekend, Vic's dad celebrated his 60th birthday with a "Beach party" as Luke called it :-) We spent Friday and Saturday in Galveston at a beach house with Vic's parents, we enjoyed beautiful weather and the kids had a blast. This was Luke's first trip to a beach (Abby went to Puerto Rico to the beach with us last year, but we doubt she remembers that!), and they LOVED it. I think Luke and Vic could have spent days working on their sand castles, it was so cute to see them have so much fun together. The beach party was even more fun than Luke had anticipated and it was such a fun way to celebrate PaPa's birthday. Then on Sunday, we enjoyed a yummy Mother's Day brunch with my family to end a great weekend. I am so blessed to be a mom to my precious two children!
