Armed and Dangerous
I took the kids the other day to our local museum for their latest exhibit Armed and Dangerous-The Art of the Arsenal.
We did all the normal stuff we do there..then we headed upstairs for the exhibit… the kids LOVED it..it was really cool!
Funny thing happened.. our friends were there on a field trip with their school and we ran into them!
Museum of Science
My mother and I took the 3 younger kids to the Boston Museum of Science yesterday. Our goal was the Harry Potter Exhibition. We were very lucky that it was also free film Friday so we got free tickets to the Omni theatre film of our choice.. we decided to see Coral Reef Adventure.
Our first stop was the Harry Potter exhibition.. wow.. it was fantastic..well worth the money..lol.. Declan and Ziah were in awe..Taejan liked it but he hasn’t really seen any of the movies..There was no photography allowed… oh well. I was very happy to get a new coffee mug..mine the picture had finally worn off after many years…so I’m happy!! The kids each got a chocolate frog.
After the exhibit we ate lunch then went off on our merry way.
We were able to tour one wing before our Omni show :
We only saw not even half the museum, but it was ok..the omni show was amazing..all 3 kids enjoyed it so much! ( here’s pictures from our trip there in June)
A trip to the museum…
Eric and the kids wanted to go to the local museum Sunday ( I wanted to stay in the warm house in my jammies!).. so off we went.
It was very quiet there..
Taejan wanted to “just sit and look at them mom” in the aquarium..
Ziah got to pet Bubbles:
The touch tank’s are always a hit here:
The kids love the “new” Hall of Innovation.. we spend a lot of time there whenever we go!
Declan loves the Ball of Whacks.. I think we need to get one of these:
Taejan’s favorite part of the museum is the Natural Science World in Miniature..
The Calder toys are always fun..and since we were the only ones in this part of the museum at this time..my kids had even more fun than normal..lol
Dress up is always fin..
Ziah liked this pocketbook…lol
The fountain was running..only wish we had some change on us so they could have made some wishes..
Our museum is very lucky to have a Mummy..now when I was a kid this thing freaked me out..now..well I think it’s awesome..and when they updated the museum awhile back they added the banners that tell you about Pahat..so now after my entire life seeing the mummy..I actually have taken the time to learn about him..lol
Since we have a membership again ( thanks to my mom) we will be back often!
Yankee Candle
We are very lucky to live not far from one of Yankee Candle’s Flagship stores ( the original flagship store in fact). I’m not a big candle person, but this place is so amazing we go at least once or twice a year. ( 2008’s holiday trip) (2007’s Holiday trip). I always like to go before Thanksgiving, because after that the crowds are just too much.
The store is always very Christmasy, but even more so at this time of year..it’s perfect for getting in the Holiday mood!
The boys worked together to make a jar candle as a Christmas gift:
They all got to dip a set of candles to use as a Christmas gift:
Walking around is so magically, especially for the kids.
Declan was very excited to get into this room just as the snow started:
We also caught a glimpse of the Jolly Ole Man too..my kids won’t talk to him, but they were excited to see him just the same!
After we were done I treated the kids to lunch at Chandler’s..they have the best food and service around!
Geography Expo
Wednesday was the 2nd annual Geography Expo that one of the HSIng groups I am in sponsors. We missed it last year so I was determined to make it this year..I am very glad we did!
The kids are all given a passport, where they can gather facts, and get stamp or sticker from each country they “visit”. There was several exchange students ( one of whom is a friend of Noah’s from school) and every family that presented a country did a great job.The kids loved the various samples of food and candy from many of the countries. Declan is very excited now to present a country next year!
Here’s Noah ( right) with his friend that is from Egypt:
