Edventure

Ok, I'm way behind on posting pictures and these are from our trip to Edventure back in February. Joey's sister, Sarah, was visiting and we wanted to get together and take the kids to do something fun. She has a daughter, Charlee, who is two and half and our newest addition to the family, Max, who was born in October. This was my first time seeing little Max. What a cutie! Jeff and Sarah sure do make some cute babies!!

So Joey's Mom (Mimi), Sarah, Charlee, Max, me and Carlysle all met at Edventure for an afternoon of fun......and chasing kids! That place is incredible. The best was Carlysle's reaction to "Eddie", the HUGE boy that is several stories high that you actually can climb through. He is in the foyer as soon as you walk in. She seriously stopped looked up and said "Whoaaaa". We had a great time and I can't wait to take Carlysle back, especially when she's a little older.

This is Carlysle seeing "Eddie" for the first time.



So this was the biggest hit of the day and I have to say it was pretty cool. They had a mini grocery store where you get your own mini grocery cart, then you get to fill your cart with "real" groceries (they've taken the food out of the boxes, cans, etc), and they even have a mini checkout counter where you scan your groceries and it beeps with each product. It is so cool how much it resembles an actual grocery store. The funniest part was when Charlee walked over the credit card machine and pretended to swipe her card. Hilarious! Sarah had no idea she knew to do that. Another example of how much kids take in when you have no clue they are even watching!

This is my child trying to steal a box of cereal. She clearly didn't understand you had to "pay" for items. She just walked in, saw a cereal box she liked and tried to leave with it. Guess we'll have to do a better job of explaining why you can't just take things.

I love this picture. It's hard to tell but Charlee came over and grabbed Carlysle's hand and was trying to help her over the display in front of them. Too cute!

This is a statue that Carlysle was scared of at first but then decided she would check him out when she realized he wasn't moving.
