Kaylee Slept Over!

We finally got Kaylee for a sleep over again. It'd been quite a while. Everyone is so busy with their own activities. We made it happen last Saturday night. She is such a good kid. She and Walker have always gotten along really well. Now at 11 she is still making time for him. So good of her. When I picked her up after work Saturday afternoon we went to the market and she got to pick out the snacks. No more peanut allergy so that is good! I think it was a rough couple of years for her, since she loves peanutbutter so much. Now she can finally eat it again.


Saturday night they watched movies and played with Legos.


Kaylee is really good with Legos.
Sunday we went for a "Mystery Ride." They didn't know where we were going but I did. Fun. We ended up at the SSC, the See Science Center in Manchester, NH.
http://www.see-sciencecenter.org I'd never been there. It was really fun. It has a HUGE Lego model of downtown Manchester. I could have looked at it for so long. It was really cool. Must have taken years to complete. I was bummed because I forgot my camera. The following were taken with my phone. They came out alright, though.

Gear center. They were all magnetic. You could get them all to work together if you tried. Walker did not really have the attention span for that, though. He wanted to run all over and see what else there was to see.


Cool mirror room.


Pulley chairs.


Air ball. They had different size and weight balls and this air thing. Each ball stayed up or bounced on it differently.


The task was to get all these large nails on top of the red pole. We had NO IDEA until we looked at the cheat notes.

Super big bubble maker.

The Millyard in Manchester. All Lego, with running train, trolley, little amusement park and running water.

These pictures just can't do this project justice. It was amazing.

Have I mentioned this Lego Manchester is really cool and big?!
Sunday morning we got up and did our 4th annual Easter Egg coloring. Kaylee has always done it with us.



They have to reach as far away from themselves as possible. I guess that's what makes it so much fun.
Egg dunk.
Almost done and then the finished product. They turned out great! Each year the kids spend a little longer with the project. At the end they were mixing all the colors together.
Walker served his eggs to Scott for a snack. Yummy!
