No TV Sunday...
What a great day! Daddy woke up today and announced, "no TV today!" After my heart came out of shock and started to pump blood to my brain once again, I decided it was a great idea. Hey, at least he didn't announce a no TV day on a week day! Although...I have been considering putting more restrictions on the amount of TV time that happens around here. Maybe I'll start enforcing a rule that we can only watch a mere 8 hours of TV per day. Just kidding!
While I was getting ready for the day, Daddy and the kiddos went outside. I just had to grab my camera and take a picture of this little doll:
Are we desperate for spring, or what?! I can't wait for the days of bare feet, watermelon, and backyard pools!
After playing outside for a bit, we decided to head here. We got a one year membership from Aunt Michelle an Uncle Matt for Christmas - what a great gift!
Here are the kiddos...ready to go exploring:

And THIS thing! You grab the side and give it a giant spin. Then you toss little stuffed animals into it and watch them stick to the sides as it spins. It's called a "Centripetal Spinner"...also known as a "If Mommy Watches Too Long She's Gonna Puke-er":

And the final thing we discovered? These mirrors. You stand in the center of these mirrors that are set up in a triangle, and it looks like there are about 500 people in there! After playing in there for a while, I really did feel like throwing up! My stomach just hasn't been the same since loosing my cookies (or giant red state-fair hotdog) on the "Octopus" ride back in North Dakota...
And now Daddy and the big kids are taking a bike ride, and the little ones are napping. It's almost 50 degrees here today! Remember in my "100 things" post, when I said that there are some days that I'd like to live in Wisconsin? Yeah...today isn't one of those days! Sorry Mom and Dad...
Hope you all are having as nice a day as we are :)
Looks like you guys had a great time! We've never been there but will be making a trip soon after seeing your fun pictures. :)
