Children's Museum

Since Caroline went to bed late and slept late this morning, she did not need or want to take her morning nap. So, mom and I decided we would take the kids to breakfast with everyone. Every Saturday, some of the "Rural Hall ladies" go to the same place for breakfast. They have been going so long, that they bring out hot biscuits as "an appetizer"...bet you've never had an appetizer for breakfast before! So, breakfast usually ends up lasting from 9:30ish until 11:30ish after you've had coffee, chit chatted, and finally eaten the real meal.
The kids were satisfied with the biscuit since they had both already eaten. Sawyer wanted a pancake, so I ended up eating half of his breakfast. After we were pretty much finished eating, we decided to take the kids to the Children's Museum. We took the kids back in December when Jammie was able to go with us. I think Sawyer enjoyed his time then, but I think he had more fun today. He was not shy like he was in Dec. and was ready to try out all they had to offer. Plus, Caroline was interested in exploring too.
The new exhibit this time was life sized letters. They only had about half of them because the other ones can be found throughout the libraries in the county. Pretty cool idea I thought. That room also had a nice rug with someone that starts with each letter, books to read, and a game where you throw turtles into holes in the board. Caroline really enjoyed this game.
Sawyer's favorite place was Krispy Kreme. He enjoyed this back in December, but someone had to help him understand what to do. This time you would have thought he worked there! He had a blast loading up the donuts, turning the wheels to watch them go on the conveyer belt, drop out of the pipe, then placed on another belt, turn the wheel, then watch them drop into the final bucket...and repeat! He choose to spend his last 5 minutes here.
They also have a Food Lion grocery store where he went shopping, scanned his items, and paid for them. He enjoyed going fishing and rowing the boat, looking at the Three Little Bears display, "reading" in the bathtub, going over the bridge for The Three Billy Goats Gruff, building, watching the scarves go through the pipes, climbing, and so on. We stayed a good two hours there before coming home for a late lunch and nap; which is what everyone else is still doing!
