Busy Morning

This morning was action packed.

It was 'bring your kid to boot camp day' so since Michael was out of town, I took all three kids. I thought they would last about 5 minutes, but all of them did the whole class running, jumping and crawling with the bigger kids. And with the girls in their leotards and pony tails, they pretty much won the cute contest hands down. They got snacks and medals at the end of class.

Since I thought they wouldn't last in the class, I brought some bread to feed to the ducks at the lake, which was really close to class. So we went down there, but the geese were so aggressive, it freaked out the girls too much. After a quick stop at the playground, I was hungry. We went to Lakeside Cafe for some pancakes. Throughout all of this, the kids were exceptionally well behaved (minus some knife banging while waiting for the food.)

As it was still early (10am) we went to Chabot Space and Science Center, where I have never been before. Parker recently went there on a class field trip and kept talking about it. At Parker's request, we went to the movie first (planetarium style), but the darkness and loud music scared the shit out of the girls and we high tailed it out of there. We ended up in room for little kids that we could have stayed in for hours. They had everything: marble runs, lego, magnet letters, animals, computer for little ones, art projects, blocks...you name it! Leaving only twice for Elizabeth requested bathroom breaks, we stayed there until 12:30 when we had to get going home for naps.

As you can imagine, the kids were plum tuckered and fell asleep for naps very quickly.
