Staycation Days 2 and 3

Day 2 of our Staycation - a true staycation day spent relaxing at home. (Otherwise known as mom-and-dad-were-feeling-lazy!)
Jack "reading" to Brett - love it!
Brett trying to escape from the backyard!
Jack's excellent golf swing in action - the next Phil Mickelson (I can't compare him to Tiger!)
The boys snacking...with golf clubs
Day 3 of our Staycation was a blast! Our frinds Jill and Thomas had a pass for the Children's Museum at Navy Pier in Chicago. Jill and I loaded up all three boys and drove into the big city. Almost six hours later we had three very tired and very happy kiddos! I know I have a ton of pictures here - but it was so much fun I couldn't seem to narrow them down!

Thomas, Brett, and Jack (known today as the three stooges!)
We spent some time building with boards, nuts, and bolts
There was a great board where Brett could take the bolts in and out of the holes to make a picture - perfect for tiny, not-quite-coordinated-yet hands!
My boys working together - love it!
The kids loved the Treehouse room - was one of their favorites!
Jack loved catching fish, frogs, and reptiles (as he accurately told me each one!)

Digging and discovering dinosaur bones!
Silly boys!
Both the boys also loved the water room - we saved it for last since they needed a full clothing change after we got done playing!!
Jack loved building a water system with these pipes - he spent almost his entire time in the water room at this station. He had a ton of fun with it!
Brett kept filling a funnel with water and then was amazed that by the time he looked into it, the water was gone. He was amazed all 50 times he did that! The confused look was priceless!
About 30 minutes into the car ride home - three sleepers! And two moms in the front with Starbucks!!! What a great trip! We all loved it!!
