Family Fun Day January

Last Summer we started a new tradition of "Family Fun Day!" We had a great time at parks, splash pads, pizza picnics and such. Well when Abby was born we kind of got a little lazy in carrying this on, but got back on track last month. I have a whole list of ideas in my planner and have been enjoying just pulling some out for our plans!

We started off Family Fun Day January 2012 with a trip to the Natural History Museum on the campus of the University of Michigan. Logan loves dinosaurs and he was so excited to see fossils! The museum was the perfect size - enough fossils to get him excited, but not too much that he would get lost. We arrived about 10 minutes after they opened and it was nice because he could run around and have fun and yell and shout and get super excited. Perfect!

This was Abby's first Family Fun Day and she did well in her Beco carrier as logn as she was super tight against me.

In the gift shop we picked up a Paleontologist kit for Logan to do some of his own fossil digging. This was an exceptionally messy project, but Logan loved it. The age on it was for over 8 years old she he for sure needed Daddy's help to dig out all the pieces. They had a great time and it really held his attention for over an hour!

SUCH Concentration - love it!

After nap time he had put out all the ingredients for a Chocolate Chip Cookie scavenger hunt! Logan found all the ingredients and then had to guess what we were making and then he and I made them together. It was great!

Little Sister enjoyed sitting by while big borther and Daddy enjoyed the cookies (Momma is not a fan of chocolate chip cookies.)

For dinner we made homemade pizza and it was wonderful!

It was a great great day - we watched a movie together while eating our pizza and then off to bed where Logan said it was a great day. That was a cherry on top for sure!

Our next Family Fun Day is February 18th! Can't wait!!
