Last Week of Freedom!

We squeezed a lot of fun into our last free days before school started.  Afternoons were dedicated to Ben's tutoring but we checked a lot of things off our Summer Fun list in our last week.  I was really excited to take the kids to a little science lab with tons of experiments ready to test out.
 

 We all loved it!

The kids weren't really into the science behind all the experiments (no surprise) but they had a lot of fun doing all we could in our time there.

Some of the water and oil experiments were really fun.  Love the expressions!


Not sure what this is but it's definitely carbon-based.

They loved it so much they begged to go back a few days later.  The old scientist in me had no problem agreeing!  We made lots of goo and fake snow.
 

 

We also played with the air drum.  So much fun!  I hope they'll open one closer to us because I'd love for the kids to do a summer camp there next year.
  

We also went to the mall and found out Ben is too tall for the play area now (boo hoo!!) but Alex is tall enough to ride the carousel alone (yahoo!!).  I loved taking pictures and waving every time he came around.

Someone else would have nothing to do with the pictures or the waving.  Eight year olds are too cool for that.

 We found an awesome two-story carousel at a different mall in Houston.


 The boys wrapped up their swim lessons at my gym.  They made some great progress this year and learned several different strokes, although mastering them will take a little longer :)

We stopped for one last snow cone to wrap up our summer
 

We got some cuddles on the couch (photo courtesy of Alex) and were thankful for such a wonderful summer together with lots of great memories. I love having my little chicks under my wing all summer and it's always hard to let them go again.
