For the past several years at Christmas, Nathan's parents, have gotten us a family membership to Boonshoft Children's Museum. We try to go at least once a month, but our routine was thrown off with the holidays, so today we tried to get back on track. Mom didn't have to work, so she decided to join us and we had a really good time. This was the first time that Emmaline was actually able to sit and play with things, so it was fun to see her reaction to all the new things. Jacob and Gabrielle had a great time running from area to area, as always. We were saddened to see that Tawny, the coyote, had passed away since our last visit. It was always fun to see her follow the kids back and forth through the windows of her home. Jacob is already asking when they'll get a new coyote to take her place. After we were done at the museum, we met Nathan at McDonald's for lunch, where the kids each used their own gift cards from Christmas (thanks Uncle Andy!) to pay for their own Happy Meals. We were going to have ice cream for dessert, but apparently there is some unwritten rule that McDonald's ice cream machines must always be broken whenever the urge for a sundae hits its customers. Oh well, maybe next time!

Emmaline loved riding on this eggplant. She couldn't rock back and forth very well, but loved moving from side to side on it!
