Children's Museum

What a fun day! I got a great deal on a family pass for the Children's Museum. I was worried that it might be a little bit too grown up for Jackson and Bradley but I was wrong, they loved it. John had the week off for vacation so we mixed it up with a staycation and a camping trip. It was so fun to have him with us.
Jackson and Bradley were both equally interested in the water exhibit. Thank heavens for the water vest that Jackson wore, if only Bradley would fit in one.
 Jackson loved "riding the pony" he said he was a cowboy.
Bradley has turned into a little clown, he makes cute little faces and is a tornado in any room. He makes the cutest little bull I've ever seen.
And what little boy can resist a turn in a helicopter, John was especially excited to see the kids taking a "ride" in it. Brad thought he should be able to crawl around and check it out properly, but I had other ideas for him.

Fishing

John's co-worker, Brent, invited us to go fishing with their family at Millhollow Lake. It was a fun day filled with firsts for both of our boys. Jackson actually reeled in a couple fish and Bradley even got a chance to hold a fishing pole. As for me, well I kept with my record of 0 fish caught. (For some reason I catch absolutely no fish no matter what tricks we use, go figure!)

Bradley and John, he was a trooper to stay in our arms almost the whole time.
This little boy is meant to fish, look at that cute little grin.
Jackson loved every moment of fishing, especially looking in the cooler and seeing what we caught. He even ate some of it for lunch back at the cabin. What a fun day!
