More parks and water

Two weekends ago we took the kids to the local science museum.  They have an indoor play area for kids, a huge metal drum/chimes area outside and a train.  Megan had a blast standing and hitting the drums with her stick and of course she loved the train ride.   We went back to Pullen Park on Labor Day and when she saw the carousel she let go of Will's hand, walked to the railing and started pointing at it to say she wanted to get on.  

This past weekend we found a park that is closer to home than Pullen, has a lot more rides and was seriously less crowded.  Megan loved, loved, loved all of the rides: train, carousel, airplane, cars and boats.  She would fuss when the rides stopped and she definitely didn't want to leave.  We will be spending more time at this park for sure.

We had a neat experience at a local park.  A little girl saw Megan and came up and asked me if she went to Pathways Elementary because she recognized her.  She said that she likes to push Megan around in the car on the playground.  It was very sweet.

Thursday was Megan's end of school party and a little girl who had been out of school for a few weeks due to being in the hospital was back.  Megan was so happy to see her she kept trying to give her kisses.

Now that it is warm out we have been spending a lot of time playing in the water table and Megan loves it so much that she won't sit down.  She stands at that table so long her little legs start trembling and I have to force her to sit and if I don't take her inside she immediately stands back up.  This is great work for strengthening her legs.
