Science Center in Baltimore

The boys and I had the BEST time on our latest POLP adventure!  Last Saturday Peyton, Jaxson and I set out for a trip to the Science Center in Baltimore to meet up with a bunch of our friends.   Here’s the infamous group shot (ha, ha, these are always fun!)

Love this photo of Jaxson and Nathan “talking”….

Sweet Simon with the boys!

Parker and Peyton

 

The boys had a great time checking out all the weather stuff, everything from tornados to sand dunes.

After lunch we checked out the Shipwreck exhibits.  Aren’t these two of the cutest pirates you’ve ever seen?!

Peyton and Preston steering the ship!

Poor Jaxson was exhausted after lunch so he missed most of the Shipwreck exhibits…….

We also watched a show at the Planetarium where I did not get any pictures.  However, I did take a few pictures of the telescope on the roof which had special lenses so we could look at the sun.  I think the constellations and sun were one of our favorite parts of the day!

After such a great day we decided to walk around the Inner Harbor and find dinner with Kim and Preston & Melissa, Sonya, Zoe and Akela.  It was a perfect way to end our day.

I just love all these girls and their kids,  including those that could not join us today, we missed you all!!!  I can’t believe what amazing friendships I would have missed out on if Jaxson was not here to introduce me to them.

Halloween 2010

Halloween was a little different this year.  We carved our pumpkin the day before Halloween, but neither of the boys seemed very interested.  I think they spent all of about 30 seconds “helping” and then were off to play or just watch Jason finish it.

We did peak Peyton’s interest a little more when we let him use the knife to actually cut out the face. 

The boys had a lot more fun making the “Mr. Potato Head” pumpkins a few weeks ago.  These are really nice as they last a lot longer than the carved ones.  Unfortunately, Peyton was not in the mood to pose for pictures, but I did manage to get one of each of them with our pumpkins (just not together….)

We usually take the boys trick-or-treating around our town each Halloween, but this year we went to Jason’s sisters house and spent the night walking around their neighborhood with a big group of kids.  Peyton had a great time running around with all the older boys, but it was a little more difficult for Jaxson to keep up.  No big deal though, he had plenty of candy and Peyton would always run back down the driveway with a second handful of candy for Jaxson!

Here’s my vampire and black night.  Hope everyone had a great Halloween too!!
