One Last Hurrah!

Our public library had such an awesome summer program.  The girls not only earned circus tickets, they earned museum tickets too.  We squeezed in one more field trip this week before our fall activities start.  Caroline was scared of the crocodile and wouldn't pose for a pic.  Another fear these days is any slide that is a tunnel.
  Must be a hurricane coming.  Abby and Caroline filled their cart to the brim.
 These girls are pros in the pretend store.
 Caroline kept running up with this fish saying "He doesn't go here.  He lives in the ocean."
 Playing Hospital- We talked about Cousin Carter being born.

There are lots of things to build with at this museum.

 Microscopes
There wasn't as much room in the dinosaur footprint this time.  They have definitely grown this summer!

 In the light room, they had a good time with the glowing pens, the huge lightbright and making shadows.
 Caroline really thought the shadows were neat.

 Going on a Cattle Drive

Our time at the museum ended with the Sesame Street Planetarium Show.  I didn't take pics during it.  I enjoyed sitting back and looking at the stars.  I always get a tear in my eye when Big Bird sings Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  I feel like summer and an era of our lives officially ended yesterday with our last Emler swim lesson.  The girls will be old enough to both take at the aquatic center next season.  While exciting new changes are ahead, I am a little sad thinking about how old Abby and Caroline seem.  No more Mommy and Me classes.  They are not babies anymore.  We have soccer players, dancers and two girls headed to school next week.  Where did the time go?
