Spring Break Fun

The boys had spring break last week so we decided to get away for a night and have some fun. We started our adventure out by going to the mall. We had lunch and then hit the play area. We soon discovered that the Midland Mall now has a train you can ride. Micah was so excited!
Max, at the ripe old age of 5, thought it was for babies and was not to thrilled about riding.




I made him ride anyways. Notice how involved he is lol.




After the mall we stayed at the Midland Resort. We did this last year too. The hotel is older but its pretty inexpensive and the boys love the pool and the huge play area. I love the pool because its only two and half feet deep around the whole pool and four feet in the middle so the boys can play around the whole pool and know not to go in the middle.



We had lots of fun.









There's just something about a hotel pool that equals a great time.











The next day was kind of rainy so we decided to go to the Center for the Arts and check out the plane exhibit and the Hollywood costume exhibit. They had costumes from a bunch of sci fi and super hero movies.













I always knew my boys would become astronauts!















a few of the model planes on exhibit.

















Micah kept wanting to turn this propeller. Its hard for boys to not touch at the museum.




















Max thought this plane was awesome.












































So I got this picture of one of the Star Trek the Next Generation costumes and then realized you weren't suppose to take pictures. At least I got the best costume! They had some costumes from Indiana Jones which was really cool too. They also had Batman and Robin, Star Wars and Terminator garb. It was fun to see them.








They had some really fun hands on stuff about outer space. The boys both had fun with this.

























































This taught you about gravity. It was cool.





















We had a really fun couple of days. So glad we are fortunate enough to be able to do fun things like this with the boys. It was really nice to just hang out for a couple of days and not have to worry about running the boys to and from school everyday. I realized that I am really looking forward to summer vacation!
