Fall Break Fun!

The girls have had a week long Fall Break from school this week. It has been so nice to sleep past 5:30 and lounge around in the morning. Unfortunately all three kids have caught the same bug so we've had to low-key it a little but we still squeezed in a little fun between fevers and coughs.

Swimming in October? Who would have thought!
I love, love, love this swimming floaty for Wisdom! He can't take it off and he can't drown! Such peace of mind.

On Wednesday we headed to Enchanted Island Amusement Park (a mini amusement park designed for kids ages 2-10). We played there for 5 hours! There were only about 10 rides so it wasn't too huge and it was slow enough that there weren't any lines. The kids sometimes even stayed on a ride and rode it a few times in a row. It was lots of fun!

Here's the roller coaster that Kindly & Wisdom loved. I think they went on it at least 10 times. Passion wasn't quite as big a fan but she did go on it this one time.



A train ride! Wisdom was SO excited!




Kindly was the only one brave enough to go on this ride with me. It was fun!


And finally on Friday we visited The Phoenix Children's Museum. It was very cool! The kids had a blast. I think we could have spent all day there but we did stay for 5 hours. The best part for me was that Travis took the morning off to come with us (unfortunately that means a full day for him on Saturday) but still nice to spend some family time together. Sorry I'm posting A LOT of pictures but everything was so cool it was hard not to post even more.

The Climber (3 stories of climbing fun!)


The Flying tubes that Wisdom thought were hilarious! Watch the video to see.


The Car Wash (Kindly's in there)

The Fort Room (how cool is that!)


There was lots of little learning and playing things all along the hallways of the museum. This is one that has threaded pipe and big washers. They vibrated all the way down.

Kindly's pirate hat that she made in the Art Room.

The Grocery Store



The Cars


Wisdom playing in the Kitchen. This was in a room for only 3 and unders.

The Restaurant. The kids took our orders and made us yummy, pretend food to eat.


Overall a really fun Fall Break. And now it's Back to School and back to waking up early again! Boo!

Great photos! I LOVE childrens museums, so much fun. So weird to see the swimming pool and Fall in the same sentence. I love all the smiles though, looks like good times in AZ.
