Helping me make dinner, helping Joel eat his dinner

The Family Fun area

In the lower level they have a Family Fun hands on section for kids, I guess we just wore him out, amazing, endless energy, and out like a light...

The secret passage...

My men!
Only a little man can fit thru the passage to the next room, hahaha, the chase was on!
The view from the bridge connecting the Hamilton Building to the original building.
Henry does Head-Shoulders-Kness and Toes with us now, he pointed to the turtle and said EYE, EYE.

Bubaloo exhibit

They project bubbles on to the round, you chase them and step on them and they POP! That was a good 40 minutes:)

Clothes off...

Big H had so much fun!

Water Fountains

There are water fountains right outside the museum. We went down early, before they opened so we could all play!

Denver Art Museum

A perfect sunday in Denver, beautiful day, picnic lunch...

New arrangement

You know how I like to change things around every month or so...we will see how this feels for a bit. This leaves Henry a large area to play without the temptation to climb on the bookshelves. Little monkey tried to climb on the chairs to get to the shelves, he was half way there with a foot on a shelf...good thing we had the security strap bolted to the wall!

Mr. Fixit

Henry had a tape measure and the screwdriver with a removeable bit that G&G Menkveld bought for us ALL day. He doesn't like to just have one, he goes looking for the other. Grammie taught him to measure...
Henry is taking after all of his Grandpa's, building furniture, doing electrical work and hanging window treatments, soon he will be building toys, he can barely walk! :):):)

Slat Bench

After finger painting Grammie gave me a bath, trying to escape from the towel but paused for a photo op. Grampie and Henry built a copy of the George Nelson slat bench, had the original legs, just needed the top. That was our weekend project. Our house is coming along nicely, planted some flowers, new deck on the front, etc...

First finger paints

oh, what is this? Paint? ooh, pretty fun! I want more! Really into it now, mom can clean the table..... I am a serious artist!
