I've got one hand in my Pocket, and the other one is playin' a piano

So for the longest time Scott and I have really wanted to take my nephews out and do something fun with them, we finally go the chance this week when we took them the Gateway to go to the Discovery Children's Museum. Now I think I have the cutest nephews on the planet, feel free to argue, but I know you are just jealous :) Riley is my oldest nephew who is 6 (he is my step-nephew for those who are wondering, but I'll still claim him) and Tyler is my other nephew who is 2. They were so excited to go and Scott and I were really excited too, somethings are just more fun with kids. There are a ton of pictures in this post, so I'll try to keep the comments short.
This is Tyler, and he is very excited, this is the face he makes when you tell him to smile, and I just love it! By the way, he got into a kool-aid packet before arriving for our outing, so currently his hands and face are stained red, I think this is hilarious!

At lunch they handed out balloons to the kids, the boys loved this, and it created quite a distraction from our chicken nuggets...

Here is Riley in a helicopter they have there for the kids to play with. He thought this was so cool, and pretended to fly it.

Tyler liked it too!

I think this may have been the highlight of the trip today :)

They are building an earthquake proof house, and it fell... better luck next time.

They have this awesome room full of balls and tubes going all sorts of places, this one sucked the balls up, and every time it did Tyler would yell "Whoa!!" I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

He would empty the whole bucket, then go down and get more, and empty it again. He had so much fun doing this.

Riley was bit more fun, because he's older, here he is riding the life size fake horse they have there, he's such a ham for the camera.

Here he is at the top of the rock wall, again hamming it up!

Tyler loves water, his favorite was to pump the water and try to catch it.

He loves cars, here he's trying to drive away.

Finally her found one that moved, and after that we couldn't get him to leave, kids are so simple.

The water was a big hit!

back to the ball room, this place was just so amazing to them!

So this picture is funny, in the lobby they have this huge purple thing that you put coins on to roll down, and the coins go to help Primary Children's hospital, so I'm fine putting coins in it, but upon arriving and leaving you would have thought this was the reason we came, they loved this thing, I had to pull them away to go inside and play and pull them away to leave for home. If i invested in one of these things I'd make bank!

All in all it was a great day, and I hope to spend more time with my nephews like this again, they behaved really well for me and we only had one small break down when Tyler missed his nap time and was grumpy, but I think it was worth it. It's going to be so fun to have kids for them to play with, and dress up with and do fun things like this with. I love my family and the joy they bring into my life, and I'm excited for Scott to be a daddy because he's going to be such a wonderful father, teacher and leader to our children, and I will teach them how to compulsively wash their hands :)
