Road Trip 2011 - Charlotte (DiscoveryPlace)

Yes, they are at another kid's museum. On this day, Magan took them to DiscoveryPlace in downtown Charlotte. Magan is getting pretty used to driving around in the big cities.


This was Belle's bridge, magan told me that another kid wanted to pass over the bridge, and Belle just looked at her and growled, then gave her a raspberry to ensure that she realized this was not the other kid's bridge.














Magan said Sam kept working on this car until it was super dooper fast.






Polar Bear!







I don't know if you can see the bags the boys made below, but this was definately the highlight of the museum, at least what they couldn't wait to show me. They got to make some bags out of fabric and duct tape that really held up pretty well. I think Polar Bear ended up riding in Sams bag, and Tiger rode in Davis' bag for the remainder of the trip.









After dinner that night...yes, once again at maccaroni Grill. we took the kids to the swimming hole. No hot tub here, just a cold tub.











In Charlotte, I told the boys of the Gunslinger Bully Bully and his quest to find the magic tower that holds all of the worlds together. He first traveled across the mighty desert fighting in an abandoned town with the army men from Toy Story, where he finally caught up with the Man in Black...Lotso. I think they enjoyed my modified version of Stephen King's masterpiece.


This last picture also reminds me of some tough times getting these boys to sleep, but also something that happened while these boys got to share a bed for so many nights...they became really close buddies and starting talking and laughing together a lot more. Even at home this summer, I would go into their room hearing laughter well after we put them to bed, and find either Sam in Davis' bed or Davis in Sam's bed. Yes, they still fight enough to drive me crazy, but they are really good friends and have started playing together much better.
