Family Fun

We spent this evening out having fun. We decided to take the boys to a park in North Little Rock that had a drive thru Christmas light display. It cost $5 and was worth it to hear the excitement of the kids as they determined what each display was. It only took about 10 minutes, tops to SLOWLY drive thru, but it was fun.

Then we took them to the capitol to see the lights. We took pictures and video and as soon as I get the pictures off the camera. The kids had a lot of fun running around and the capitol was beautiful with all of the Christmas lights.

Then we went to the bookstore. Caleb spent his birthday money on a science experiment kit. He got a microscope for Christmas (they all got to open one gift today). So, tomorrow will be spent making slides with whatever he can find and examing under the microscope and making science experiments.

We finished the night off with a trip to Krispy Kreme Donuts. I have never been inside one before, only through the drive thru. It was really neat. You walk in and they immediately give you a glazed donut. You get to see the entire process of the donuts being made. The boys were fascinated - as were Paul and I. The boys each got a Christmas sprinkle donut and milk. The donuts were so warm and soft!!

Now we are back home and the boys are all playing with the gifts they got to open today. Isaac picked out the game MouseTrap - which he is not really old enough to play, but we improvise and he manages to be happy with it. Bryce got a big truck with lights and sound (because there is not enough sound in this house full of boys). It also has a big trailer with a pair of jet skies and lots of little pieces (like a cooler, tool box, floor jack, etc.). Maybe these will hold them over until Christmas morning.
