Busy Huxley-filled weekend

We spent our long weekend taking Huxley out and about. Saturday morning we went to the Children's Museum with Jason's Boss and his family. Huxley loves to play in the Playscape area. It's a room that's designed for 0-5 year old kids to run and explore. He played at the water table and then spent the rest of the time running around with a lawn mower. He ran and ran until he was too tired to stand. After his mowing adventure in the playscape, we ventured up to the fourth level, and he took a carousel ride with Dad and went through the mirror maze. He was pretty wiped at this point. We wrapped up our tour of the museum with a look at the fish tanks (aka doggies). He finished his morning with a cheeseburger and chips.

Later in the afternoon we went to a sprinkle park (Dillon Park). He wasn't too thrilled with the water. It wasn't the right temperature. Jason's mom and stepdad joined us at the park, but Huxley could not be lured into the water. He eventually sat down in a corner and played with a teenage mutant ninja turtle's calculator given to him by Jason's mom. We ventured over to the playground where Huxley had an accident...The adventure was over at that point, and we all went home. Huxley suffered no lasting injuries. He's gotten pretty bruised lately from all his outdoor adventures.

Sunday, we went to our neighborhood park in the morning and shopped in the afternoon with my mom. There's this great store at the Castelton Mall called Crazy Eights. They have really cute clothes for toddlers and babies. We got his closet stocked for summer. Toys R US wasn't far, so we stopped and picked up a lawnmower for Huxley. When I got home Huxley went crazy with the lawnmower. I didn't think he was ever going to sleep.

It rained on Monday so we stayed inside and rested for the week ahead. In the afternoon, Jason's dad stopped by with one of his dogs. Huxley kept trying to walk the dog but got pulled around instead.

Huxley is getting so big! Running around with lawnmowers, eh? I'm sure Spike and Buffy will love this new toy.

Buffy & Spike have plenty else to fear. The lawnmower doesn't even hit their radar.
