Discovery Gateway

We went to a children's museum yesterday and Joshua had a blast. Before they opened, though, we went to Build-a-Bear and he picked out a Big Bird. He was a little scared of helping, but he did pick out and kiss a heart to go inside of him.
When the museum opened, he got to go around to the different learning exhibits and actually participate by doing things. Here's a few more pics (the first one with Joshua giving the "news" is from there, too!)-

Here's Joshua and Sydney, another one of his good friends. Her mom, Crystal, and I like to scrapbook together while the kids play. Sydney's a little older than Joshua but he doesn't care! He loves to hang out with other kids. :) They were wearing friendship bracelets when I took this photo. Too cute!

Still tons of snow around here and much too cold to do much outdoors!! Here's Joshua doing one of his favorite things...looking at our photo albums! He loves to look at them. He points to the pictures and even notices some of my fun embellishments (he pointed to some balloons and said, "baloo.") :) .

Jack came over for a couple of hours last night to play. The boys had a blast together!!

Who goes out for ice cream when it's freezing and snowy outside? We do!! :) Sounded good and we'd been stuck inside so we made a trip to go out for ice cream. Needless to say, we were the only ones in there for a while!

Snow

This was from a few days ago (maybe a week!!), but I'm just getting around to it. Joshua got all decked out in his snow gear but was afraid to move in the snow!! He liked it much better near the garage entrance where he could stay in the dry garage and just barely step in the snow. I think it was just too deep for him to move very well otherwise. He likes to pick it up and try to throw the snow.
