Children's Museum

We went to the Children's Museum with my brother's family today. We had such an amazing time together!! It's a wonderful thing to see all these children being raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Not only am I a proud mama, but also a proud Aunt! Rosebud and her cousin are "kindred spirits" as Anne of Green Gables would say. They both have a beautiful gift of making people feel loved. They easily make friends wherever they go and freely give hugs and kisses to brighten your day. They also......never stop talking!! LOL
This room was called, "Trash Bash." We used recycled and reused materials to create art, music and imaginative play activities. This pic is of Trash Mountain, an interactive exhibit that included a collection of trash from one family of four for one year. Can you say NASTY?!?!?!

All the kids had a great time creating their masterpieces. It's amazing what children can create when allowed to use their imaginations!
My sister-in-law is the most beautiful example of a Titus 2 woman that I know. She has a passion for raising children that bring honor to the Lord. She also is a beautiful picture of what God desires a wife to be. My girls are blessed beyond measure to have her as a role model in their lives. I treasure our times together.

The little ones loved playing with this HUGE parachute. They made it go s-l-o-w...then made it go FAST! They were allowed to run underneath, just as long as they came back out again! lol My youngest nephews' giggles were contagious.....Their smiles stretched from ear to ear!

It was a wonderful day!! God is so good to me!!
