I hadn't been back to my office since before I got pregnant with Rylan because they haven't had any part-time work for me to do (which I'm quite happy with). The office manager actually called me a couple of weeks ago to see how I was doing and I decided it was about time I introduced everyone to Rylan and showed off how much Carter has grown up.
We stayed about an hour and Carter had a great time showing off to everyone (someone found a ball and Carter was entertained for the hour). Rylan was in a great mood too and showed everyone his dimples and adorable laugh (which I still haven't gotten a video of because every time I get the camera out, he stops). Carter even gave everyone great big hugs when we left.
After my office, we headed over to the American Museum of Science and Energy. We have a membership there but this was the first time I have used it there. I have used it at a bunch of other museums that are part of the reciprocal program to get in for free, but never at the AMSE.
The museum is a bit old and the cool part is the section outlining the history of Oak Ridge (which is not designed for kids). But there is a small science section that has some interactive exhibits. Rylan fell asleep after about 15 minutes and Carter ran around from exhibit to exhibit. We stayed about 45 minutes and it was a bit of a stretch to keep Carter entertained that long.
This was Carter's favorite. He liked trying to catch the balls ...
Since Carter was too small for this bike, he pedaled it with his hand ...
There is a very small children's section with a few puzzles and a 2' x 4' barn ...
This is the one picture I took of Rylan (in the UV light section) ...
Outside of the museum ...
After the museum, we stopped by the UT Arboretum so I could try to take a few pictures of Carter. It was extremely windy and overcast so not ideal conditions for pictures. But here are some of my favorites.
