Discovery Center

On Monday my mom and I took the kids to the Discovery Center in Murfreesboro.  We also met Missy and Jen there with their kids.  The boys were having so much fun that we stayed 3 1/2 hours before heading home.  At that point they had really started slowing down but it still took until we were back in Franklin for them to pass out.

Putting "coal" into the wheelbarrows and moving it into the "cave" is always a favorite activity.

Carter's getting a lot stronger and was able to the scoop on his own this time.

The temporary exhibit was the same one that was at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville the last time we were there. It was the "Good For You: Healthy Fun on the Run" exhibit.

The kayak is my personal favorite.

Carter spent a long time at the cash register weighing vegetables and having people buy them.

Apple picking was fun.

As was vegetable collecting.

The boys got to pet a bearded dragon.

Shy and scared Rylan didn't hesitate and also petted it!

The boys put on all the firefighter equipment (including super heavy and huge boots).

Instead of digging, the boys decided to play drums.

Carter seems to have discovered a new possible career.

This was the second of many days of missed and short naps this week.  The boys are exhausted!  Rylan didn't even make it through our first book tonight at bedtime before putting his head down on the couch and snoring within a minute of doing so.
