Auburg Family Fun Days

Carl and I have been trying to do some fun and different things together as a family this summer. It is so fun for both of us to watch Presley experience something new for the first time, and all of the things we have done, she has loved! We took her to the Children's museum for the first time last month and she loved it! They have redone it and have this great area just for toddlers. She is still too young for the rest of the museum, but this is worth it!

she loved the slide and would try her hardest to climb back up

this little boy was like, "I'm outta here, this girl is crazy!!" and Presley is like "what??"

move outta the way I'm coming through!!

she absolutely loves tunnels! and would go back and fourth through this one.

she was so fascinated by the color wheel flowers, as you can tell she is yelling and making all kinds of noise as they spin! She was so happy :)

We discovered our child is kind of the "bully child" everytime another child would touch something she would want it, or rather take it, and if they let her have it and went for something else, then she wanted it too! We are really going to have to work on sharing!

Our little navigator..."where to next?"

they have a great outdoor section with water that kids can build boats, see how water works, and just get their hands wet. P was a little too small to reach it all by herself.

Because it was a Saturday, and SUPER crowded, they had a wonderful children's band playing and we stopped to listen and dance!

I could just squeeze her!! :)

Carl dared me to try...obviously I am not very good at it. Hand eye coordination is not my forte!!

enjoying lunch at one of our favorite places in Rice Village. We decided to sit outside, because Presley is always happier outdoors, and we were right. She did great and was fascinated by all the birds walking around.

Another place we have enjoyed and gone back many times, well at least P and I have, is Palm Beach at Moody Gardens. It is this great place at moody gardens that has the best of the beach and pool all in one. There are white sand beaches, a big pool perfect for kids, and area with small waterslides and climbing structures, and a splash pad. I love it because umbrellas and chairs are provided, there are clean bathrooms, and the prices aren't ridiculous! We ended up buying a season pass and it has already payed for itself. We have gone during the week with some of our friends and Presley just loves it.

playing in the sand for the first time. She only put it in her mouth once.

going down the slide with daddy

It looks like they are going down a super fast and dangerous slide by the look on Carl's and her face, haha. But it is really a kiddie slide :)

Carl teaching her how to blow bubbles in the water.

after she tried it.

She wore herself out, she was asleep before we even left the parking lot :) We have been having a great summer and have more fun planned so we will keep you posted. There is another new post below.
