Our 2nd Annual Trip with all the kids to the Washington Pavillion...

It was our second trip with both my sisters and all the kids to the Washington Pavillion in Sioux Falls to the children's science center. Last year, the kids seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, but this year it wasn't quite so successful. The two oldest kids, Zachary and Sam seemed to have fun, but the other three younger kids were touch and go. The water table area seemed to be a hit with all the kids, even Ava. However, she refused to wear the waterproof apron over her clothes, so she was soaked. We held her under the hot air dryer kicking and screaming so she was somewhat dry, but she had to live with a little dampness for a couple of hours. We only lasted at the museum for about an hour and a half, and then headed to Culver's for lunch. Then it was back to our house for naps. You just never know how well things are going to go over. We'll have to see how it goes next year...
