a quick trip...

My cutest little sister had her second baby a couple weeks ago, so Aiden and I took off the first chance we had to go see him. He's darling, by the way, but I took absolutely NO pictures of him. We just hung out, played with Aiden and Chase, and held that cute baby. It was the best two days! The last day we were there, my mom, dad and I took Aiden and Chase to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake. We used to go to the Children's museum when we were little, and it was always so much fun. I was so excited to take Aiden there, and especially since they've since moved locations and updated all their stuff, I knew the little boys would just love it! (And I secretly wanted to get a little shopping cart and push it around the little store and pretend buy stuff!! Sadly, Aiden wanted nothing to do with the pretend grocery store :(

We were right about the boys loving it though, we could have spent all day there. After we were there for quite a while, we had to rip the boys (kicking and screaming) away from the first little exhibit so we could show them the rest of the museum

Aiden LOVES music

Of course, when we got to the play kitchen Aiden went right in and made himself at home. He sat there and washed the dishes, cooked stuff on the stove, and put food in the oven. He was so cute and was having so much fun...then he saw the construction zone, and he was hooked. That's pretty much where we stayed for the rest of the day.

He waited patiently for his turn to run the big crane, and while he was waiting for it to open up, the smaller crane became available to play with, so he operated that one for a while.

The cool kids wear their hard-hat backwards.

Sorry, Kimbrey, I got no pictures of your cute little guy, because the two little boys were almost never in the same place at the same time.

He concentrated very hard on his imaginary job. He took it very seriously, and wouldn't leave until he was done.

And finally, the big crane became available, so Aiden camped out on it for quite a while. He's not wearing the cute little construction worker vest and hat, because a nasty little girl stole them right off of him! She is now my sworn enemy.

He finally got his little outfit back when snotty girl left to go somewhere else.

Now, I really thought the big life sized helicopter would be the highlight of the museum trip, but that was their least favorite part of the day. They couldn't wait to get away from the helicopter and go back to their fun games. We could not get either boy to sit in the front seat to "fly" the thing, especially when it sounded like it was going to fly away. It was such a fun day anyway, I just wish we had had more time to spend there.
