Tree House

Today was our last Tuesday play date with the Petersen's before school starts, so we headed over to the Treehouse for some good playtime. The've added a lot of new exhibits since the last time we went, so it was a pretty exciting trip. The kids got really into making sea serpants in the art garden which came out great. Avery's favorite exhibit was the fish tank again, where she saw Nemo, Gil, Dory, and Bubbles. She was a really good sport and got packed along at Oliver Speed through the whole place. Some of the new exhibits in the Treehouse feature life-size animals that move, and she wasn't really sure about these. It was a really good picture-taking opportunity because the kids got dressed up in make-believe clothing quite a bit too. Oliver said the cutest thing while playing on the fire engine with his friends and another boy. The other boy who was there playing had taken it upon himself to put the 5 year olds in charge as "bosses" because they were the oldest. Oliver told the boy he was the boss too, and when the boy disagreed with him because he was was only four, Oliver told him, "Well, I am really brave. When its dark, I don't even got scared, so I'm in charge too." And the boy didn't argue with it! He is too clever for words. Check out the vido at the end of the post for Oliver's puppet show.
