Cool in the shade

Brian wants to make sure that we aren't just parents who sit on the couch and watch TV with Matthew. He wants to do things as a family and make memories. So along with our fun in the sun, I have voted for some indoor fun as well - like a trip to the science museum or a visit to Jumping Jax.

The older I get, the less I seem to be able to tolerate the heat. Matthew likes the science museum for the most part. A lot of the exhibits are a little too old for him. He can't really appreciate a blue whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling or the giant shark jaws. But he does enjoy the fish and dinosaur exhibit (I am beginning to notice a pattern with him). He liked the walk through the butterfly area and looking at the snakes as well.

While Jumping Jax is an indoor play area so has AC, it definitely requires some energy. We have to run around to keep up with Matthew so we work up a sweat. Especially Brian who climbs up in all the jungle gym equipment to play (he loves it as much as Matthew). I walk really fast trying to capture photos.
