Edventure Children's Museum

Today we went to Edventure Children's Museum in Columbia, SC with some of our friends. Grant had a blast!
By the end of the day we were all exhausted and I was very thankful to be home resting with my boy. We are going to have to go back when Eric gets home!


Wearing the fireman gear that I could actually put on him without him pitching a fit!


Driving the truck!


Learning how gears work


This is what he does now when he says "cheese!"


He thinks he is tough stuff sitting on this big tractor wheel!





With his best bud, McGregor.


A boys dream!


Admiring a butterfly


Before we entered the pavilion, we were told how the butterflies are delicate and we CANNOT touch them. Two seconds after I snatched this picture, Grant grabbed this butterfly by both wings and I had to pry it out of his hand while getting a death look from the butterfly lady! Not quite sure if that thing survived the next few minutes... :-/


...he's still cute...




A little grocery store for the kiddies. Grant is stocking up on fruit cocktail and chicken broth!


...and potatoes...


...his favorite cereal, cucumbers....


...and oatmeal...


I felt like we were contestants on the Supermarket Sweep...I kept getting the urge to yell, "Get the ham!"...but knew no one else would find it funny.


Paying for his goodies. This turned into a throwing game, as (of course) this kid thought the potatoes were balls. (poor girl who was playing cashier)




Because he "mastered" the shopping cart, he now feels he can push his own stroller and if I tried to help, I was told "no mom."


Who needs a net? My little man catches fish with his bare hands!!!


Grant the Sailor Man!


Mouth-full-of-crackers




We made a fairly quick stop in Africa to dance with a local band. Note: Grant and I are both doing the same dance! How did that happen??


Delivering a load of chickens!


We even got to ride a camel!!

And the summer is over.

Its been a while since I have written a blog, but I figured since Grant is getting older and as we move on to our next adventure in Maryland, I would try to start this thing up again.

Today Grant had his first four wheeler expereince with his best buddy, McGregor. It took him a while to figure out how to push down on the pedal, but once he figured it out, he was unstoppable! I'm thinking maybe one of these battery operated cars will be purchased (or brought by Santa) by the end of the year.








Tomorrow we are headed to Columbia with some friends to visit the EdVenture Children's Museum!

Life is good!!
