February brought another fun weekend trip, when we headed down to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs in the Portland area.
We got lucky with beautiful weather, so enjoyed spending a laid-back Sunday afternoon out in G-ma/G-pa's luscious yard! The kids even got to play with cousins which is always a big bonus!!
As is the custom when we visit, Grandpa took us all to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, http://www.omsi.edu) for a great day of hands-on exploration and fun.
Joseph being the Lego-maniac he is, loved the Legos and Lego table (and especially loved that Grandpa hung out with him while he made his creations). Mae had fun with the digi-pen. And the older boys (and actually Mae as well, although not shown in the picture) really enjoyed using the stop-motion animation station:).
Never knew old-school dominoes could be such a hit!
Of course there were a ton of other sections to check out as well, like interactive mind puzzles and water system machines, etc.
And so much to build with (definitely a paradise for most kids--Joseph included!!). Grandpa helped Mae put together this cube bridge. Of course, the best part was knocking it down!
This water-pressure station was pretty cool too! Build up the pressure, and watch the "rocket" fly!!
We could barely get these three to leave the green screen and health news room, they were having so much fun!!
And of course Joseph LOVED playing with all the water activities!!
What a great time. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful parents who have taught me many things (including the importance of family) and are truly amazing grandparents to my children!!
