Gilbert House

We went to the Gilbert House with Maddie and Auntie Sarah this weekend.

Ben tried milking a cow and picking vegetables.

We had fantastic tea party. Ben served us all "hot tea and moo moos (noodles)".




The grocery shopping was a hit.

He had his thinking tounge out as he filled his cart.


He loved checking out his groceries, but couldn't reach the cash register or scale.

Why does a place designed for children not have any stools?



We knew Ben would love the Bubble Room so we saved it for last.

He made a bubble wall

and almost stood still long enough to make a big bubble all the way around his body.

Addilyn enjoyed this room too!

The highlight of the Bubble Room, however, was the automatic sink


and the doo-dyer (blow dryer) on the wall.
Daddy had to pull him out kicking and screaming, "Doo-dyer. Doo-dyer."


And then he found
the

playground!He went down every slide at least five times!


I had just read an article about the static from plastic slides wiping out the MAPs on kids implants. We hesitated for about 4 seconds and sent him on down. We have back ups for a reason :)

No problems and he had a blast!

Even all by himself!

This playground even had a truck for Ben to drive.
He said, "Ben driving. Wan ice cream cone."

So we went to get ice cream. A perfect way to end a fun day.



About that time Addilyn woke up.
