I can’t even believe how long ago this was already. Mid-December…where did you go?

A friend and I took in the Phelps Youth Pavilion (in Waterloo, Iowa for the non-locals) in mid-December for her boy’s birthday. If you’ve never been, you must go. It is a wonderful way to let kids explore art and just have a ball. Ev was the youngest kid among the four, but there were still plenty of things for him to touch and explore, and he had a great time too!

Everybody gardening…minus Ev. I think he was dragging around a watering can at this point…

Yep,..there it is!

Ellie and T getting ready to explore the “cave” and use chalk to make cave drawings. They ultimately decided it was too scary…

Ev exploring the fruit market. This kid is really into food, can you tell?

and lastly, little L exploring China in the multicultural section. The noodles were made out of a rubbery string. She was trying to pick them up with the chopsticks. Seriously cute!

Wonderful day! Wonderful friends!

Four kids really kept us hopping though. We decided next time we may just bring one for each of us…maybe then we could explore some more too!
