For the first time, we finally checked out “Makutu’s Island” – a giant indoor playground with an enormous jungle tree at the center. It is impossible to keep track of your kids in here, there are so many tunnels and walkways and nets and slides to different areas. We had to make sure Brendan was strong enough to handle himself among larger kids. It is really hard to see, but the boys are in the catwalk above the highest branch in the very top of this image.

We have to follow up a very active morning with the boys’ favorite lunch spot.

Brendan actually devours IKEA meatballs!

Taking a giant pail of army men to the local pond kept these boys busy for hours. Staging a beach invasion is a delicate setup.

There is a huge perk to having an annual membership to places like the science center. You can come in and just play in the one part that is your favorite and not worry about the pressure of seeing the rest of the place. The museum was super busy so we stayed in the foam blocks the whole time!
