A visit from the Morgans!

Over fall break we had a visit from our good friends, the Morgans, from Crawfordsville. The kids were SOO excited for them to come visit since it had been a long time since they had seen them. We went to a small children's museum here in Columbus called The Kids Commons and then went across the street to the indoor playground.
They enjoyed learning a little more about Japan, the Indiana environment, looking at all the model trains, and the way physics affects a rolling ball. There was also a room that let you exercise in a fun way with video games using dancing and an exercise bike. There were a few other areas and a rock climbing wall, but we didn't do those. Luckily both babies fell asleep at the same time for a while! They could only handle so much fun.
I had always heard about the big toilet slide at the museum, but never quite knew WHY there was a big toilet, so now I do! They have this big house that talks all about how we get water from the ground and the cycle it goes through to get into and out of our houses. It also talks about the different types of lighting, insulation, etc. Very informative in a fun way! It was hilarious to see Callie's reaction when we put her and Evy in the toilet - she thought it was so funny!



The Bubble Room! It was so cool!


To end the fun day we headed back across the street to Zaharakos, the cool 1920s ice cream shoppe! We got a lot of looks from having all those kids and only two moms, and one not so nice comment, BUT the kids loved it and enjoyed some yummy ice cream! Both the babies were getting hungry, so we took turns going to the bathroom to feed them, which seemed to help them settle down a bit, but I have to admit, it was still a little crazy! :)

Thanks, Morgans, for coming down to visit us! We had so much fun seeing you all again!

We had a lot of fun! We definitely need to get together again when we have a little more time. I was waiting for you to post the toilet pics so I could post on my blog too. Do you mind if I steal a few pics and also link back here?
