Boy's Weekend in Waco

Last weekend Ethan and I joined Uncles Kevin and Keith in Waco for one last "boy's weekend" before a little girl joins the family. We had a fun-filled, busy weekend!

First, on Sunday we went to the Mayborn Children's Museum to play around. They had a special exhibit featuring castle Legos. They had all kinds of things on display, as well as things to play with. For example, they had this life-size knight out built entirely in Lego:


Keith sat down with Ethan to help build a little hedge maze near another castle:


In another area, they had a jousting game set up. Ethan like swinging the "lances" like a bat to whack the targets.



There were dress-up clothes and even more tables to build your own castle:


But there was a whole lot more to do outside of the Lego exhibit. There was a music room, a pioneer room, a human body room, an optical illusion room, a magnet room, and a water room (sound like the Mover's Idea Warehouse). Here, Kevin sat down with Ethan to work on a train track:


After a nap, we went to the pool and then out to dinner. When we called ahead for our pizza at Rosatti's, we didn't realize that they had reserved a whole table for us - we felt important!



Then after some pizza to give us some energy, it was off to the putt-putt course! Ethan came prepared and brought his own club (thanks, Uncle Keith!)



Uncle Kevin tallied up the scores while we waited to ride on the train. Uncle Kevin won, but just by a stroke!


It was a great weekend with some wonderful quality time. Thanks, guys! We'll see you when your neice arrives!
