July Pre-school Outings

This month we had some great activities. The first on was a backyard pool party on the 5th and after our crazy busy Monday, I was too exhausted to venture out. So we skipped it. But the next 3 we were there and we had a blast!

The Second week the kids had a tour of Maceys! I was not quick with my camera so I missed a lot of great shots, but oh well. First they took a group shot and developed the picture for us and each child got to take one home. Then they took us to the Deli and gave all the kids ice-cream. Then we went to the Bakery where the kids got to see how they decorate cakes and they gave us cookies too! Then it was off to the Butcher to see how they cut and package meat. They also got to walk into the HUGE refrigerator and Freezer. My kids were too scared to go into the freezer. Then it was upstairs to the employee Break room where they got to look out the cool Mirror windows! Then it ended with Balloons and goody bags! You would never think that a tour of a Grocery Store would be fun, but it really was! The kids loved seeing how it all worked!

Goody Bags

The third week we did something that we did last year. The Gateway Children's Discovery Museum! This was soo fun last year and soooo cheap, that we had to do it again!

Abby enjoyed the Horse again this year!

Abby participated in a painting class! (I couldn't pull Benji away from all the fun however)

Benjamin spent most of his time in the same places as last year!
The Grocery Store

And the Ball Contraption

He did however also enjoy "pumping" gas (He has been fascinated lately with how we put gas in the car, at the gas station)

They also spent some time at the construction site

Upstairs they had a few fun things as well, like this huge music thing! Check out the Video at the bottom for how it works and my kids awesome dance skills ;)

And of course the Helicopter!

Abby also loved the little Grocery Store!

Getting a Sandwich at the Deli

After the Grocery Store she was off to the little house where she was busy in the kitchen

Doing a little ironing

And finally sitting down for lunch!

When it was time to leave I couldn't find her and I found her hiding out in the Birdhouse playing "Mommy" there as well.

Some of us Mommies that were there

The last week we went Bowling! My kids LOVE Bowling! We got a great group rate! It was super fun!

Benjamin and Abby decided that this was a much better view of the pins! See the Video of how the would throw the ball and then run down and give it a little push at the end!

I just love our pre-school activities!
