The Children's Museum

Last Friday we headed to the Children's Museum while the boys played golf. They had a new river/water/shipping exhibit that the boys really enjoyed. Ben just wanted to play in the port exhibit that has the cargo ship. But they also had fun in the architecture exhibit and bayou playground.

Cute...

CRAZY!

Balloon 'Art' Courtesy of the French Quarter

Last Thursday we headed down to the Quarter for the afternoon to see what there was to see. After some shopping at Anthropologie and lunch at Landry's, we walked around a bit. There was a balloon artist in the square who was more than happy to make a pirate sword and gun with a belt for Ben, but of course with his own little funny twist...He used flesh colored balloons for all three. Ben got a few strange looks walking down the street, but he didn't notice. He had no clue, which is good! Nick got a doggie bracelet.

But I Don't Have A Camera...

So I got a new camera and Adam got a new camera, so of course what am I going to hear next...'But I don't have a camera' from Ben. So I gave him my phone to take pictures. Thank goodness for digital pictures that basically free memory. If I had to use film with him, I'd be poor. He took 100 pictures in 3 minutes. I don't know where he gets that from.

He had to pick some of grandma's flowers for my hair.

Playing Cars Outside

After opening presents we headed outside to play with the remote control cars (and so I could play with my new camera). Ben loves this crazy remote control car and the school bus is slightly possessed if you don't remember to turn it off.

Santa Came!

Santa was very good to the boys this year! Ben got a purple ninja turtle and a Bumblebee transformer and Nick got a Cpt Hook hideout and Jake computer among many other things. They got games and remote control cars and mini cornhole and a play parachute, just to name a few.

My Little Camera Family

This Christmas saw a new addition to our little family. A new camera!! I got a new Canon 6d, full frame camera. It is the big guy on the far left. Then comes my little t3i, then my G9, then Adam's new SX330 and of course the iphone. I think I pretty much have the full range of camera bodies covered (except a mirrorless 4/3, but the G9 is about the same), but I'm not sure you can ever have enough lenses ;) But don't tell Adam that!
