Whenever we take Eva and Jaden on a trip Matt and I always laugh because one of their favorite parts is always the hotel. ALWAYS. The kiddies love having their suitcases...swimming in the hotel pool...and all the other treats that come along with staying somewhere new!
We spent the first day at the Children's Museum. The children loved it. Here they are VERY busy in the Barbie exhibit answering Barbie's phones (actually Jaden looks like he is trying to figure out what it is - it doesn't look like any phone he has ever seen - it was rotary dial and had a cord - ha!)...
Mommy's favorite part of the exhibit...
Lights! Camera! Action!!
At the end of the day - at closing time - the museum holds a parade from the fourth floor down to ground level. You get to follow Rex the dinosaur, wave flags, and march to music. We got to the starting point nice and early so they could be first in line for the parade - right behind Rex!! They loved it...but Jaden reeeeallllllly loved it. He took his role very seriously - marching, waving, the whooooole deal. He is still talking about Rex!
The next day we headed to the zoo! 
My Cutie Patooties on the train ride! We also ALL went on the roller coaster...I think Eva and Jaden will be coaster lovers just like their Mama! Daddy on the other hand will be the one holding our bags and waving to us from the ground! Ha!
Heading back to the hotel after a fun day at the zoo...
That night Matt and I decided it would be fun to have dinner with the kiddies at the Eagles Nest. This restaurant sits high above the city and rotates around so you get a 360 degree view. The little ones were amazed...
My favorite picture...Eva looking at the Capital Building....
Afterwards we enjoyed a carriage ride through the city. Matt and I had to laugh when Jaden wanted to know if he could "drive the horse". After spending time with our Amish friends he has become quite good at it!
A wonderful weekend with the people I love most!
