Children's Museum

Last week we decided we needed to get out and do something on Wes and Braxton's day off. We noticed when we got here and were trying to do things, that the city of North Platte shuts down after Railfest (which was last weekend). The rides close, Cody Park closes, the go-carts and miniture golf are only open Saturday and everything else. So we decided to try the Childrens Museum. The kids loved it!! We were there for 2 hours and they didn't want to leave. We only touched the rooms a little bit and it seemed like a lot to do. I know there are lots of Childrens Museums and all of them are huge, but in North Platte this felt huge. We decided to splurge and by a season pass (which pays for itself in less than 3 times). I just wanted to show a few pictures of some of the things to do. (I loved the large Operation Game and Wes loved the wall size light bright- not pictured). Notice the nice rough looking kid with the bruises on his face, Marshall is still dong well but still climbing.

Employee day at railfest

I know that this was last week, but I still wanted to put these on. The kids had so much fun at Railfest Employee day. First we were given the largest hotdogs and hamburgers ever, chips, salad, beans and drinks. Then off to the games we went. Braxton and Katie went to play volleyball and if the ball landed on a shirt they won the shirt. Braxton did really well and got the ball over every time but missed the shirts, after a million tries he finally hit one. Katie on the other hand, not so good :) she would try really hard and then laugh. Finally we just picked her up and pulled down the net so that she couldn't miss. Then they went and got squirt guns, I am so mean though and wouldn't let them play. It was cloudy, breezy and only 60 degrees, so we just took all of our guns home for another day. Then Braxton went and played baseball and saw how fast of speed he could throw the ball. Then we all went and got our picture taken and they made us a bunch of magnets with our kids and family picture on them. Then the kids went and got ballon animals and sword, got their faces painted, and played in the jump house. Marshall loved the little kiddie one, he was the only one in it most of the time. Marshall loved all of the food. He ate most of his hot dog and chips, a snow cone, 2 bags of cotton candy and an ice cream. He was on the biggest sugar rush ever.
