Cleveland Childrens Museum

Posted by columbusdad on November 12, 2009

Cleveland Childrens Museum

We were up visiting the in-laws in Cleveland and Monday I took the boys to the Cleveland Childrens Museum. The museum is pretty small, but it was still pretty nice. The boys had a blast.Bone Man

The first Exhibit was about magic and they had a bunch of cool science and math activities for the boys to do.

Downstairs their was a mini town for them to play in with costumes for the boys to dress up in.

Mailman Heath

The boys also were excited about being on TV playing the role of the weatherman.

The only bummer was the water table. It was not fully functioning. The boys still had a lot of fun with it but it would have been cool if it were fully functioning.

Look Mom We're on TV

Coco Key Water Resort

CoCo Key Water Resort has an amazing deal going on right now.  If you get to the water park before 5pm on Monday-Thursday you can swim/play for free. The doors open at 3pm and they are usually open until 9pm although you should check their schedule. This offer is valid until the 19th!

We took the boys yesterday and they had a blast. The park is definetly aimed at kids with several play areas and lots of slides for them to play on. They have 3 big slides but you have to be 48″ to ride. Unfortunatly Cedric clocks in a t 47″ and even though I tried to spike up his hair to make him tall enough he didn’t make the cut and was bummed he didn’t get to ride.

For more information about heading for free check out their site.

Beware! The Tooth Fairy Cometh!

Posted by columbusdad on July 7, 2009

Cedric has had a loose tooth for about a week. It has really been bothering him. This past weekend we tried several times to take it out but no luck.

Then tonight while I was making dinner and he ran into the kitchen holding his tooth. He was so excited. He gave me a big gap tooth smile showing it off (the black around his eye is from pirate eye patch face paint that wont wash off).

Alissa made him a little pouch (my wife is crafty) and he put his tooth in and is sleeping on it waiting for the tooth fairy to come and give him some money.
