We decided to celebrate the end of the summer (before school started) with a bang! During the first week of August, we took the kids to the Children's Museum.
The kids have always LOVED the Children's Museum. They could stay and play all day. I think their favorite exhibits are the FedEx Airplane and the Kroger Shopping Area.
The kids also have a good time in the water area.

They all love to catch the fish. Emmy is selective; only purple or pink fish make it in her net.

Emmy usually gets tylenol and a princess cake mix and one other item (they limit you to three items) every time she shops at the pretend Kroger.

The kids love the fact that a receipt prints out every time they shop.

Have I mentioned before that Ben LOVE lemons? Well, he does. He was excited when he found them in the store.

At the museum, they also have a fire truck, police car, and police motorcycle there. The kids love playing on them!

They have a dentist area as well at the museum. In the dentist area, they have a board for you to fill in your information. I love this picture below of how Emmy spelled her name and age (4 1/2).

We had a great time at the Children's Museum as a family.
After the Children's Museum, we went to Cici's Pizza for dinner. My kids love eating there. I think it is something due to the fact that the kids love pizza and Cici's has great desserts. Plus, it is a buffet, so the kids have many options of what they would like to eat.
On another day before school started, we went to Chuck E. Cheese. The kids always have a great time playing the games there.

On another day, we also went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 at the cheap theater. The kids loved it!
We loved being able to throw one last hurrah as a family before school started.
