What GREAT friends

The children and I had a GREAT play date yesterday with Janine & Lila! I gathered up all of my little Mayeaux's for a surprise adventure! Along the way, I gave the girls "clues" about where our surprise location was & clues to the identity of our surprise guests! They had so much fun with this! Emma said "Momma this is a GREAT Mystery"..."Just like Scooby Doo"! "Me & Ava are the mystery team"!LOL They had a blast!Just as we pulled into our surprise location...so did our surprise guests! It worked our quite nicely for my game!LOL
Our play date location was The Louisiana Children's Museum! The kids were so excited to see Janine (aka..Dr. J) and Lila! So off we went to explore this uncharted territory! The Museum , although nice...is not quite what I had in mind. Most of the exhibits are geared for older children...so one day it will be nice to visit again when the children are actually able to understand what the exhibit is referring to! And quite frankly I wasn't very thrilled with all of the "hands on" stuff! I'm usually not a germ-a-phobia type momma but.....Ray pretty much tried to put his mouth around every piece of pretend food in the cafe or the little grocery store. Not to mention the digging in the bubble mess!I have a feeling we will be seeing Janine next week ...not for a play date but a doctor visit!LOL For those of you who do not know, Janine is not only a great friend but she is also our children's pediatrician! Between she and I we did try to clean them up along the way!LOL
Overall the children and Janine and I had a wonderful time ! The Children enjoyed each others company as well! Ray absolutely LOVED the Mr. Rogers exhibit! I Literally had to carry him away from that. LOL Ava Loved the story time. The book that was read was one of The Wizard Of Oz stories featuring TOTO! So it was worth the price of admission for her just to be read to about The Wizard Of Oz...her favorite movie! Emma enjoyed herself throughout the museum! Upon Leaving the museum I could see that I had three very tired little Mayeaux's on my hands! All three were asleep before I got to the interstate to head back home!!!QUIET drive back home!!
Thank you Janine & Lila for a wonderful play date!!We had so much fun with you guys!!!
