Alex's 3rd Birthday: Adventure Science Center

For part two of Alex's birthday celebration, we took a trip to Nashville to visit the Adventure Science Museum.  The kids actually remember going there from last year and were so excited.  We loved watching them, now a year older, interact with all the exhibits.  They are so independent, curious, and silly. I just adore listening to their little discussions about what they see and hear.

This has become a tradition!  Click here to see our trip from last year for Alex's 2nd birthday.

"Brushing the glowing teeth" was by far Alex's favorite exhibit.  He asked to go back several times.

Yay!  It took some time, but we made the arch!

Deconstruction...

Outer Space dance party

This was Mimi's favorite exhibit.  We stayed here for a long time before she was ready to leave.

Mimi is checking the blood pressure and Alex is pushing fluids

Yup.  After a long day, they were cranky... to say the least.

Blue Tongues

When Jimmy serves dinner, the kids get a popsicle for finishing all their food.  I can't compete with that.

Alex's 3rd Birthday: Monster Jam

Our littlest Lehman was treated to a special evening with daddy at Monster Jam.  This was the first of three special events to help celebrate Alex's (gasp) third birthday.  Alex is obsessed with Monster trucks, so this event just added fuel to the fire.  He has been talking about it non stop ever since. 

Pure Excitement!!

Monster truck shirt, check.  Monster truck, check.

Cincinnati Chili

What is Cincinnati Chili?

Spaghetti topped with a watery chili

On our way home from The Great Wolf Lodge, we stopped in Cincinnati to try their world famous Cincinnati chili.  Jimmy and the kids loved it.  I hate chili, so just the smell made me feel sick, ha ha.

Great Wolf Lodge: Gifts!

Santa brought the scooters they asked for!!
