Around the House

Along with all of the fun we have been having around town we have been playing around at home.

Hunter loves science experiments so we made some exploding clay balls.  Hunter loved exploring what made these fizz and explode.

Cameron donned his safety goggles to help me trim trees.

We also made some pinecone bird feeders to put out in our trees.

If we get to the park early enough we still have a little time to play on all of the toys.  Hunter has been looking for new parks in the neighborhood to play at.

With the hot weather we thought a little ice would be fun.  We played around with frozen balloons and frozen water beads.  The boys had a great time splashing and playing around.

Hunter the artist has been doing some amazing coloring.

We had a campout in their fort.

These boys always love searching for bugs and love using their bug kits.

We made a cloud in a jar and watched the colors rain down. 

We had fun making these wacky picture collages. 

Cameron loves dressing up and is always putting on new costumes.  Here is his bat/cat/super hero costume.

Playing with colored oil ice.  We froze oil and food coloring and the boys loved the big bubbles it made in the water.

Then we had some fun with noodles and water beads.

I love these two little faces.  They are so cute and fun.   

Lastly we went down south to visit our cousins.  I only got a couple of pictures of the day but the boys keep asking to go back.
This summer has been fantastic.  I love coming up with new and different things to do with them and watching them explore and play.

Zoo Days

Despite the hot weather the boys still love going to the zoo.

 

 The boys really love looking at the snakes and lizards.

 They love pointing out exactly where they are and choosing which lizard represents every member of our family.

 The two of them together are so cute.

 I love these best friend brothers.

 Hanging out with their favorite animal the Komodo dragon.

 Checking out the birds and playing with the lizards.

Hanging with the cousins.
The zoo is one of our favorite places to hang out.  We cannot wait until the weather is a little cooler and we can keep exploring the zoo.

The Science Museum

The science museum had a new Egyptian Mummy Exhibit and Hunter has been waiting for weeks to go see the mummies. 

First we took a ride on an airplane.

Then we had some fun building with the boys.

Taking a slide down the large intestine.

Entering ancient Egypt.

Taking a ride on a camel.

Exploring the exhibit.  Hunter and Cameron got a chance to write their names in hieroglyphics and now they are hanging on their doors.  These two were so cute.  They loved looking at the mummy and sarcophagus. 

Building a pyramid.

Taking a walk in ancient Egypt.

Digging with daddy.

Playing with magnets.

The science center highlights different scientists and Hunter loved looking at the volcanologist exhibit.  He has been saying for a few months that he wants to be a volcanologist.  He wanted me to take pictures of everything so we could collect everything that he would need.
It was a great day at the science center.

Museum of Natural History

Hunter and Cameron always want to go to the dinosaur museum. 

Locked up in the jail.

Hanging out in their cell.

The boys put together this puzzle and were so proud of their mammoth.

Building a pot.
They have a great exploration station room that the boys absolutely love exploring.  They could spend hours playing around.

Fishing for fossils.

Building with magna blocks.  Cameron loves these blocks a ton.

Digging for fossils out in the heat.  Cameron was so excited to find a t-rex. 

Hunter the snake.

Surfing on the turtle

Hunter loved taking a picture with this dinosaur.  He thought for sure that everyone would think he had gone back in time. 
These two are so much fun.

Our last day we went to old town San Diego and checked out the Mormon Battalion.

 Cameron dressed up as a soldier.

 Pumping water.

 Making bricks in the oven.
