This weekend it finally started to warm up. About 45-55 degrees with some sun. Our big snow piles are starting to melt into oblivion. Hallelujah! Bring on the sun!
One night we decided to make our own dessert. We picked up some Flake bars and headed to McD's for soft serve. Our "99's" were delicious!
For our weekend fun we headed up to Baltimore to visit the Children's Museum. We had a tasty lunch at Shake Shack and then we played for several hours. The kids had a great time running through their 3 story climbing structure and playing restaurant. They also learned how to wash windows in the water play area. I think I will be putting these skills to use in the next few weeks.
We all had a good day, although we were exhausted by the time we got home. Everyone slept well that night.
Yesterday I chaperoned on Neil's field trip to the Planetarium at a local high school. We learned all about the planets, seasons, the sun, and the stars. It was pretty interesting and the kids had a great time.
When the kids came home from school this bird was sitting on our deck. It scared me at first. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it sure was pretty. It had big ol talons and a hooked beak. We watched it for a long time and it just stared right back at us. It liked to stand on just one leg. I wonder if he was keeping his other toes warm? I did see the other leg, so I know he wasn't injured or anything.

what a sweet children's museum! my kids would love that place! and what on earth is a flake bar? is this a copycat from a restaurant or something? either way, sounds like you're enjoying the break from the snow!
I'm right there with ya on being done with this snow!! Now if the rain would go away...it'd be nice. :) Did you know they have a shake shack at Tyson's Corner Center?? YES! So yummy!!! Hopefully the next few weeks will continue to be warm for us all. :)
A Flake is a delicious chocolate bar that is sold in Ireland and the UK. It is cadburys milk chocolate that is rippled and flakey. Super good. To make a "99" you simply put the chocolate into a cone. We ate those all the time when we were in Ireland. Tasty treat!
