We went to Paradise Park today and we FINALLY got to go outside. This is the third time we have been there, but the first time it has been warm enough to actually go outside. As usual, the boys had a blast.

I got brave today and took the boys to the Nelson. There was fear and trepidation on the faces of the people who work there when they saw us walk through the doors, but the boys did pretty well. It was not a leisurely stroll through the gallery admiring all of the fine artwork while reading all of the plaques that tell all of the pertinent info, but it was still a nice little adventure. One docent asked Colm not to walk on a platform what was holding a statue, but no real harm was done. I think the worst we did was that Colm turned out the lights in one room and I couldn’t figure out how to turn them back on. Oops! The best part was Colm looking at a statue sans loincloth and asking where his diaper was. In the car home I asked them what their favorite parts were. Liam’s response was the shuttlecocks and Colm’s favorite part was riding the elevators. I would like to take them back again, only one at a time. There were too many things they each wanted to see, but they both wanted to go in different directions. It got to be a little frustrating towards the end. After all of that culture we then took a requisite trip to Winstead’s to fill up on french fries, onion rings and chocolate milkshakes.
