Magic House

Allan and I took the girls plus Claire to the Magic House today. Hopefully, it is one of many fun activities we do as a family this summer. Of course, I took way too many pictures!

This is a neat sculpture made of old bike frames and forks.

D for Delaney

Claire was a pro at climbing on the Beanstalk. Harper wasn't too fond of it.

Building with super big blocks

I absolutely LOVE the exterior of the Magic House!

Good thing Delaney already knew how to drive a boat from the lake house. Claire lounges in the sun.

All of us

Delaney serves tea up in the Victorian attic.

It's not a trip to the Magic House without touching the static ball. Claire's hair is perfect for it!!

The girls weren't tall enough to reach the ball, so I had to hold them and act as the conduit. I felt like I was in a photoshoot with big fans!

Harper and Mommy

The water room

Delaney could have stayed here all day.

Yes, I do!

Harper would not walk away from the chalkboard until she had erased every last bit. "But I'm cleaning up", she would tell me when I tried to drag her away. Man, she is just like me!

She also loved going grocery shopping.

Claire makes an ice cream cone for Delaney.

Allan knew Craig would be so proud of Claire when she rolled under the car to fix it.

Delaney's turn

Harper and Claire take a fake pizza break.

Delaney checks out a library book.

All in all, it was a great day. The girls had so much fun! Lunch at Fuddrucker's was a little iffy because the girls were all tired, Delaney was not in the mood to eat burgers, and Harper almost re-busted open her head trying to climb over a wall!
