Beatin' the Heat

Yesterday we visited the botanical gardens in Charlotte. We wanted to see an African sculpture exhibit that is leaving soon.

This time Josh got to come with us. His favorite part is learning the names of everything. This is a Giant Corpse Flower. When it blooms, it's smells like rotting flesh!

Joyce and I took the kids to the Catawba Science Center in Hickory, NC on Friday.

We got in FREE with our pass, of course.

Jackson's favorite area had tons of bones and fossils. He was giddy.

Saturday play day with friends. Addy's friend Skylar lives in our neighborhood.

Two weekends ago we went to SciWorks in Winston Salem.

We had our first famly planetarium experience.

The museum was the most hands on place we've visited so the kids loved it.

Still hoping for another dentist in the family.

Josh's bees have arrived! I still can't help but laugh when he puts on his bee keeper gear.
