Detroit Outdoor Adventure Center

Have you been to the Detroit Outdoor Adventure Center?  If no, then plan to go soon!  It had a lot of fun and interactive exhibits for the kids and adults.  From the aquarium, to the flying model plane, the kids were excited to try all that was offered!  Watch the video to check out all the fun stuff at the Outdoor Adventure Center!

Sibling Food Challenge

The kids had a few days off school and wanted to have a sibling challenge.  They decided on a food challenge.  This involved them each eating a few foods while blindfolded to guess the food.  I prepared three plates with five spoons on each plate and then added a small amount of different food to each spoon.  They were so excited and had fun doing the challenge!  Melia won by guessing all 5 correct, and Bladen and Chloe had a tie with 4 correct answers.  You can watch the challenge below:

#NationalWaffleDay

Yesterday was #NationalWaffleDay.  I have been wanting a Mickey Mouse waffle maker and finally, I had a reason to buy it!   We had so much fun on our Disney Vacation, which was three years ago this week.  It is definitely time for another Disney vacation, but for now, we can eat Mickey Mouse waffles and look at our pictures!

If you want to treat yourself to some Mickey waffles, order the Classic Mickey waffle maker!

My babies are so little!!

Malibu Dolphins

We traveled to Las Vegas for Melia's dance nationals and after drove to California for a couple days.  It was the fastest tour of LA ever!  We managed to go to the Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Malibu.

We got up early and drove to Malibu since I read dolphins hang out at Surfrider Beach.  As we were driving along the Pacific Coast Highway, Melia spotted something in the water.  We were able to pull over and get out and they were dolphins!!  Such an amazing view to see the dolphins swimming in their natural home!   Watch below:

Field Day Fun

As the school year is almost over, that means lots of notes for year-end parties, art projects, concerts, and Field Day!  Melia and Bladen had their field day this week, and we discovered Bladen is quite good with the hula hoop!  He tied for 1st place in his class for the hula hoop event!  Melia has now asked that we buy two for home so she and Bladen can have a competition.  Her little brother is catching up to her in height, so she wants to make sure she can still have the hula hoop champion title.

Chloe will have her Field Day later this month.  So for now check out Melia with some inflatable donut wrestling and Bladen's hula hoop skills:

Bladen vs. Invisible Man

Bladen is always coming up with creative ways to entertain himself.  Whether he is a lizard sliding on the floor, or a ninja in a battle.  I love how creative he can be, but often wonder why we have a playroom full of toys.

Bladen was in a battle with the paper towel roll last night, before practicing some boxing.  You can watch him battle the Paper Ninja Towel here:
