Bridget and Natalie joined Jay, Holden, and I for a fun Kids' Exposition out at the Interstate Center on a recent Saturday. Jay had a rare Saturday off and it was nice to get out of the house and do something as Illinois' winter continues to drag on.
There was a little McDonald's all set up like a real restaurant with cash registers, food, and a drive-thru. It was Holden and Natalie's favorite exhibit of the day, and we went back numerous times to play in it.
Natty and her mommy.
How hysterical is Holden's expression here?? He wasn't sure about the foamy stuff we were playing with!
What a difference a few months makes: Holden now ADORES characters! Woo hoo! Disney is in our future...I was getting worried for awhile there. :) This is "Corny," the mascot for our town's new baseball team coming this summer. Holden loved his kush-ball nose, and giving him high-fives.
There was a kids' excersize equipment expo set up. Holden thought it was so cool that everything was just his size! We spent a lot of time there.
Holden was thrilled to spot Elmo towards the end of our visit! He sat right in his lap and I think would have stayed there all day if I had let him. Natalie liked seeing Elmo, but freaked out at the prospect of sitting on his lap. Bridget said she had her in a death grip! :)
Nothin' like some grape soda out of the can.
"I'll take some french fries, please."
Goofing around on the way home. Jay will hold his hand out for a high five, and then pull it away and say, "Too slow!" Holden was doing this to me with a dollar bill and thought it was quite amusing. "Too slow, Mommy!"
