An Era is Ending

It has dawned on me the past few months that some of the activities I have done with Jacob over the past 5 years are coming to an end.  One of them is Story time.

Since Jacob was a baby I have taken him to the library nearly every week to pick out books.

Some of those weeks we have attended story time with Miss Lucy.  She is so good at what she does!

A few weeks ago it was our last time.  But about a week later they had a puppet show (those happen every so often) which Jacob loved.


The puppet show was at 1:15 p.m.

 and at 4 p.m. they had an activity for kids 6-11...mainly for those still in school during story time, but I knew Jacob would love this one.  It was about Super Heroes and practicing your Super Hero Powers.

It was so cute.  They made a mask and cape,

then they had to run a relay with "Kryptonite" and they couldn't let it touch the ground.

 After they did the limbo (Jacob doing a tuck and roll under the limbo rope.)
and lastly she had stations set up where they could do different activities to practices their super hero powers.  Jacob loved it.

We brought our friend James and here they are!

Another place that is ending is Discovery Gateway.  We went last week and Jacob (and his friend, another James) both had fun, but they will be growing out of it soon.

They enjoyed playing in the building area,

got on the horse,

 played in the store, went to the Bob the Builder exhibit,

 and went out to the helicopter.

They have added a "children's hospital" to the helicopter area where they can be at the admitting desk,

 do x-rays, and surgery.

 They can also bring a wounded patient in from the helicopter.  It is very well done and they boys had the most fun there.
