The Things We Do For Our Kids ... Part 1

Despite the fact that I felt like crap and was running a low-grade fever, I managed to take Jack to go see Dora today. It has been on our calendar ever since moving here. There is this awesome children's museum here that was wiped out with the hurricane (it sits literally on the beach). But with a lot of local donations, they managed to reopen about a month ago. They still have to rebuild their kids performing arts building, but at least the main building is back.

And today was the day that Dora was coming to town. So we just had to go - fever and all. Jack had a total blast at the Discovery Center and we ended up spending 3 hours there after the Dora show playing on the climbing structure and the train, boat, and crane. And all that activity? No nap. I think naps are a thing of the past unfortunately.


Miss Dora herself with Boots. She had everybody go through a little adventure using the map from the backpack just like the show.

This is Jack's version of the Macarena. Yeah I know. The kid can't dance just like his mother.

They had this climbing structure there that was so cool. It had all these wavy carpeted things to climb all over and it was surrounded by this really strong netting type thing. It was made especially for toddlers and Jack absolutely loved it. In fact, he spent a good hour and a half inside that thing.
