Ni Hao Y'all

It's a place where kids can explore all sorts of career options while running wild.

I need to remember to just grab the moments and not worry about the perfect shot.

This is the stuff life is made of!

Have a wonderful week.

Oh, but I think you did a marvelous job at grabbing those sweet and joyful moments of pure bliss and playful activity!

I smiled throughout this entire post and could have and would have peeked at another dozen or so of your pretties playing with their buddies!

D looked very natural sitting behind the teacher's desk and I see riding lesson for M in the future!!!

So glad you made THE most of a dreary day!!!

XOXO

Hello Friend! Hope you are doing well. I am trying to get back to blogging and check on all you girls. That place looks FUN! I love little shopping carts (we call them buggies ;) The pics are too cute! All these kiddos are growing up right before our eyes! Have a great day!

Oh this is super adorable!!! And I love the kid size cashier register :) I loved playing with toy registers as a kid. Somehow when you're five, it seems a lot cooler than when you're 25 ;o)

These are adorable and I can tell the girls had a blast. Love the ones in the classroom and of miss M singing!

We have a Children's Museum that has just moved to a new location, now you've inspired me to get out and take mine there soon. :)

I love it so much Wanda! What a wonderfully fun day! Lots of happiness and smiles to be found. We have one in the city and we just love it.

It looks like the girls are super happy. You know, truth be told, when a Mom posts pictures of a day out to a place such as this and they are all magazine or gallery worthy, it kind of makes the mom go down a notch in my book. I mean, really, who cares about perfect pictures when you are a place like this. Just capture the happiness and the childhood. It is so fleeting. You always do a great job when you shoot. You capture perfect smiles and perfect heart. I think you are amazing.

Wanda! I had to come back and tell my Kindergartner, Alex, is going on a field trip Friday to a place called INK. It is a Children's Museum and now I am wondering if it is a chain or just the same concept. Pretty crazy, huh?

Julie said...

My kids always have a blast there! Great photos.

Mahmee said...

I love that little classroom. R would go nuts in there playing teacher.
Milana's hair is getting so long. Wow!
Hope all is well!

Love these Wanda. I wish we had a museum like that here. Looks like the girls had such a wonderful time. I think the ones of M. singing are a hoot!

Hope you're enjoying your week so far.

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
