The Iowa Children's Museum

The last Friday of every month at the mall is full of freebies! Free kids' meals, free carousel rides, and free entrance into the Iowa Children's Museum. Amanda, Nate, and Grace invited us to join them- Josh was camping so we loved having the company! Unfortunately, Rebekah had a really rough nap, so she was exhausted...we did our best to entertain her. This was my favorite part- the grocery store...Rebes was a little all over the place. She seemed the most intrigued by the Motion room- lots of fun ways to play with gravity, etc...I guess she takes after her dad, which explained her lack of interest in the grocery store. In other news, we have a car radio/cd player again!!!! Back in June, I left a light on in the minivan and the car died. As part of antitheft, the radio dies unless you have the code to reset it. Since we bought the van used and not certified, we didn't have the code to reset it. Anyway, those of you with great memories might remember that this was just after I jammed the key in the ignition and we had to spend $400 to get it out, so I was hesitant to spend even the $50 for labor to get the radio code (and, yes, I mean I was hesitant- Josh told me to get it done anytime). 4 months later, I caved- Rebekah is such a music lover that I had to give in. It was amazing having tunes again!
