A Process of Discovery

My dad and I took Walker and Charlie to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science today. It was Charlie's second time out in his new wheelchair.  I am so impressed with his stamina.  The poor kiddo blew through his nap and spent almost three hours surrounded by running children and loud voices and flashing lights. He looked, he touched, he interacted and I think he generally had a great time!  Walker LOVED the Perot Museum.  I'm glad because I picked up a family membership while I was there.

After our BIG day out, we enjoyed some fresh air in our front yard.  The weather is perfect and the mosquitoes aren't out yet.  We made the most of this beautiful day!
