This week we were supposed to be leaving to Germany for our summer trip. Due to the corona virus and much of the world being shut down, we were unable to go. We are super disappointed to not be there to celebrate Ragnar's parents 50th anniversary. We were really looking forward to going. We decided to at least go on a little outing and visit Daphne in Baton Rouge as a small getaway. We always enjoy visiting her and Cortex.
She had a lot of fun activities planned for us. We started by making a sprinkler water toy for Cortex and the kids to play in. Cavin was a great engineer in figuring out a design, the measurements, and then executing it.
He was excited to see if it worked.
Drilling was a boys dream!
It was a success and they had fun trying it out! Cortex wasn't as sure of it though.
Our next project was making bottle cars. The boys both made one and raced them.
Then we did marble art with shaving cream and their papers they made were pretty neat.
We also did Elephant Toothpaste!
It was a fun chemistry experiment.
It was fun to watch it explode.
We also put eggs in vinegar and waited a couple days and the shell dissolved and it was almost rubbery and the eggs would bounce until you dropped them from higher.
The boys were obviously excited about this one! Silly kids!
They also made a few different treats like fruit ice cream and a German dessert that Cavin loved. Then they made lava lamps.
These ones were my favorite ones to watch! So many fun activities that Daphne had for them and they loved it!
On Wednesday we decided to try and do an outing and went to New Orleans to Mardi Gras World. It was basically just us there, so it was not hard to social distance.
Pretty amazing how they construct all the decorations for the floats.
Each of the kids picked their favorite thing to take a picture by.
Naturally we were excited to see a German float in the making!
God bless Texas!
Deacon couldn't decide.
If only this hamburger was real!! So delicious!!
It was a fun outing and it started pouring before we walked to the car, so we got drenched. The kids thought that was the highlight of the day ;) haha
We watched a couple movies and the kids each took several turns trying out her new treadmill and loved that. Ragnar and I even went for a nice run.
Channing loves being with Daphne and enjoyed her yoga trapeze in her room!
We had to get beignets for breakfast one morning, and they are as delicious as always!
Channing took an early morning walk with Daphne and Cortex. We had a great time visiting and being with Daphne for a couple days. We wish we were all in Germany together, but we did the best we could!
