FIREFIGHTING MUSEUM

To say that Dylan likes fire trucks is a gross understatement.  They are quite possibly his favorite thing.  So, this weekend, we took him to a firefighting museum.  They have a number of firefighting items on display dating back to 1725.  In addition to the historical items, they have a 1951 fire truck that kids can explore as well as an area for children to play and learn about fire safety.  We happened to be there the day of a special event and pretty much had the museum to ourselves.  Dylan had so much fun and has been asking to go back already!

How cool is some of this historic gear?  Leather hats and buckets.  They had a really cool leather and metal fire hose as well.  The carriages and sleds they used were pretty amazing and so beautiful.

Dylan loved the children’s exhibit where you learn about fire safety, can drive a child size historic fire truck and dress up as a firefighter.  Alexis got in on the action too, she makes a pretty cute firefighter.

THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

Saturday morning we took the kids to our local children’s museum and had so much fun!  I had never been before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.  Dylan had so much fun at all of the exhibits.  His favorite was the 3 story climbing ‘tree’.  We probably spent an hour just at the tree.  In addition to being fun to climb, it was such a cool structure – I loved the flying bathtub!  They also had plenty to do for Alexis, each exhibit had a baby area for her to stay entertained.  We had such a good time! I can’t wait to go back!

I couldn’t get a good picture of even most of the climbing tree, but here are a few cool parts:

This was his second favorite spot was the exhibit with a bunch of different cars and motorcycle.  He loved the pencil because it had a spot for Alexis to ride with him.

SUMMER STYLES FOR BOYS

This post contains affiliate links.  That means if you click on a link and make a purchase from the site, I will earn a small commission from the sale.

Summer officially begins in just a few weeks, but with the heat, it seems like summer has been here for awhile already!  I started shopping for Dylan’s summer clothes and thought I would share some of my favorites.  This winter, he wanted to dress himself and he wore a dog shirt 90% of the time.  So far this spring, he has been open to more options, so I hope with some fun graphic tee’s and keeping it comfy, he will continue to let me help.  Oh, and I hid the dog shirt.  Looking for some options for the sweet girl in your life? Check out Lisa’s picks for her daughter over at Adie’s Corner.

  1. Love this polo for something nicer than a t-shirt.  I am thinking about it for some family photos. Gap
  2. I love Dyl in a tank.  He has a couple and he always looks so cute.  Paired with his swim trunks, great for the pool or the beach. Gap
  3. I love the new Gap surf graphic tee’s.  Gap
  4. Slightly embarrassing, but this is the third summer we have bought these shorts.  Dylan loves them & they look nice too. Old Navy
  5. I love these striped swim trunks.  Paired with the tank or graphic tee, so cute for the pool. Gap
  6. I recently bought the bright blue shorts and love them!! Old Navy
  7. Dylan loves cars and trucks, but especially fire trucks, so when I see one on a cute t-shirt, I grab it for him. Gap
  8. He loves his crocs and he can put them on himself, so I continue to buy them.  These Mickey ones cuter than I imagined they would be in the store. His are red. Crocs
  9. Another one of the new surf tee’s at Gap.  Gap
