See, proof we do fun things.

We took advantage of the free transit day two weeks ago to ride light rail downtown and check out the Alice in Wonderland exhibit at the Children's Discovery Museum. The exhibit was only so-so but we had a good time. The train ride is always more of a hit than anything we do once we're there.







We accidentally discovered a free drumming class at our local library. We were there for our regular library trip and heard drumming coming from down the hallway. Ava opened up the door and we saw a handful of children drumming away. The instructor invited us to stay...and stay....and stay. Turns out the drum class lasts an hour. The kids had an amazing time and Ava went up to the instructor at the end and asked if they do this every week. Just for added clarification she then asked if they are there every week from 4:00-5:00pm. When he responded yes

she declared that we would be there the very next Thursday and every week after that. So we have gone pretty much weekly since then. Jillian isn't a huge fan but is warming up to it. Her favorite part is when they pretend to be a marching band and occasionally she shouts out that she is a rock star! Eli and Ava however are in heaven when there. I have never known an infant to sit for an hour and do anything but he is incredibly content to sit and bang away. I'm amazed sometimes at the hidden gems you sometimes stumble upon. Turns out the instructor is a librarian who
purchased the drums himself and teaches the class each week.

Free is good but a class with an instructor who loves what he does is even better.
