The Land Of Oz

Last weekend we enjoyed a long visit from my sister and her family. The kids enjoyed playing together, the guys enjoyed watching NCAA basketball, and Livia & I enjoyed hanging out.
On Saturday while Brian & Lance roto-tilled the ground for my garden Livia & I took the kids to Crown Center for a Wizard of Oz exhibit. Stanton is a huge fan of "Oz" as he calls it and Aubrey has become quite fond of it as well over the past 6 months.
The kids enjoyed seeing all of the Wizard of Oz characters, listening to familiar Oz music, walking on the yellow brick road, pretending they were the wizard, sliding down slides & pretending they were floating off in the big balloon.
Abby flew down the slides located in the "forest" of the exhibit.
Stanton enjoyed pushing the button that created a mock tornado that shows the bad witch riding her bike through the air.
Aubrey waits her turn to slide down the slide.
The Crown Center candy store is located directly outside the exit of the Wizard of Oz exhibit so we had to go in and find some yummy treats to eat on the way home. Stanton was very excited to go in.
