Baltimore

So I woke up this morning to a bunch of snow again. I was so grateful that we decided to drive to Baltimore yesterday. It was freezing cold, and since the Inner Harbor is basically downtown Baltimore you have to park and walk everywhere. It didn't help that the wind from the harbor about froze you anyways. But we hurried to Port Discovery, a child discovery place. It was three stories high and had tons of things to do. We didn't even get to see everything, basically because of this:

If you can't tell what it is, a three story high play place, with tons of different slides and exits and entrances. Towers and activities along the way. The kids played most of the time in there. It was beyond busy and I tried not to over stress about losing the three kids. You have to show your bracelet to get out with your parent, but still. After the kids became acquainted with things they knew where we were sitting and I didn't get as freaked out.

Lexie up in one of the net tunnels. I went one time with her and realized it was a tight fit in most places for adults.

Can you see her? Up in the highest tower what a brave girl.

The boys up in one of the upper alleys.

Lexie decided to stop and milk a cow along the way.

Mom and Lexie taking a breather to pose for the camera.

They also had this cowboy exhibit. You could try and lasso pretend sheep, or sit around a campfire and tell stories. There was also this bunking bronco and so we all got in on the action. If you notice Logan he is getting (to old) to goof around I guess. Mr. serious all of a sudden.

And of course who could pass up the hole in the wall with pictures to take. The Joker fit us all perfectly except Lexie who decided a queen was more appropriate. I finally got Logan to be a tad bit goofy.

They had a place called WaterWorks. Everything was water oriented. It was a mess and the older kids got basically completely wet. Hailey was content to sit in this infant seat right next to the activity pond and just chill. She was head banging the whole time which translates to a good time.

After we played for about four hours we were famished. Corey has had this fantasy about going to the ESPN zone. There was one right on the harbor and Corey was in heaven. What guy would not be happy with TV's everywhere with nothing but sports playing. We didn't get much conversation from Corey, but the rest of us had a good time. Logan LOVES football and sports. He is more of a junkie than Corey I think. He sat the whole time enthralled by the sports on the T.V. Logan has become a real talker lately and I was surprised at how quiet it was with him into the football game.

I had such a great time yesterday. Driving into a huge city like that can be overwhelming, but thanks to our Garmin I never get to scared. I have no idea what people did before GPS.
