Martians and Dora

This weekend was all about the kids. Friday was Todd and Dylan's shared birthday, which we spent at Mars 2112. It's not a place I'd rush back to (the food was gross!) but the kids had a lot of fun. There is definitely a theme park atmosphere there, and it was fun to see them so jazzed each time one of the alien characters made their way around the floor. Sofia was funny: she was completely shy the first time the pretty girl alien (cleverly named Q-T-Pi) came around, but by the time we left the restaurant, the two of them were BFFs.

Today Todd and I took Sofia to the Children's Museum, which isn't so much a museum as it is a fun place to wear kids out. Sofia loved that an entire floor was dedicated to Dora and Diego, and she really enjoyed the rest of the place, too. The funniest part was toward the end of the day when I noticed a dad sitting slumped against one of the walls, totally asleep. A few minutes later, Todd noticed another father doing the same thing on the other side of the room. The museum is apparently a great place to wear parents out, too!
