The Academy

Our pass to the Academy expires at the end of the month. Sad. So, we've been going a lot this month. Yesterday Blake came with us. It's a lot more fun when Blake comes with us. He was finally able to take Max to the new moon show while Jack and I faced the humid heat to look at the butterflies. We will really, really miss the Academy.

Goodbye T-Rex.
Goodbye fishies.
Goodbye penguins.
Goodbye insect catching game.
Goodbye gorilla. (Jack loves this stuffed gorilla.)
Goodbye Children's Discovery Zone.
(Forever Max's favorite thing about the Academy was this puzzle. He loved this puzzle. Once I thought about getting it for him as a gift, but decided it's much more fun as a novelty at the Academy. You know, because there's nothing else to do there... :))Goodbye turtle that we love to climb on.
Goodbye Claude, you creepy looking alligator, you.
It's been so fun for me to take the boys to the Academy; especially when I started taking Jack while Max was at school. Max was more interested in playing in the Discovery Zone than looking at any of the exhibits. With Jack, he would just sit there forever, watching Claude do nothing or the fish swim around. I have really good memories at the Academy with family and friends. So, we'll see you Academy...unless some friends decide to take us with them (hint, hint).
