Ice-skating.... and Science!!

Last Saturday morning, we woke up and discovered that Hayden's bearded dragon, Bowser had had an intestinal prolapse (yes... his intestines were hanging out of his body!)... Assuming this meant sudden death, we told Hayden that B had gotten sick and was going to have to go live on a lizard farm. He was absolutely crushed, so we decided to just go out and spoil him rotten that day. He has been asking me to take him ice-skating for quite a while, so we seized the opportunity to do that. I stayed off the ice for baby Garrett's safety :), so Curtis and Hayden went out on the ice and had a blast. Hayden got the hang of it very quickly, and they skated for almost 2 hours straight!









He looks so much like Curtis here!

Next, we took him to Toys R Us and let him pick out some new toys. Hey wait... aren't we supposed to be keeping our toy load to a minimum with the house being on the market? Oh well! He picked out a remote control truck...

...and a deluxe science kit. This kid has been all about "science" lately, and luckily his dad is a big ol' nerd who knows just the things to do to peak his curiosity. Here are a few pictures from a few weeks ago when Hayden and Curtis did experiments with Cokes and Mentos:


and here is a collage of them making slime from the kit.
