			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know, I am late posting, but that&#8217;s how it goes with kiddos.  Do I think Casey had a nice mother&#8217;s day weekend.  It all started off with cleaning the house for her on Saturday, which obviously the heavens above were please with my cleaning as they blessed us with a beautiful rainbow that afternoon. <img src='http://www.ethanknepp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Casey and I enjoyed a movie later that evening, Blind side.  We both enjoyed it, check it out next time you are looking for something good.</p>
<p>Sunday, the kids got out their mother&#8217;s day card they made Casey, it was huge, like 1.5ft x 2 ft.  Funny how the kids area already realizing how different aspect of gifts get more reactions.  We then hurried and got everyone ready and went out for breakfast at the waffle shop on Atherton.  We knew there was going to be a line and we were prepared, snacks, toys, games, etc just to keep them entertained till we got to the table.  It was definitely the least pleasant trip to the waffle shop ever.  I know it was mother&#8217;s day, but taking like 25mins to get our food seemed a bit ridiculous.</p>
<p>We then went over to my grandmother&#8217;s house to visit.  We also took some flowers and a vase.  She enjoyed the flowers and got a kick out of watching Hailey and Tyler play.</p>
<p>Later that evening, I cooked Casey her dinner request for gluten-free Mac n Cheese with grilled rosemary balsamic vinegar chicken. And to finish off dinner I made a Cranberry Mint Martini (her new fav).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being winter time here, there isn&#8217;t really a lot to do in the winter for the kids (unless it snows).  So over the weekend we took a road trip down to Harrisburg to check out the <a href="http://www.statemuseumpa.org/" target="_self">State Museum&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.statemuseumpa.org/curiosity.html" target="_self">Curiosity Connection</a> for kids.  Curiosity Connection is a hands on play environment for kids ages 1-5 and their families.  Time slots of 1 hour throughout the day have been created to provide an equal play opportunity, so we planned on attending the 2:30-3:30pm one.</p>
<p>We arrived at downtown Harrisburg around 2pm and found street parking (is free on the weekends).  Walked to the museum, and got our tickets for the play session ($5/person), and didn&#8217;t have to wait to long until it was our turn to go in.<span id="more-426"></span></p>
<p>As you can see from the photos below, there were many different activities for the kids to play with; farm, factory, school zone, playroom/tunnel, forest, and legos.  It was a good time and I think the kids had fun.</p>
<p>Casey and I both feel that even though the Curiosity Connection was fun for our kids and closer to home, the <a href="http://www.handsonhouse.org/" target="_self">Lancaster Hands-On House</a> is still worth the drive (bigger, no time frame/session).</p>
<p>After our visit to the Curiosity Connection, we had dinner at <a href="http://www.carrabbas.com/" target="_self">Carrabas Italian Grill</a>.  We were definitely blessed, both kids ate there dinner while Casey and I got to finish ours in peace.  Score!</p>

After eating we went out side and ate red raspberries for dessert.  Tyler kept trying to eat the unripe ones, yuck!  Tyler also enjoyed running around my dad&#8217;s yard since it is fenced in.  Good times, happy birthday dad!</p>
