Christmas Break Activities

For the first time in our little family's history, Ryan took time off of work and we stayed home! And it was wonderful! We had 2 stomach bugs and 3 colds to recover from, which is much easier in your own home. On one of the first days back in full recovery, we took the kids to see the Jasmin Moran's Children Museum. They LOVED it!

They have a mini-world for the kids to play hands on in. One of the first sections we stopped in, is the Grocery Store. Brooklyn immediately grabbed a shopping cart, and began looking around the aisles for products!
Brenna was very excited to not only fill her cart, but check herself out. There was a cash register, with play money in it, and she loved figuring out how much money the total was with the cash in the register.

They also had a fire truck, a fireman's pole, the jackets and hats. Cannon, of course, loved playing on the truck!

And a little slide! Brooklyn was ready to go down the slide again!

There was a bubble station. I thought Ryan was producing an "Abyss" like bubble!
Brenna asked me to do some face painting. I thought it turned out pretty good!

Our little educators! They had a mini classroom, with little desks, chalkboards, maps, everything!

Paging Dr. Bushman and Dr. Bushman.

Doctor by day, car mechanic by night. The kids loved this hands on exhibit. You could change the filter, add some anti-freeze, and change the tires! This is one of my favorite pictures of Cannon!

Coming to you live, from Rockefeller Plaza is the nightly news, with Mrs. Brenna Bushman and Cannon Bushman for Sports. They even had a mini-broadcast studio with a camera and monitors you could see yourself on. The kids thought that was awesome!


She must be delivering some pretty serious stuff! I LOVE this picture of Brooklyn, because she is rarely this serious.


I guess this is the only picture of me! It is much safer being behind the camera. But I had to get a picture with my big girl. This was one of the highlights to the Christmas break. The kids had a blast, and it was fun to do something we don't do every day.

I loved the pictures. What a great city to provide their children with a wonderful learning opportunity that is so current. Brooklyn was absolutely adorable. She looked smarter than some "anchors". Brenna is as cute as her mother. Wow! Cannon's hair is sure short. His mind is such a sponge making the most out of learning opportunities. These children must take after their amazing grandmother C.
