Dora... Dora... Dora... the EXPLORER!

Move over Fireman Sam.... there is a new girl in town...DORA.

While I'm not a huge fan of the boys watching TV... lets face it, some times it is a life saver!  For so long Fireman Sam was the show of choice... and then there was George and umizoomie and dino train and the occasional backyardigan with a little super why or Mickey mouse clubhouse thrown in there.  Well now dora is the show of choice.... I keep wanting them to like Diego but they much prefer Dora!  They love baby jaguar though... and the way they say it makes me smile EVERYTIME they say it!

so.....

Nathan and Ben were more then pumped when we got the post card in the mail from the Children's Museum telling us that a new Dora the Explorer exhibit was open.  They were so excited when Gramma and Grumpy decided they wanted to join us at the museum too.  So a couple of weekends back to headed out to meat Dora!

The Children's Museum is so great and we have enjoyed it in so many ways over the last 3 years.  I always love watching the boys discover new adventures... plus it gives us the opportunity to hang out with our friends.  I hope that some day the boys look back with fond memories on all the fun thing they got to experience.  They are truly BLESSED!
