Stewart Family Fun Day...

Today was Stewart family fun day...and boy was it F-U-N!!!

Here's how the day went...
We decided to go to the Children's Museum.  After a lot of fussing (by almost everyone) we finally got out the door at 11am.  As we turned on to the street to park near the museum, we saw that the whole block was closed, and was the finish line for a Breast Cancer Awareness walk.  This was actually highly entertaining because as we parked and walked we saw a bunch of guys in pink tutus...which was endlessly hilarious to the boys.

Did I mention that it was raining?

We arrived at the museum to find that it was CLOSED for renovations.   We hiked back to the car with the promise of finding something else "FUN" to do.  By this time it was 11:45am, so we headed to the Spaghetti Factory for lunch.  The kids surprised us by having excellent manners, and we all enjoyed the meal.

But, the most entertaining part of the day was when the following duo came in and sat down beside us.  The little boy (maybe 4-5 yrs old) came in carrying an iPad.  No case, no help, just him..and his $600 iPad.  Aaron's jaw dropped...if you know Aaron, you know he was HORRIFIED.   You would have thought he was witnessing a horrific crime in progress.   He said, "That's so irresponsible.  It's as bad as putting your kid in a car without a car seat."  Which made us both laugh out loud.  Then the dad pulled out his iPhone and the two happily ignored the world.  Aaron and I giggled like little girls as the boy got frustrated and beat on the iPad with his fist, smacked it a few times with a spoon, and drank his juice right over the top of it.  I don't know why we found this so funny, but we did.  I convinced Aaron to use his phone and take a picture, and it would have been convenient to know that his camera-phone has a flash.  The sudden burst of light made our undercover picture, not-so-undercover.  Which made us laugh even harder.

Just for the record, our kids were blissfully eating their spumoni and were completely oblivious to their parents horrible behavior.

Faces blurred, because, well this is the internet. 

We ended up going to a Lego exhibit, and then headed home for naps...for everyone.  It was a fun day.  Of course, any day that I'm with my kids and laughing with my husband is a GREAT day!
