In the early afternoon I took the kids to see Godspell Junior at the Oklahoma Children's Theatre. Those were some talented kids. And that's exactly what I'm trying to get Shelby into since she is such a character, but when I had her in acting class earlier in the year she didn't seem to take to it like I thought she would. Anyway, the kids really liked the show, and afterwards I let them play with the interactive exhibits presently on display at the City Arts Center.
By the late afternoon we were picking up where we left off on Monday, visiting the Martin Park Nature Center. The kids had a great time walking one of the nature trails, feeding the fish and turtles, and observing the prarie dog city. We'll have to do that more often. There are four trails, though we only had time for one of them (but it was the longest -- 1.25 miles). There's also a pretty cool interactive museum that the girls found fun. But there was so much that we didn't do for lack of time, so we'll be making more trips up that way.
I had planned to take them to the playground at Lake Hefner for a little as it was in between Martin Park and our evening destination, but they wanted to walk the trail there instead. We didn't walk all that far, and we did a lot of sitting, but when you count the two trail experiences of the day, I'm pretty certain we walked more than two miles today.
Our evening destiation was a friend's house for a small birthday gathering, followed by a couple hours of the game "Catch Phrase", while all the kids (6 in all) ran around playing dress-up and the like.
So it was a pretty full day all in all, meaning I should probably nap more tomorrow. I'm pretty tired.
