after soccer we loaded up and headed downtown to an employee open house for a new building that was just completed at matt's hospital. the first activity was a photo booth with props. surprisingly, the kids were not into it - at all. but we gave it a whirl anyway. the volunteer had suggested that we might get a christmas card picture out of it, but i don't think so...
there was actually a lot for the kids to see and do, besides seeing the gorgeous building. we were even treated to a super yummy boxed lunch! we could choose veggie burgers, burgers, grilled chicken or pulled pork sliders and the box was filled with chips, a piece of fruit, a bottle of water and a frosted cookie. all wonderfully yummy! and a surprise that we would be fed so well.
they were really taken with the large bubble wand. manning was in total awe (he is our bubble boy). she wasn't quite far enough away for little hands not to pop them so it took a few tries for each different type she was trying to demonstrate. but she handled it really well and stayed positive.

| manning was also very excited about all of the balloon bundles. |

| the kids got a little crafty with some bug hats. |
then we went downstairs to see the ambulances or "mobile intensive care units." the inside of one was done out in a space theme and the other was an underwater theme. the kids were only impressed by the decor and the dvd player.
it was pretty cool to see all these emergency vehicles up close and reminds us how fortunate we are that this is the only way our children have seen the insides.

| the kids had already seen this new sculpture installation on facebook and thought it was neat to see it in person. |
as if the kids needed any more reasons to love coming to visit matt at work! love.
