When we came home from work the other day, Maile and Hannah treated us to a showing of the bunny song and related dance.

In case you have trouble following, the bunnies go to sleep and then they wake up and hop. Hard to believe something so simple could be so cute!

Exploring the Exploratorium

by Papa K on August 2, 2011

On Sunday, we took Maile to the Exploratorium. It’s a fun museum to go to – something for everyone. Chris and I learn science-y type stuff and Maile gets to touch, prod, pull and twist everything in sight. Oh, and did I mention there are bubbles!

Mommy is getting REALLY good with the new camera lens!

My best moment of the day - successfully putting my hand through the bubble wall. Blew Maile's mind!

Maile's best part of the day? Easily, the bubble table - she loved it!

This room was pretty cool - all monochromatic, but when you shined a flashlight you could see color - Maile found the blue house!

After the museum, we went out and explored the Palace of Fine Arts. Look at our little two year old!

On Saturday, I packed up my tools and headed over to Daddy’s new office to help him set it up. There were lots of desks and couches and chairs to build, but with my help (and especially Mommy’s) Daddy and his partners were able to set everything up. According to this video, it only took “1 minute”, but I could have sworn we were there longer…

The best part of the office? That’s easy. The tunnel, of course. What? Your daddy’s office doesn’t have a tunnel?

The tunnel was really long. I got lost a few times.

Hey! Who turned out the lights?

The tunnel was even big enough for Daddy to fit in!

(Dad note: Thanks to Maile Girl and Mommy for helping with the construction! My partner, Nate, did the time capture video above. Really cool setup – the camera basically follows a track and takes a picture every 5 seconds. Incredibly, Maile didn’t notice the huge dolly setup in the corner and didn’t bother it once!)
