SANDstruction at Cleveland's Children Museum

Beach duds and sandcastles in the dead of winter? Heck yeah! We're heading to SANDstruction at Cleveland's Children Museum.

Before we head out, the Bear shares his coat with Ralphie. Ralphie loves it. Clearly.

Bryson sports his alligator swim trunks and surf shirt.

And of course a construction hat. It is a work site after all.

Time to hit the sand.

Mommy tries to cover B's dedos de los pies.

Dump truck.

Even better, a digger.

Mr. Bear is impressed with its efficiency.

It would probably help with building one of these bad boys.

Peek-a-boo.

Bryson rewards Nana with a pat on the back.

Daddy's turn.

Finally the Bear makes his debut. He then repeats his tunnel exercise a few more times. Like fifteen.

Dancing Bear.

Proud to be an American

Lolo would be proud of the Bear's house building skills. He is learning what a wrench is and right before I took this picture, he was using the roller brush to paint the house.

Sorting through the bricks.

Where to go after the sand? How about the water.

The Bear meets a beluga whale.

The Bear then introduces the beluga to a shark. What do they do? Kiss, of course.

Mr. Bear then plays with a waterplane. Which for the record the Bear has ridden in the Maldives being the worldly Bear that he is.

Time for shopping. Mr. Bear immediately grabs plastic wrap.

He also grabs lactaid, orange juice, granola bars, matzo balls, and basmati chicken. With exception of the chicken, Daddy gives a thumbs up.

Very official looking.

Daddy checks out with the Bear at the register.
 

The Bear on the phone. Daddy asks if his girlfriend from India is calling.

The Bear at the buttons.

After shopping, we then head to the nursery. Daddy tries to encourage the Bear to rock the baby and burp him. The Bear rolls his eyes and continues pushing his cars around.

On to the farm. Checking out the barn.

After all that, what is a Bear to do?
