The Crayola Experience.

In order to ensure that our nephew and niece enjoyed their visit last weekend, Sean suggested that we do "The Crayola Experience". Everyone knows we don't have kiddos so just the fact that Sean knew this was in our area surprised me.

I asked my sisters if they would be interested and of course they were.

I did not think that Sean and I were going to have that great of a time (we were taking one for the team!) because let's be honest. We're childless and we just don't have any reason to do this sort of thing.

But let me just say that as soon as we walked in and we were given those tokens I felt like I was transported into my childhood.

There's play-dough and lots of it. I made lots of pizza and pretended to eat it. My niece saw the pretend pizza cutter and said "pizza!" so happily and it made me smile because it felt like such a city girl thing to do. You know how we're crazy about our pizza. And then when she said she wanted a gyro for dinner later that evening I could not stand it. What do you know about gyros?!

Do you remember when you did back to school shopping with your parents and they sometimes would decide to get you the crayons on sale. Not the Crayola, you know, the imitation crayons and then within the first week back those crayons would break. But Crayola crayons, no matter what you did they were solid and just better because they had so many colors.

We were able to make crayons and label them whatever we want. Sean made one that said, "Sean & Faith (our last name) ♥ . It was so neat. We made our own markers. We took photo booth pictures and were able to color ourselves. We created whatever we wanted on something that was sort of like a computer and whatever we created showed up on the screen. It was so fun to look for when it would finally appear and see everyone's reaction to it. We did stuff like, I ♥ my sisters, Happy Birthday Priscilla and we got mushy and did love notes to our guys and the guys to us. It was just so much fun and so relaxing and when it was time to leave we were shocked because the time flew. We actually had to leave because they were closing. That's how much fun we had.

Anyway, if you have a Crayola Experience in your area I highly recommend it. We'll have to go back (with our nieces and nephews, of course) because there was so much that we did not do. And let's just say that I cannot wait because we (the adults included) had way too much fun. Now if you'll excuse the excessive amount of pictures.

It feels like old times apologizing for having too many pictures in one post. I like it.

They were so into what they were doing.















You see that "I ♥ Brian" my sister did that for my brother in law :)

I told you we all got very much into it. Including me but it seems no one takes pictures except for me.


Yup, that's a picture of Sean and I that my nephew colored.

Yup, I feel the same way. I would not make a pretty blond.

All about the crayons.

We'll be back. Too bad we'll always have to use our nephews and nieces until we have our own bambino.
We can't be the couple that does this without kids because we're normal ;).
