It's been a while since Ben had seen him cousin Kenzo, so his mom and I decided to have a play date. It was agreed that the location would be the Chicago Children's Museum over at Navy Pier. I hadn't been there yet, and was curious to see what the place was like.

It was horribly busy at Navy Pier, which was no surprise, since it was a Saturday. Trully had both boys in tow, little Leonardo and "too cool for a stroller" Kenzo. Let me tell ya - if I ever have another kid, I don't think I'll be going out of the house again - EVER. Just watching her trying to handle both boys gave me a headache! How do people do it?

There was one point where she left to go to the bathroom and I was left with all the boys. Leo was no problem - he's still a wee one so he was going to stay in place in his baby seat. However, whenever I would spy Benjamin, I would lose Kenzo. Whenever I would find Kenzo, then Benjamin would magically disappear. I also had to make sure that both boys didn't grab toys away from the other kids, or, in Ben's case, get too close to unruly bigger kids.

It was still a fun day, the boys really had a great time. Especially in the water room, where they got to play around with water and boats. Ben was very serious as he was experiementing with the mini water fountains and what his hands would do to them. Kenzo, on the other hand, was a little more adventurous and got pretty soaked.

Here's some pics of the boys - I had been planning to bring my nice camera, but I had forgotten it at home so I used my phone camera.
