Well we took family photos today. This was the best shot we could get. Having nine little kids under the age of six makes things very difficult to get organize! But we managed and this one really isn't bad!
After the pictures some of my family went up to the new Ikea (a home furnishing place) in Portland. We went to a yummy restaurant called Noodles for lunch. You can order all sorts of types of noodles from around the world. Very tastey! Then off to Ikea... and oh my word was it packed! It opened a month ago, so we thought we were okay... we were wrong! The place was a mad house. You would have thought the entire city of Corvallis and then some were inside that store! The chaos and cramped people made all of us a little edgy. But we managed, and decided to return again sometime in March on a random Tuesday at 10am when no one else is there!
From there we went to OMSI. They have a Body Worlds exhibit where they use plastination to preserve the body in whole. You can see muscle, skin, bones, blood vessels, nerves, you name it! We even saw a camel! It was amazing. We then explored the rest of OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), and Levi loved the kids area they had. He played in the water like he had never seen it before. He also got his face painted with a spider! So cute! Then he mellowed out while we walked through other exhibits, and he passed out asleep on the drive home. Justin and I enjoyed the whole thing, and we went and sat in a mock space shuttle, that's our upside down picture. Justin had never been to OMSI, so he had a blast!

When we got home we gave Levi a bath, and Justin styled his hair... this is the result!
It was a long day, but definitely enjoyable!

That looks fun. I had no idea OMSI had stuff for little ones Levi's age. Sounds like I'll have to hold off on going to Ikea for a while. That body display would just gross me out. I like guts to stay inside the skin, thank you very much! I'm not good with blood, either --not at all!
