A Day at the Museum

Today, after MONTHS and MONTHS of begging me relentlessly, I finally took the kids to the local children's museum in our town. It had been a long time since we had been, and now that Emily is five, I thought she could climb the rock wall! She was so excited! Turns out, not only do you need to be at least 5-years-old, you need to be at least 44 inches, too! Bummer. Emily is only about 39 inches! She is 'sweet and petite', and may not get to climb it until next year. But, she was not that upset... especially when there's a GIANT toilet to slide down!

"Don't forget to flush!"


Meanwhile, Alex had a blast climbing the rock wall! He had tried it a year or so ago, and could not make it to the top, but today, he was like Spiderman! He made it to the top 4 times, and was able to ring the bell 3 times! Go Alex!

Getting his gear on



Headed to the top



Almost there...



"I did it!"


While Emily waits on those extra 5 inches to climb the wall, she had a ball in the bubble room!

Ready for some serious bubbles!


They also loved creating masterpieces by melting crayons...SO FUN!
















We had a GREAT afternoon and didn't leave without watering the garden...



...and shooting a few hoops...












but about 3 hours later, it was time to go. When we got in the car, they asked...

"Can we come back tomorrow?"

  5. What a fun museum! Our kids' museum doesn't have half that much stuff.

    The toilet pic is too funny! I'd frame it and hang it in my guest bathroom! LOL
