Blog, Blog,let's make a Frog! (or a turkey!)

I REALLY should blog at least every other day. Life IS very interesting. If I had been more faithful in blogging this week I would have shared with you our wonderous adventures at the Children's Museum. It has only been opened about a year, if that, but is a great place for youngsters. Baby Girl had a blast! At the first station which was a pizza kitchen, she was so engrossed that she really did not care if I was around or not. I would have posted pictures of this great day, had I not accidentally deleted them from my camera before I downloaded them onto the computer. Thankfully, I did manage to get some printed at Walgreens before the deletion.

ANYWAY...the day was Wednesday. The mood was excited. The kids were happy. The museum is not inexpensive, in that it charges the same for everyone over the age of one year. But, in my opinion, it is worth it. After the pizza kitchen, which also captured Handsome and Hunky's attention, we went to the store. There were grocery carts just the size of the kids. And shelves and shelves of goodies to be purchased at the cash registers complete with scanners and moving conveyor belts. There was a bakery. All the food and boxes looked real, just in child size. There were even scales and beans and rice to weigh. There were miniature racecars with several elaborate tracks. A motorcycle, a crank-up car, and LOTS of interesting textile objects to touch, and see. Ladders to climb. Balls to roll. Sand to paint with in a lighted drum. An art studio with houses to paint, crafts to make, and puzzles to solve. Tricycles to race down a course pre-made, along with helmets and traffic signs etc. There was a fantastic "forest" of what Hunky called "hanging floaties" and Handsome dubbed "hanging noodles" which is closer to what the museum called them. HUNDREDS OF THEM IN BRIGHT COLORS hanging from the ceiling. The boys had a blast meandering through them over and over again. There were bright tents and tunnels as well. Hunky did not want to go home. Handsome finally wore himself out and suggested we leave. Baby Girl was so tired, she could no longer protest any decision!

SO...if you get a day with nothing to do and have a child in your life...and a little extra cash...GO FOR IT! To the museum made just for kids...but lots of fun for adults too!
