Children's Museum

After going to the Children's Museum on Monday and finding it closed, we decided to try again this morning. I really wouldn't call it a museum as much as a great big play room with all kinds of hands on things for kids. It was built in an old movie theatre so the room is huge. There was a sand box, rock climbing wall, basketball, puppet theatre, play kitchen, grocery store, hospital, craft corner, dress up, doll house, train set, a music station and the list goes on. We will definitely be going back.

When we arrived there were two different daycare/preschool classes there, but within minutes they all left so Emily, Benjamin and I had the entire place to ourselves.

Emily's favorite things were the real piano and of course the craft area. While playing the piano she would keep playing with one hand and turn the music sheets with the other. And the crafts! There were TONS of different pairs of scissors and real Elmer's glue. She was in heaven. She also grabbed a pair of binoculars and when I asked her what she was looking at she said, "I'm looking at the birds." Maybe she'll be an ornithologist when she grows up! Benjamin and I were also treated to a puppet show by Emily. It was brief but oh so cute.

Above are some photos of my little bird watcher, pianist, puppeteer and artist. It was definitely well worth the few dollars spent for a fun two hours of playtime!
