Children's Museum

We hadn't been to the Children's Museum in ages!!! Since we've had several friends raving about the new exhibit, we decided to take the grandparents downtown and check it out. The exhibit featured all sort of create-it-yourself crafts. Something I totally thought the kids would be completely into. Little Miss A was for a little bit, creating a book and a purse ad even experimenting for a little bit with a "rotocopter" creation as well.

However, they both headed to the regular exhibits we've seen and done so many times before...with a twist.

Little Miss A spent over an HOUR in the milk department. Loading up bottles to send down the conveyor belt. Stocking the shelves of the store, then sending the bottles up the chute and back to the manufacturing plant. We've NEVER experienced this stationary exhibit. (Not sure if it's always been too crowded to play in the past or if the kids just never saw it as "interesting" before or what.)

With the train out of commission today, D helped A in the milk department even milked the cow!!! Then was his typical pinball self spinning uncontrollably from spot to spot...store, kitchen, nurse's station, bat cave, library (though he didn't make it through story time), metro bus, construction zone, etc. I swear the kid is the next "Houdini" and can disappear in an instant!!!! Thank heavens I had reinforcement help to keep tabs on the little man! Even then, 3 sets of eyes wasn't enough at times!!!
