We spent a fun day at the museum before Nate goes back to school. Warning! There are a lot of pictures in this post.
Hanging out in the fort room.
Riding trikes.
The second floor balcony.
Painting the castle.
Farm puppet show.
The noodle forest.
Those are some big shoes! Nate had his Crocs on inside the shoes.
Serving up some ice cream.
Getting ready to race.
Eve lounging in the under 3 area. When she can crawl and walk she will love this area.
The ball maze room.
Playing in the kitchen. They use fleece, lace, and rubber scraps for the food. They made pizzas and then Nate was serving salad to anyone that wanted some.
Playing in the market. I think they could have spent the whole day in the market and kitchen. Or maybe the climber.
The climber from the second floor. It is mostly made of steel, wood, and plastic.
Going up the zig zag. Ellie at one point was crawling along and wasn’t paying attention and she fell through the hole onto the next level. She scraped her side on the way down but she was ok. I think most of her crying was because she was surprised that she fell down.
The view from the bottom. Nate is standing on the platform in the middle of the picture.
The view from the top. Anyone that knows me (Mandy) well enough knows that I don’t like walking over anything I can see through, well the floor in the climber is pretty much all see through. In order to make Ellie feel better I went up with her despite my uneasiness. I eventually made it all the way to the top after I decided not to look down. Ellie at one point, early on, had to be escorted down by a museum staffer because she got scared and started crying. The staff here were great.
Ellie finally got comfortable enough with the lower portion and was playing hide and seek with the other kids.
Eve hanging out under the climber.
Hanging out in the huge flying bathtub.
Air tubes that you put scarves in and then they shoot out various places.
