Children's Museum...

On Friday we took the kids to the Children's Museum. We haven't been since Brityn was a baby so it was like a whole new experience for all the kids.



The first exhibit you come to are some physical mazes. This is Kendyl going through the rope maze.


Here is Ryder going through the stone maze.

They have pvc pipes set up so you can hit the tops and make music, like Blue Man Group. Ryder thought it was great that he could whack something and not get in trouble.


They have a really cool bubble exhibit where you can make gigantic bubbles, including one you can stand in. Here are the kids blowing on a wall of soap trying to make bubbles.


This is a bucket and pulley system where the kids turned wheels and loaded up the buckets with blocks.





Their set-up was like a little village with a store, a bank, a mechanic shop, a water shop with plumbing, an airport security station, and several more learning stations.


The kids really liked doing their own shopping at Smith's.








The bank had an ATM where the kids could swipe a bank card and withdraw money.











There were also 1 million pennies in the glass case behind Brityn. That would be $10,000 if you do the math.





This was one of their favorites. You lift a bowling ball and then drop it which creates a blast of air that shoots the tennis ball up into the air.








It was funny watching the kids try to lift their own weight.


A little help from Dad.






There were so many fun things to do here. We spent all morning playing in all the different exhibits. And the best part was I didn't have to clean up any toys after we were done!

Looks like a lot of fun! Just yesterday Tanner said it was time to go to Aunt Suzie's house. Not quite time, but glad to know he's looking forward to it cause I know I am!
