Children's Discovery Museum

My Aunt Wendy came to visit, so we tried to do some fun things while she was here. First on the list was the Children's Discovery Museum.

We played with the elephant outside for a few minutes while we waited for the museum to open.

Since we were there first, the boys had uninterrupted time in the fire truck.

Figuring out how to motor the trolley and airplane.

Scott was a little young for some exhibits, but was really into the discovery parts. Some of them were easier with Dad's help.

The current exhibition was storybooks and Scott beelined for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

He spent the entire time putting letters up in the tree.

Jonah watched.

I put this cute bunny tail jacket on him for the Peter Rabbit exhibit. He walked around for about five seconds before going back to the letter tree.

Meanwhile, we took Jonah around to explore.

He found play food.

We dragged Scott away to see more and found an ambulance.

Scott drove and Jonah pushed buttons.

Cutie Jonah walking all over the place. You can see the bruise between his eyes from the play kitchen.

Waving to everyone.

I was playing with aperture settings on the camera.

So excited to start moving on the train!

Scott sat completely absorbed and focused the whole ride.

Jonah waved.

We went to lunch downtown then came back for some more fun. Scott played with the bubbles while I fed Jonah, since he slept through lunch.

Scott whipped up some tasty food. He knew just what to do in that kitchen.

Jonah liked the water best.

Excited face:

We ditched the apron because he was already soaked and kept tripping over it.

Scott didn't want to get wet, but eventually gave in when he couldn't resist the balls anymore.

I hadn't been to the "purple museum" since I was little, so it was fun to revisit with my own kids. I definitely remembered everything being bigger!
