Children's Museum

Today I took the kids to the children's museum with Aunt Kelly and Abby, Maggie, and Sean. We had not seen each other in so long. Kate had been begging to go see them, but with school it has been really hard to get together. We met Aunt Kelly at her house and began to load up. As we were loading Maggie turns to me and says, "Aunt Chrissy, look there is a police officer. Did you know that you can pay them a lot of money and they will take your picture?" Needless to say I think that the speed cameras have caught someone in their house a few times! It was priceless and gave us all a good laugh. We stopped and got some lunch so that we could take it into the museum with us. We all ate and surprisingly Connor actually sat in his high chair without throwing a fit. After lunch it was playtime! We started with the noodle forest, the ice cream stand, and the grocery store. The kids had so much fun! The girls loved standing behind the ice cream stand and serving anyone and everyone who would come up to them. Then it was off to the pizza kitchen and the ball room. Sean and Connor had so much fun in the ball room. It is amazing how kids can be so entertained by balls rolling down tubes! The girls served Kelly and I many delicious items including: pizza, diet coke, and Abby's special salad! When we were full we moved on to the bikes. The kids had such a great time going through the bike wash. Connor used the small push car. He loved it. As we were getting ready to leave we found this great vacuum exhibit. You place these soft plush balls into a vacuum and you watch them spin through the maze and shoot out the other side. The kids loved it! We had such a good day! Kate said on the way home, "Mommy thanks for such a great day, you're the best!"
