And lots of other fun things, too.
Last Friday, Connor and I met up with our friends Rebekah, John and James at the downtown children's museum for a morning of fun while the little guys were at school. You might also remember it as the "boat school," which is how Connor always references it.
We started out in the toddler area, which is contained. The boys all got wet, but that's to be expected (or it is now anyway, since I didn't think to mention it to Rebekah beforehand). Connor enjoyed hoarding all the toys. John was pretty happy with a toy shark, and little James had the most fun - drinking all the water out of a cup! It was quite cute, though I'm sure he had a pretty soggy diaper by the end of the morning!
We eventually left the safety of the contained area and spent the rest of our time chasing after three little boys who never seemed to be interested in the same thing at all! There was some time with the fresh market and the John Deere Gator, where of course they all wanted to drive. There was time on the horses and with the boats on the river display (hence, "the boat school").
And we even made it upstairs, to watch balls circle the vortex, step on the "Big" piano, and watch our shadows on the wall. The boys walked on the moon and rode in a spaceship, they played with a maze game on the side of the wall. And finally, they played with bubbles. John is pictured above, making a bubble around himself and blowing it out. There are several different areas and the waterproof flooring is always covered in a soapy film from all the fun.
It's actually a pretty cool place, if you've never been. I'm pretty sure all the boys would recommend it to you. And with all the contained areas, it's also parent friendly (special thanks to Miss April who recommended it to us, back in the days of developmental therapy!)
