children's museum

It's been awhile since we've been to the children's museum.  The older kids had outgrown it a few years ago (although, I'm not sure how that's possible because I love everything there) and Diego had never been.

So it was time for a day trip.... just him and me!

Ohhh....chickens!  How fun is this egg run?



We have eggs just like this at home...maybe I can make one!



Fishing in the boat...this was fun until he started swinging that pole around like a sword.  Time to move on.



The outside area is my favorite part....musical instruments everywhere.  Sand, water, and....




....snails.  I'm loving snails right now.


Back inside, we hit the always busy apple tree!  Despite there being some school field trips there that day (there are always schools there!), Diego had his side all to himself.



Which one should I pick first?!



Such a cool car to work on.  Too bad I couldn't hire this guy to do the work on my real car today that's in the shop!




Cashiering has to be the one aspiration of all children.  He knew just how to scan the food and which buttons to press.



Stop the ambulance!  Can't! My legs are too short!



And look at this huge contraption!  I don't remember this before.  But definitely one of our favorites.



First you stuff the scarves into the hole.




You'll feel a nice cool breeze... then woosh!  They whip around in the tubes and come flying out from above somewhere.



Try to catch them before they hit the ground!



So much fun...I wanted to knock all the kids down to catch one, but I restrained myself.



Quick ride on a dino on the way out.



Three is a perfect age for the children's museum! Everything's new and exciting.  I love three!
