I ♥ Museums

I decided to take my BIG girl and my little girl to the Museum of Nature and science this week. The best part about not having and 9:00 - 5:00 job is that we can go on family field trips to the museum on a random Tuesday and not have to fight Saturday crowds and lines. There was NO one there. It was greatness. I pretty much just let Addison lead the way through the Children's Museum on the lower level. We visited the town where she played builder and danced on the stage, we climbed on the fire truck, played at the water table, planted some seeds and rode a John Deer tractor, played in the backyard where we met new animal friends, got stuck in the spider web and climbed through the tunnel. Addison made us lunch in the pretend kitchen... it was oh so yummy. Lillian got to actually get out of her stroller for once and climb all over the mats in the "baby" area.... she is officially standing up all by herself! After that, we went back up stairs to the main part of the museum. Addison went digging for dinosaur fossils, played with giant bubbles, learned about tornados and one of the best parts is that Mommy got to play with her new camera! :) Somehow I got sucked into spending $10.00 on rocks in the gift store. Apparently, Addison has a rock collection now. I'm really looking forward to the weather warming up so that we can start enjoying outdoor activities again! I can't wait!





















Museums are so much fun!
