Children's Museum

Walking into the museum, nothing looked familiar.  It had only been 20ish years since I had been there!  The one thing that I remembered was the clock and it was still there!

Grayson was a fan of the car section. 

He liked to park the cars in their garages more than move them around.

Sarah said that Grayson loves motorcycles, but this one was a little too stretched out for his arms!

Grayson loved the skid steer!  He went back to it over and over.  He only got off if mommy made him so another child could have a turn.

I think he liked it because he could push and pull on the levers and buttons!






Sandbox


Through the center of the museum is a glass sculpture.

Below the sculpture is a glass ceiling to look at the light coming through all the colored glass.


The dinosaur area was really neat - complete with sounds of dinosaurs.  It was almost a little scary!

We tried a dinosaur suit on Grayson...for about a second...

He quickly walked his way out of it!

I guess he won't be a dinosaur this year for Halloween!

Sarah and Grayson mesmerized by the Rube Goldberg exhibit.

I'm pretty sure we could have stood there all day watching all the different balls moving, falling, bouncing, making noise!

Grayson tried the carousel for his second time.  

I think this try was better than the last because there was no crying, but he still wasn't excited about it.

This was mainly Grayson's look - not sure and holding on tight!


They had some pretty neat things on display.

The huge transformer that greet everyone as you walk in to buy your tickets.  I only know it's Bumblebee because the kids tell me when they pick out their transformer toothbrush!  It was a great trip to the Museum - definitely lots to learn for all ages.
