Children's Musuem

For Labor Day we took Ethan to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. I've heard good things about this place but was afraid that it would be too old for Ethan. Once we got there we loved it and so did Ethan. It was totally worth our time and money.

First there was the beehive. A fun place for kids to put balls in tubes and send them all around the room. Ethan's favorite part was where he put the ball in this tub and it sucked it up. It reminded me of those tubs they use at the bank drive up.

Next was a music table that Ethan loved to play on. Jared and I even got in on the action.

After that was the playroom. This was by far Ethan's favorite place. It had a construction zone where he used blocks to build things.

A house where Ethan pretended to cook

A grocery story were Ethan got to go shopping and check out the groceries.

A farm area where Ethan stacked up the barrels of hay and drove the truck.

We spent most of our time in the playroom and I'm pretty sure Ethan would have spent all day in there if we'd let him. After this we got some lunch and then came back to the Museum to see the other rooms.

Out on the roof was a helicopter for the kids to play on and of course Ethan loved it. But it was really busy and crowded so he didn't get to play on it too long.

Next we went into the science room where they had all kinds of thing to build with. Here Jared is helping Ethan build a car.

And we can't forget about Madelyn! She was a good baby and slept most of the time giving us the chance to spend some good one on one time with Ethan. It was a great day and a fun way to spend it together.

I think Children's museums are one of the greatest invetions ever!! That one looks so fun! Ethan is such a big boy - Potty Trained!!! We are just starting to take baby steps. Problem...I don't know where I packed Marley little undies, so I'm glad you said Ethan liked picking his out...we'll have to get more for Marley and maybe letting her pick them out will make it more exciting. Madelyn is so so so cute! You have a great recipe for boys AND girls!!!
I'm still working on a good time to head up north to see you! Hopefully soon! Love you Shan!
