the children's museum

We got to go with our fabulous friends Scott, Deb, Emmerly, and Nola to the Children's Museum a few weeks ago. We had a grand time!

Luke had a blast playing in the "younger kids" area - he could crawl all around and do whatever he wanted!

Miss Nola calling "anybody"

Nola and Emmerly taking care of their animals

EmJ carefully checking her dog's eyes out

Check out that sweet painting!

Nola just wanted to fill in all the white :o)

EmJ as a rabbit (these masks were some of her favorite things!)

Perhaps my favorite picture of the day... :o)

Sweet Ballerina Nola

(can you handle those curls?!)

Emmerly, the dancing mail carrier...

Hee hee!

EmJ in a bubble!

.

This was definitely a favorite room... EmJ, Luke, and I explored this room while Scott, Deb, Em, and Nola were working on building something, so I didn't get any pictures of them with the bubbles... bummer!

These bubbles were awesome - they were made with dry ice or something so when they touched your skin they popped/evaporated like this! So cool!

Luke loved, loved, loved the trains!

:o)

.

We also played a lot in this cool room designed to make kids feel like they are bugs or birds - there's a huge ant hill to crawl through, a birds nest... all kinds of fun stuff.

We played for a little bit in the awesome grocery store, but we didn't get much time there because the museum was closing.

.

What a super fun day!!!

We had a fabulous time with The Melvin Family when they were here... love them! Deb got some group pictures of us on her camera, so hopefully she'll post a blog with those soon! (hint, hint!) :o)
