Mommy had a big party today, so it was just Daddy and I home to take care of each other. Well, it didn’t take us long to figure out that we needed to hit the town. We got dressed and hit the Children’s Museum right as it opened this morning. Our first stop was to get our tickets for the show…more on that later. Then, we played in the underwater exhibit for a long time. They had a submarine to play in and had a big blue wall where you could stand and see yourself on the TV and it looked like you were underwater! I danced there for a long time and got quite a little chorus line of friends assembled before it was all over.
Next stop was the train. This thing was big and loud. I stood close when the big bell was ringing because I wasn’t scared, but I had Daddy close by just in case. We played with the model trains, too…pushing the buttons to turn on the lights, toot the horn, or drop the guard rail.
Then, it was time to line up in front of the planetarium to catch the show. We sat down in big chairs that leaned waaaay back because the the movie screen was the whole ceiling of the room! We watched Mr. Rogers and the people in the Land of Make Believe talk about the moon and stars. I ooohed and ahhhed with the crowd while we watched the stars spin all around us and watched Mr. Rogers point out the constellations.
The dino exhibit was next, and Daddy and I were brave enough to take as much of the big, loud dinosaurs as we could before we made our way to Playscape to splash in the water and sift the sand. Then, after some chicken and fries, we were back at it again and made trips to the polar bear, Authur’s World, and a few other exhibits. After going solid from 10 to 3, we called it a day and drove home to relax with some movies and stories.
As always, here is the photo evidence!
