Crazy day at the Childrens Museum...

Seriously why would anyone actually go with me to a place like the Children's Museum? Well ask SIL because the wonderful woman she is came with! I think there must have been a lack of oxygen that day to her brain. I mean the children's museum is not the most relaxing and quiet place a rodeo would have been more relaxing. BF would probably have to ask the doctor for a Rx of something to make it through. It's not even a place of organized chaos - it is just pure and uncontrolled chaos. And yet we all went! Go figure.
Why did we? Because Silly Pants & Monkey had seen that Clifford the Big Red Dog was featured there and wanted to go and see it and play. So we got tickets from Husbands work - don't think I could pay full price for it - just a bit too much - but discounted tickets - I'm in!


Yes I took pictures.....
Our adventure started out with Clifford - surprise surprise! There was this big giant dog dish that Monkey thought was great - it had a conveyor belt to put the dog bones on - he that was the coolest thing. Mini C apparently thought he was the dog food??

here is SIL sitting with Mini at the pretend sand box - it represented Bird Well Island on Clifford - the big boys were unimpressed.

But they did like the music area! Silly on the drums and Monkey on the Xylophone!


After Clifford we headed to the natural area. Silly Pants was a turtle and a raccoon. Monkey really wanted nothing to do with either!
While Monkey and Silly played, SIL showed Mini the aquarium with the live fish and turtles. Does it not make you smile just looking at the two of them together???
After the natural area - we had to take the elevator to the next spot on the list. Mini C practically flew jumped our of SIL's arms to get to the buttons
Our next stop was the water works area -
Silly Pants and SIL started in the bubble making area - she is such a good aunt!
After assisting Silly she took Mini to the toddler water spot. She showed him how the water tubes and balls worked together. Then he seemed to take over and seemed to know just what to do. It was so fun watching him put the ball in one end and purposefully watch the other end for the ball to come out.
Monkeys favorite spot had to be the race way. You take a boat that is provided and put it behind the little door thing. He figured out pretty fast that you had to wait for the water to fill up behind it in order for the boat to go fast and win!! He was so proud when he won.

The last thing that Monkey wanted to do was drive the bus in the little city. Unfortunately a little boy from a school that was there was not willing to share. When he put the hat down Monkey grabbed it. The boy proceeded to tell an adult and the lady tried to get in my face about it. Sorry - Homey Don't Play That! Don't be telling me about my 3 year old when your 6 year old is bullying the kids on the fake flippin bus! Needless to say Monkey got his turn and left happy! Don't be messing with my sweet little man! =) This is the final picture in our adventure. Silly Pants was apparently exhausted from our big day and thought he was rest his body on the ledge while we waited for our elevator to arrive. The day was wonderful - much thanks to SIL who went along and had a smile the whole time! got to love my sister!

Yes, I would have needed medication. I am so glad your SIL is so into being a kid and having fun and also seems to have the patience you have! How blessed you both are to have each other!
