Took 2; Left with 2

Tuesday we went to The Children's Museum in St. Paul. We try to go once a year. Last year we I'm sure we went, but can't really remember...I think the special exhibit was Clifford, and the year before that was Sesame Street. This time they showcased dinosaurs!

Can you see Katie and Will in there? They had an area where you could take a picture and
e-mail it to yourself.

Usually we go in the morning as soon as it opens. This year, because Katie has kindergarten in the morning we were forced to wait until after lunch. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. All the school groups left by 1:30 -2:00 and for the next 2 hours we had the place pretty much to ourselves...give or take 20 kids.

This is the first visit to the museum where I didn't have to constantly help someone. I could really just step back and let them go explore. Needless to say that made for a very stress-free visit. Neither of them can decide which part was their favorite....so here is a taste of our afternoon.




The grocery store - always a favorite. A picture of them together - rare.


Will creating a collage.



I wanted to take a picture of Will with T-Rex, but there was no way in hell Will was gonna take his eyes off that guy. (He moved...and I'm sure Will thought he was gonna take a bite while his back was turned.)

Again, one of Katie's favorite areas is the block work place. Filled with conveyor belts, pulleys, and foam blocks - she likes to play in the warehouse.
