The Children's Museum

Then the Highlight of the day, the Children's Museum. This place is awesome!! There is so much to do there for so many ages. There are 5 sections, we were there for 2 hours and we bearly wentthough 3, (the last one was towards Heidi Anne's nap time) so more like 2.5 sections. You can spend the whole day there easy!

The Beehive
The first section we went to was the Beehive. Here there are two parts, one where there are big musical instruments and the other is where kids basically play with balls down shoots, up pipes, down peg boards, ramps, vents, just busy bees.

The Kid's Eye View
We spent the most time in this area. The best way to describe it right off the bat would be to think of the coolest play house you ever saw as a little kid--remember it?--now times that by 100.
That is the Kid's Eye View.


There is a fun water play area, with and old handle pump, pipes with running water, different things to pour with, even little floating water toys.
Heidi Anne thoroughly enjoyed every single wet second of it!
She would focus so hard at times just thinking about what to do next.
The next stop was an Just for under 3 play area. It had a little bird playhouse, a wigwam play house, a few slides, different things up on the walls for them to play with, lots of activities!
There was a big playhouse, complete with a kitchen, bedroom, and living room, (think studio apartment). Heidi Anne ironed, vacuumed, played in the kitchen, and after all her hard work, took a little break and relaxed. Doesn't she look happy playing with the puzzle? I loved how everything is perfectly child sized.Next to the playhouse was a Construction area, with big foam blocks, cranes, pulleys, "blueprints" on the walls for the kids to follow. Next was the play Farm, with a farm truck they can play in and round, collect chicken eggs, pick vegetables, and play with them getting ready for market. Heidi loved to organize the vegetables, and play with the conveyor belt. Next to it was a play Market. Heidi Anne had an absolute ball! Playing store is one of her favorite things, and you couldn't of had a better play store. It had absolutely everything-bakery, deli, aisles, hand baskets, check out lanes, and even little lines.--Guess even in make believe there are still lines.
We tried to attempt the upstairs parts. We played in a bit in the Studio. However, by this time Heidi Girl was exhausted. All in all, it was a great day, and she had tons of fun with her Nana.
