The kids and I are having LOTS of fun at my mom and dad's house. :) We arrived on Saturday at 12:00am. After a nice sleep we went to the Whole Foods Store with my mom and also to the Half Price Bookstore and out to Linner. (lunch/dinner)
Sunday was church and rest.
On Monday we went to the Cleveland Children's Museum. On the website it looked FUN. When we arrived we pulled up to a blue steel building in the middle of a tiny parking lot. I got a tad bit nervous. Had we driven all that way for some rinky dink waste of time and money? Nope! The inside was GREAT! It was sectioned off into play areas. It was a little like Montessori learning if you ask me. :)
The first room we entered was filled with sand and fun things to do. It was also CRAMMED full of kids but there were PLENTY of tools for the kids to use. :)
Gideon LOVED this paint roller. He used it for a loooong time.
Thomas and Judah are checking out the pipes.
Thomas shoveling.
Matching clothes are the WAY to go in crowded places. I also had a red hooded sweatshirt on. It was great!
Thomas wanted to look the part.
Really fun tool.
Judah played by himself for awhile with these pipes. He's a very thoughtful player. :)
More discovering.
Seriously it was a really long time.
I took a pic of Thomas, turned around, and Gideon had "disappeared". I combed the room with my eyes and didn't see him. I almost panicked when I felt the need (thank-you Lord) to check this tunnel. LOL! He thought it was SO funny that I found him. :)
Judah's turn.
Gid wanted to sport the "right" look too.
The wheelbarrow was also popular.
They worked together for awhile...
and then Gideon got it to himself for a bit.
The Next Area we explored was the farmyard room.
Gideon found this camel upon entering and spent most of his time pushing it around in this little red wheelbarrow.
Judah is checking out the hen house.
Thomas is in the cornfield.
Gideon is "driving" the farm vehicle.
Next stop, climbing net.
Up they go...
with little brother hot on their heels.
Next Stop- Water Room
Judah LOVED this room. He had so much fun creating things.
Actually, they all loved this room...equally as much as the sand room.
He really is having fun. He always gets this really disgruntled look on his face when he is concentrating. But REALLY he is enjoying himself immensely.
See- LOL!
Judah was so serious
and contemplative. It was fun to watch him.
Thomas just had FUN!
Watching big brother
Copying big brother. :)
THe next room was set up like a groccery store. You could push around carts and select "food".
You could also take a turn being the cashier. Thomas LOVED checking out other kids' food.
So did Judah.
Gideon is buckling a baby into his carseat. He did it SO carefully. It was really great.
Speaking of great...check out this picture. Isn't Judah's face beautiful? He just loves babies!!
Gideon does too.
He was undressing the baby so that he could put the baby's "dirty" clothes into the clothes basket and wash them in the toy washing machine. lol!
Pretending to be a nurse.
I loved this sign. The top part really resonated with me. :)
More pictures tomorrow. :) Blessings everyone!
