Adventures at KidSpace Museum

This was a huge climbing tower and he made it about half way up before realizing how high he was, then I had to coax him down.Here's the tube where the bees would come in and out. It said that they do a bee dance to let the other bees know where they found all the good stuff to eat.

Since watching Winnie the Pooh, Ollie has a whole new love for bees. I wonder if we can build one of these in our future home.
Look at that concentration. It's amazing to see how little boys take play so seriously. It is their JOB!

The beginning of the drenching.

Mom, do I look super hard core? Too bad they didn't have skateboards. I can see the injuries and lawsuits now...

Oh the excitement of it all!
You could paint this leaf with water colors and then a waterfall would come on and blend all the colors and wash them away. At first I was like, oh yeah, let him play, no biggie. But then the mom always takes over and you just snap, and then you're done with the messy paint. Fun while it lasted:)
The beginning of a game of chase.
Look how closely he inspects that hand in the flower, like, could that really be mine?

Ollie and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunny day and go to the museum. A few of the highlights were riding cool bikes with helmets on. Ollie felt like such a big kid with his helmet. We got to see a nest of bees making honey and they would come in and out from the outside through a tube. They marked the queen with a spot but we could never find her. By far the coolest part for Oliver were the squirt guns that you'd shoot to hit all sorts of drums and makes lots of noise. He was drenched by the end and loved every minute. Well after 3 hours, Oliver still was not done and I could have lasted even longer because there was so much to do and so much sun outside. But naptime approached so the day was over and Ollie crashed. It was well worth the money. What shall we do tomorrow, beach maybe?
