The Children's Museum

Last week some time (it's all a blur right now)... we had a family outing! We decided to drive to Seattle and see their kids museum:)

















Pay no attention to the dumpster outside the place---it was great:) There was so much to do--we were there for hours and it was a good price!! The girls loved it.


















There was a nature section where there were fake rocks, trees, caves, etc. You could lift the rocks and see what might be living under them! The girls thought the lizards were cool! Dalaina was not so excited about the spiders:(























This tree was cool too. And they are looking down because you could see through the floor to the roots and see how they grew! It was educational:)


















They got to wear bat costumes and pretend to be bats in a cave. (their hoods with the ears fell down) Faith scared a little boy--he asked her not to do that!!























Then there was rock climbing---it didn't last but a moment. They realized they were not strong enough or big enough for this one:(
























Their favorite part was the art center!!!!! They were little artists:) They each had their own apron, easel, and paints---it was great. They would have painted all day if we didn't push them along to see the rest of the place. We used the good old, "we must take turns and share with the other kids who are here" bit and it worked!





















In that same art center, there was a craft table, a building table, and a clay table. They enjoyed pounding the clay to a pulp!!! Even David joined in the fun:)
