Children's Museum

After a weekend in bed, I was getting a little cabin fever, so we decided to round up Nicole and kids and head over to the Children's Museum.

This is only the second time we've gone and I don't know why we don't go more often. (Oh yes. It may have something to do with the $7 charge per adult.) Regardless, it was a great way to spend the morning and early afternoon.

It was a bit more crowded than the last time we went. Then again, the last time we were there, only one other little boy was in the building. This time there were more kids which means more chances to lose track of your own.

The kids had a blast. They held a puppet show, playing restaurant, went grocery "shopping", and performed an odd little stage show. (My favorite part of which was Joseph playing the piano, pounding away and looking over at Sophia as she danced in much the same way a piano player in a lounge would glance over at the star.) They did a little arts and crafts, played in the ball pen and set off the alarm in the elevator. (Seriously, though, what does the museum expect to happen when the "Emergency" button is precisely at a two-year-old's eye level?)

After being served the seventeenth pizza from the museum's pizzeria, we came home to the real thing. (And no, we didn't have Round Table, in spite of Joseph's costume.) By that time, I was ready for a nap myself!
