Celebrating

On Thursday we celebrated our end of the school year with a trip to the children’s museum.  I was supposed to call and see if there were any field trips coming but I forgot so when we got there it was CRAZY crowded.  Bug put her hands over her ears at one point and said, “Mommy can we please leave? There’s too many people here!”  She’s definitely a small town girl. :)

They managed to have some fun even with kids swarming around like we were inside an overactive beehive!

There was a new area set up like a campsite.  The girls loved it!

Dress up clothes and musical instruments were strewn all over the stage, but Boo jumped right into the throng and put together an outfit for herself.  Another girl had the yellow Snow White skirt, but she just hunted around till she found this white one.

Noni and I took turns with Peanut in the baby area…the one place that wasn’t crawling with kids.  She found a “Te” and had a grand old time feeding it many little grains of rice.

Noni took the girls to do the craft since that wasn’t as crowded.  They came back with cute little frog hats.

Peanut tried out all the toddler toys.

And after we’d been there for 45 minutes the school group finally left.  They must have been 1st graders because they kept trying to take K with them. :)  The place cleared out to hardly anyone and the employees went around trying to pick everything up (you can see the guy behind them, cleaning up the stage) while the girls finally got to use some of the attractions.

Peanut was released from the toddler area and went exploring.  She walked right up to the snake cage and put her face close to the glass, but then the snake started moving and she backed off in a hurry!  She did get close again after I told her it was ok.

Her favorite thing was the water table.  She LOVED it!

She tried out all the other activities too…or maybe she was just trying out all the different germ flavors: Maraca germs, yum! :{

Good thing the next place she went was the doctor! :)

Buggy was pretending to be Auntie Katherine. :)

Then they all went speeding around the track together.

The blur…

Sweet girl!

Back to the water table!  A was soaked by the time we left!  Noni had to stand there with her and keep her from climbing IN!

We got to enjoy over an hour of playing with less than 10 kids in the place.  It was very nice!

Peanut figured out how to climb up and do the slide all by herself.  She was pretty pleased. :)

They set up a picnic for us, and “caught” some fish.

And sampled some more germs.

And Noni made this for them on the Lego wall.

All in all it was a very fun morning celebrating the end of school!
