The Artist at Work

McKayleigh working on her vases. She LOVES to paint, and wanted her Aunt Gramma to see her finished work.

We found this AMAZING museum for KIDS here. Actually, right across the street from my Gramma! It has bubble rooms, shadow rooms, science rooms, a dentist office from "Dr. DeSoto", a grocery store, climbing mountain, fire truck, art room, news station, reading room, and MUCH MUCH more! Here is a look into our amazing trip to KidSense. The first of many...!

Where's the Fire?!?

Ayden's FAVORITE room! The Fire Department!!! A big truck and jackets, boots, and overalls with working sirens, bells, and lights! Dalmations all around helped the theme.

Fun Never Ends...

Some more pictures from the stage and a few from the big room of blocks! We all love some building materials...!

Once Upon a Time...

Playtime at the Kingdom...

Some pictures in the room that had a stage and TONS of dress up clothes. Of course, Ayden found the king and knight costumes with a sword and was UBER happy! All he shouted the whole time was, "I'm the KIIIING!" A tornado machine, and in the bubble room.

Pictures Galore...

A box in the science room that had holes you sniff and try to recognize the scents, from lemons to pickles. McKayleigh got almost all of them right! Then, a picture of Ayden discovering lightning. Finally, a big mirrored riangles representing a kaliedescope. (Spelling?)

More shots...

More Fun at the Museum!

Some shots of the art room with Ayden mastering the scissors- or attempting to! Another few of the crawlspace Ayden discovered that had a blacklight in it to show rocks and how they glow. He thought this was the coolest- kept telling me his shirt was purple and he wasn't afraid in the dark! Hee hee. Then, one of Ayden enjoying the drums in the Alphabet room- geared towards little kids, but they liked it a lot. (Birth to 5- so found a bunch they liked!)

Some shots of McKayleigh as a news anchor, in the grocery store, building magnetic cars, and in the art room using shape punches. I liked the art room best- tons of markers, colored pencils, scissors, crayons, paints, stamps, magazines for collages, glue, and the like. The kids seemed to have this as a favorites, as well! We rushed off to the other rooms to make sure we could see it all in the two hours before it closed!
