Science Museum

Why do we not come here more often?  The kids get in free, so it's not a bad deal.  Anyway, we made it over to the Children's Science Museum with our friends this morning.  The kids had a blast.  We have not been there since Eli was itty bitty, like "sleeping in the stroller the entire visit" itty bitty.  What I love about this museum is they have a dedicated small kids zone.  It's pretty well fenced off (important), and you can pretty much just let your little ones go.  There are lots of little kid friendly, hands-on stations and a variety of fun toys.  Thanks to our friends, we also found the gymnastics exhibit.  For some reason we'd never made it upstairs before.  The boys had an absolute blast rolling and tumbling all over the mats.

So here are a lot of pictures.  I've been feeling guilty about my lack of photography lately, and I was trying to get some good pictures of the boys.  Unfortunately, the lighting was not great, and the boys were completely uncooperative with looking at the camera, so that plan went out the window, but I did get some pictures that captured our trip.

The boys, especially Eli, loved the water table.

This is my favorite picture of the day.  The boys with their friend William.
