The Children's Museum

S explored the Children's Museum on Friday since Dad only had to go into the facility for a few hours. Right when we walked up to the doors of the Children's Museum Stratton was excited because the floor to the entrance was covered with a matt of bubbles! He could have stayed right there all day smashing the bubbles that were on the ground and watching the new bubbles form. S was very upset that we had to actually go inside. He soon got over that when we entered the first exhibit, which was a huge room dedicated to Clifford, the big red dog. A huge statue of Clifford was in the entrance and then there was lots of things to do. S started and ended with Cliffords dog bowl full of giant dog bones. S must be missing Shiloh because he loved the dog bowl and kept going back to it. The dog bowl has a pulley system on the side where kids can put dog bones and then turn a wheel that makes them go into the dog bowl. As you can see below the dog bones were nearly S's size and looked so yummy that he decied to taste one!

A couple of other things S did in the Clifford part of the museum. . .

Drove a truck.

Played with extremely childproof scissors!

After the Clifford area we explored other neat parts of the museum. The construction zone was amazing! S got to wear a contruction hat along with a work belt. He worked with nuts, bolts and tools to help build a cube (mom's idea). We didn't finish due to attention span, but maybe next time! S also enjoyed the pretend stage with all the buttons and lights and the pretend restaurant. He made a taco!

In the construction zone!

"I'm so cool."

This is S climbing in a marmot hole. He also saw a glacier and some bats in a cave. There was a slide with snow on it that he slid down about 100 times. He really enjoyed his time at the museum and will probably be going there when weeks of rain hamper the idea of going to the park everyday. There is a ton more to see at the Children's Museum so look for more in the future!
