My Six Words:
It's just fun being silly sometimes.
Thursday Hubby and I took the day off work to go with our 2nd oldest son Av on his end of the year school field trip. His grade visited the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum. It was a lot of fun and they had so many new exhibits since the last time that I took my kids. I love love love hands on museums - they make learning so much more fun for children.
While there are a ton of things to do - the bubble room was first on my kids list! When I first walked in there was a kid who was dipping his hands into the soapy water - my first thought - hey stop that - but this kid knew what he was doing - if your hands are soapy and wet - you can actually push them through a bubble without breaking it. So awesome!!
E thought being inside a bubble was awesome! While at 5 he didn't have the patience needed to slowly pull the rope - he got a chance to stand in with some older kids that did!
How cool is that?
There were lots of fun things to do outside - from train rides to a pirate ship climbing structure...but my favorite was the large maze. I got flash backs of episodes of The Amazing Race while trying to find my way out.Another great room was the funny mirrors...Miss Maddy and I had a blast playing in there! She just laughed and laughed at ourselves.
One of the best things about this children's museum is that they take real items and let kids go to town on them...from the cockpit of a real live airplane that has been attached to the side of the building:
To a old roadster:
My kids had an amazing time - I am so thankful that both Hubby and I were able to take the day off work to spend it with 3 of our 4 children. I wish that I didn't stress out so much though when we get into environments like this one. There were 3 schools visiting that day though and we were in charge of not only our 3 but once of Av's classmates as well. It was a bit overwhelming at times trying to keep my eyes on all 4 of them.I also wish that there were more opportunities to meet the parents of my kids classmates...I always knew who they were before I started back to work but now I am having to meet them in places like these...and already being stressed by the sheer number of kids running circles around me - I am not sure that I made a very good first impression. While talking to one mother - I was not even able to look at her while talking - we were out by the pirate ship that was covered in children - think a slice of watermelon at a picnic covered in ants - she's calmly explaining whose Mom she is - and I am trying to be warm and inviting - but instead getting hot under the collar counting over and over - 1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4 - I wish that I was able to let go and relax - but I am constantly worried that my faster that me children are going to get away from me and either lost or hurt.
Have you ever visited a hands on children's museum? Have any idea's on how to relax more in places like this? I would love to hear them!
