Three Cheers for the Children's Museum

Our family adores the Denver Children's Museum! We have been there several times, but our last visit was over a year ago. For some time, Reid has been requesting to visit the museum again. With Luke off school for a teacher inservice day, we jetted up to the museum and spent 3 hours playing the day away. It is amazing how our experience changes with each visit to the museum. As our boys grow, they prefer certain exhibits over others. Luke has "aged out" of some of the exhibits that Reid now loves, and Grant found so much fun in many of the exhibits the older boys liked when they were younger. It warmed my heart to see all three boys exploring and enjoying moments playing together there.

Boys in a Bubble
The bubble exhibit was a HUGE hit
with all 3 boys. By pulling on this rope,
Luke created a square bubble 
around them, but not for long with 
Grant right there to POP it!

 Shopping Spree in the Marketplace
He was kind of a crazy driver with this cart.
Let's just say that it's a good thing he doesn't
push the cart in the grocery store or
a few displays (and people)
would be knocked down!

 Leahy Pizza Shop
They had the cutest make-believe wood-fired
pizza oven, and the boys whipped up
some great pizza masterpieces!

 An earthworm. An ant.
Lots of chuckles.

Have you ever seen a tap dancing chicken?
Well, here you go!

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley!
As we exited the museum, we spotted
this trolley that was about to make
its last trip of the day. We hopped
on board and took a 20 minute tour.

 A lovely day for a trolley ride 
with these cute fellas!

Those baby blues were watching
it all. G loved his first trolley trip!

The next morning after our children's museum visit, Reid awoke and exclaimed, "Yesterday was the BEST.DAY.EVER!" I couldn't agree more. Sweet boys. Sweet memories.
