Children's Museum

Greg had a random day off today, so we loaded up and went to the Children's Museum. Toby had a BLAST!!! He hasn't been there for a year and he really got into it this time. He could participate in all the activities. it was so much fun to watch him explore the things around him. Liliana was content to be held for the most part until later in the day when it was finally safe to let her crawl. After driving home we went to dinner at Appplebee's and then did alittle Walmart shopping. I wish Greg had more random days off this was GREAT!! Picture diclaimer: My camera is on its way out it seems so some of the pictures are really clear and others not so much. Hoping to get a new camera in the next couple of weeks. Until then you will have to bear with me. Before we even left the house.... she crashed as we were finishing getting ready.



Enjoying pushing random button combinations without getting yelled at :)




Playing with a replica of the Trolley (The museum has replicas of Mister Rogers Neighbborhood which was filmed in Pittsburgh. In fact when I was younger we visited the studio a couple of times. Mister Rogers was my favorite.)




Daddy and Toby playing dualing puppets.



I wonder what's in here?



Mommy and Liliana


Playing the really neat as Daddy called it "plinko drum." You dropped rocks in the drum and it made beautiful sounds as it hit the metal bars inside it.



Driving the car in the "Garage" section of the museum. It took alot to get him to try something else becuse this boys LOVES to drive.




Showing Daddy the car parts



Row, Row, Row your boat


Playing dress-up in the Vietnamese Round Boat



The antigravity room... just looking at the picture makes me sick




Trains!




Playing in the rice table



Liliana being attacked by the dinosaur



The light table was covered with colored sand. Toby and I had loads of fun playing with it.



Enjoying some of her own play time




The third floor is nothing but water play with three giant pools and a spot where water comes out of the floor and you can route it different places using pipes. Very cool!




Scooping water to make the wheel spin



Mommy why do I have to sit here while Toby gets to have all the fun?




What? Me? Splash? Never!!!



Daddy and Liliana


Laughing at the boy next to him. He was making the fish "jump" in the air.


Hanging on the Trolley


Henrietta Pussy cat, err, I mean Liliana talking to....



X the Owl ... I mean Toby


Checking out the drums in the bottom of the player piano. Which incidently played Mister Rogers songs
Crashed! He nearly fell asleep with a french fry in his mouth that's how tired he was.


Because he ate his leftover lunch in the car after he woke up, we let him get an oreo sundae at Applebee's. He was in his glory! The boy loves ice cream.


Liliana cuteness to end with

Toby has one if the BEST smiles I have ever seen!



Mr. Rodgers was my favorite, too.

I am so sad they quit showing him here almost right after he died.

SO SAD. :-(
