Thanks for the membership....

Mom, Dad, and Uncle Tom...it's already paid for itself! Thank you so much...






Molly wasn't so sure about all this carousing...



Big kids like carousel rides too!












couldn't go to the museum and have all that fun without taking the infamous self portrait...yikes.


Molly and Nora, checking out the itty bitty dollhouse display...






I love the section that has the little playhouses...here, Mel, Pipes, and Levi were in the 50's style soda shop...in this exact spot, one of my favorite Melanie pics ever was taken 3 years ago...I must find it and post it here...be right back...



~Ok, found it....look below...can't believe how grown up she is now...and I thought back then (2006) that she was so grown up! slow down, girl! what's yer hurry with that growin' up business?































This is the classroom in the new display at the C Museum...it focuses on 3 kids in history who have had to deal with discrimination...and I can't remember off hand why there is a school room like this but it might have something to do with Ruby Bridges....

















Molly was really "digging" the sand...check out the pic below...she was hooked onto the sand box, by her ribs, and her little feet were off the ground...Nora couldn't stay away from the water section...so that is why there aren't any of her in the sandy area...












for some reason, she likes closing herself into small spaces. she makes me nervous with this.









at the end of the visit, when mom's are ready to leave their kids on the corner of Illinois and 30th...let alone take some pics of them for posterity's sake...I joke...and actually, this visit to the Children's Museum was pretty good...Friday afternoon, 3 pm - close at 5 pm, when most people have gone home, school field trips have left...gotta remember to do this again in the future...

We love going there! It IS sad how fast our kiddos are growing, isn't it? LOVE the pic of Molls leaning over the sand table! Soooo cute!

Oh, you are right, Mel really has grown up, hasn't she? And, I hate to ask his, but is it just my imagination or is Will almost taller than you? Of course, one of the cutest pix is the one of Moo hanging over the sandbox...I can just picture her eating it on the other side.

Hugs, t
