day 84 blog 71 san diego children's museum

yesterday we went to the san diego children's museum for the first time. i feel like i got my $85 annual family membership's worth almost in one visit...went a little crazy with photos and we only got through about half...you can see the "chariot" behind story...he figured out how to pump and push himself forward...this first photo is one of my favorites of all of them...
this room was intended for children 2 and under...little wooden horses and animals to ride on...lots of different lights and animal sounds...you can see the light switches controlling these...story is really into turning things on and off so this was right up his alley...
this room had a large dresser filled with costumes...they were sort of abstract so you could pretend what you were...here they are pretending to be bats flying around...
the kids could have spent a LONG time in this long air filled rainbow tunnel...literally bouncing off the walls together...
here is story crawling after the big kids...
sea loved the big table of blocks...i tried to get a photo of her constructions but story loved knocking them over...
here is one of ruhi's...you can see the rain house in the background...
they had water raining down on the top of this house so it sounded quite loud inside...
i loved the colors and this "pajaro" but sea wasn't up for posing...but it is still classic sea with the pout...
i loved a wall of felts...here is story climbing up higher to reach...you can cut out your own shapes/names...
we've thought about making a wall like this in one of the kid's rooms because they so love making designs out of felts...
story trying to cut something...
sachi and story playing outdoors in the bubble station...


bubbles everywhere...
back to the felts...
story walking by a room we didn't check out yet...near a huge trojan horse high on the 3rd floor...
had to get "san diego" in there somewhere...
sea and ruhi making up over something...loving one another...and ending the museum day by the illuminated word "art"...

we got coupons for the old spaghetti factory and headed over to share salad, garlic bread, spaghetti with marinara and mizithra cheese and ending with spumoni...
i hope to go there every thursday! off to pick up the house before taking manuel to the airport...

  1. Goodness! I want to go there :) That place looks like so much fun. The first photo of Sea in a "sea" of blue and green is great - frame-worthy for sure. A blogging friend of mine made a large felt board that is so cool. Scribbit - DIY Children's Flannel Storyboard Hope you don't mind that linked to it.

    About NaBloPoMo - I wanted to feature one blogger each day, just as my way to visit some of the participants and to remember the ones I liked. It isn't a rule with NaBloPoMo at all.

    Have a fabulous day!
