During Liam’s “spring break” (his preschool follows the same schedule as DeKalb County Schools) I took a few days off for a staycation. One day I drove Liam downtown to the Children’s Museum, which I hadn’t heard of but is apparently awesome (Shannon has been there tons as a nanny). It’s right on the corner of Centennial Park, near the Coke Museum.
When you walk in it is a bit overwhelming, with all sorts of stuff everywhere:
Liam quickly found the ball area, where they have all sorts of mechanical devices that move little plastic balls into a system of rails that go all over the place, then end up getting dropped in various buckets to start the process over again. The Children’s Museum website is very clear that grownups without children accompanying them are not allowed to visit (even if you are a “kid at heart”, ha), but I could see myself enjoying an adult birthday party here very much. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone…
They also have a ginormous train table that Liam really wanted to play with. I had to pull him away and make him go look at the other play areas with a promise that after he had at least seen the other places he could come back and play for the rest of the time.\
Liam climbs into the delivery truck to move boxes around:
Always driving:
Too much fun:
I’ll just pull this handle…
The scale is broken, don’t bother looking for a number.
All I could think was “there is alway money in the banana stand.”
Gleeful running:
Giant mirror:
Giant soft blocks:
Liam likes the blocks:
Creepy cave with stuffed animals in the sides (you can kind of see the windows):
Dromedary:
More gleeful running:
Cool “moon sand” table used for sculpting whatever you wanted without getting too sandy:
Where does this go?
Oh, over here!
Sweet water area with “fish”:
Gotta get one of these for the house:
This is the little girl that got mad at Liam for putting “her” fish back in the water after she caught them and put them on the side of the table. I looked around for a responsible mother to swoop in and make her daughter apologize, but nobody came. Oh well, I guess even horrible children come to the Children’s Museum.
The card says “Moops”:
Farmer Liam says “ya’ll come back now, ya’ hear?”
