Girls Day Out

Monday we planned to meet a friend at the science and children's museum. She ended up having to cancel because her daughter's dentist appointment went late but we decided to go ahead and go by ourselves. We had a great time.

We started in the Natural History Museum side which we usually don't see. Most of it is a little boring. Who really wants to look at rocks and minerals? There was a room with animals from Texas. Katherine liked the log with the monarch life cycle. I told her the steps one time and she repeated it over and over.



She liked seeing all of the woodland creatures. Almost all of them are in her favorite Franklin stories so she knew all of their names.
One room had the physics experiments that used to be in the other building. Katherine had fun playing with the balls. I did not launch into my speech on potential energy which is what this one was showing.

Our favorite part of the museum is the children's museum. It is perfect for the toddler and preschool age range. There are all kinds of fun activities. Every time we go we try to focus on a different area. Today we went into the area with mats and blocks since Caroline could sit and play. It was a lot of fun to see the girls playing together.
Katherine would build a tower and Caroline would try to knock it over.




Katherine dressed up in the fireman costume and moved the cones. For some reason she things that is great fun.
We also had a picnic but I did not take any photos. It was a great day with the girls.
