The Children's Museum


Today we went down to the Austin Children's Museum with Jack's playgroup. I almost didn't go because it was raining buckets here this morning, but I bucked up and went. We all got soaked getting into the place and I personally thought it was a bit pricey - but we ended up having ALOT of fun. So I guess it was worth it. I am sorry that there are so many picutres but I really couldn't decide which ones to post! So here ya go!

My little construction workers.

Playing with some tractors.

He doesn't look happy does he?

Janet showing Jack how to work the construction machinery.

Just a cute one of Brookie building blocks.

Brooklyn and Jack with a replica of the state capitol which Brooklyn called "the temple" haha!

Waiting for the train to come around.

Milking some cows.

Brooklyn pumping gas.

This was the spanish room. Every button was either in spanish or english and it just told about the spanish culture. It was really neat.

Here is Brooklyn flippin' some meat.

Playing at the food table that was complete with tortillas and tamales!

My little rock stars!

Brooklyn was able to do a craft there. She had a blast. Probably could have spent another hour there!

The finished product. She was so proud!

This was Jack's favorite thing to do there. You put a pig on a parashoot on a clip then you pull the rope up and it goes into the cone and the clip comes off and the pig floats down. He had a blast!

So fun!
