Kalamazoo Museum!

Gaetan's advisor asked him if he could drop him at an appointment the next morning and pick him up since he had to get a procedure done that the Dr's didn't want him driving himself afterwards.  We had made plans to see Amy and Brian one more time for lunch before their flight in GR so while G ran that errand for his advisor I took the kids to the museum downtown.  We had been down there before when Dude was smaller but their children's museum worker made the visit less than desirable.  We had given it a few chances but every time we went she would just follow us around and clean up everything right after we were done.  He had made this block thing to show me and when we came it was already cleaned up.  He was pretty disappointed... :(  But, now that the kids are older and we were going to be in that part of town anyway we thought we'd give it another go!














The kids LOVED it.  They actually had a lot more fun with the actual museum than the children's museum part.  They loved exploring all the different exhibits and trying everything out.  They learned what an old school phone looked like and how it worked, even with the operator!  It was a really good time and it wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be.  The museum is free and it's downtown so sometimes it's really busy, but today wasn't too bad.























Per usual the kids favorite part was the science part, where we did experiments.  I felt pretty good about this part because since moving we have been not doing a lot of school stuff... and they absolutely loved it!  Good to know for when the weather gets crappy out :) :)
