A couple weeks ago we took a day-cation to Hammond to play in their children's museum. It was not a long ride and it was very small but it was very nice. I think Noah had a great time playing in all the attractions and Avery just liked being around lots of people.
One of Noah's favorite things to do here was making music. Each dot played a different note of music and lit up the tunnel. Avery liked to watch.
The bubble room was a favorite of all the kids. Noah liked turning the wheel and making the bubble wand fly out of the bubbles and make lots of bubbles.
After "driving" the bubbles into the air, he you also could make lots of giant bubbles with giant bubble wands and a whole tub of bubbles. We stayed at this station for a long time seeing how big we could make our bubbles.
After the bubbles it was onto the live animal exhibit. I think this exhibit changes every day when different experts bring in different animals. Today there were a bunch of baby bunnies that the kids could look at and pet. They didn't do a whole lot so Noah wasn't all the fascinated by them.
So we went to play Dr. They had a Dr station set up with all the necessary tools needed to be a Dr. They also had a some stuffed animals sitting on a table and you could give them a vets exam. This would have been a really neat station for him had he been a little older. He wasn't quite sure what to do here.
Any good Dr has to know how to perform an exam on someone arriving in an ambulance so Noah just practied his skills.
Avery just played along and went with us all around the museum. She had the best time looking at all the other kids and getting into what she could.
One of my favorite parts was the theater section. They had clothes to dress up in and a little stage. Again Noah was a little young for this section, but he did enjoy their selection of hats.
And our little diva wanted to play dress up too. She carried around this piece of cloth the entire time we were there. I had a hard time getting it out of her hands once it was time to go.
Our last stop was drawing in the pond with chalk while Avery crawled around the infant room. It was a nice day but it was time to go home and have lunch. Hopefully we will make it back there again soon.
