A Day at the Children's Musem

Last week, while my mom was in town, we spent the day at the Children's Museum in St. Paul. It is definitely a toddler's paradise, that's for sure. I think we only saw about 1/3 of the museum before the late afternoon hit, and we had to head home. It is HUGE! I knew that Joel would have a blast exploring everything and he did, but what I didn't expect was the fact that Grant decided he was going to be an active participant as well. (he was really too young for most things we saw, but he is 10 mos, going on 2, so the kids 3 to 5 times his size running everywhere, nearly trampling him, did not phase him in the least.) But again, I am pretty sure he has no clue he is 10 mos old... his only concern was that he HAD to be doing whatever Joel was doing.

My cousin's son, Drake and his grandma, met us there. Here is Drake and Joel, looking in at an exhibit.

Grant, eating everything, of course... lovely...

Joel, collecting balls, so no one else could find any, giving Grant only the dented balls to play with.
