Some Much Needed Energy Expenditure

Since Paul took the camera with him, all I have is my phone. I took some cute pictures of the boys though today at our children's museum. I use my year pass all the time since it's so close. Benjamin had a blast, running around for a few hours, and Peter patiently went along for the ride.

Benjamin by the enclosed spray guns. You can aim the water at people here without getting wet.

One of Benjamin's favorite spots is this ball ramp. The tennis balls ring the bells along their way.

A new feature is this pipe organ that releases bubbles when you hit the keys.

And another ball ramp that hits the pans, ringing different tones.

This ball ramp is pretty cool. It plays "Ode to Joy" on chimes as the the ball slides down the ramp. And there's Benjamin, hurrying off to show us the next thing!

Oh wait, no more room on the phone for pictures! But here's a cute one of Peter that I caught after his nap. You can see how bad his eczema is today. Poor guy!

Benjamin also went down the slide, crawled through tunnels, peeked in a mouse's house, went fishing, did some grocery shopping, rang us up at the cash register, fixed a car, served us up at a pizza kitchen, played the entire percussion section of a symphonic orchestra, went for a ride in Cinderella's pumpkin coach, hammered some nails into some shoes, and sat down to feast at Beauty and the Beast's table. It was a busy morning! Little boy energy officially expended. Sleep deprived Moms are so not good for that kind of thing.
