THE CHILDREN'S DISCOVERY MUSEUM

Cameron has been off of school for the past 2 days so we've been looking for fun things to do to fill the time. Today we decided to take a trip to The Children's Discovery Museum in Normal, Illinois. We were there one other time this past summer and the kids really liked it so we decided it was time to check it out again. There are tons of things to keep all 3 kids busy and happy..............

These magnetic things were a big hit with all 3 kids.

(Notice how all 3 of them are wearing some sort of shade of green on St. Patrick's Day. It was a big deal getting dressed this morning and finding something green. Rena told Maleah that hers was actually blue and not green, but I was able to convince Maleah that it was bluish-green and would pass for green on St. Patrick's Day!)

The girls love everything about this painting wall......paint, squirt, squeegee, paint, squirt, squeegee......over and over again!

Rena had fun riding bikes with the skeleton.

Maleah had fun with the air exhibit. You are really suppose to point the tube up and put a ball or towel over it and watch how it stays up in the air, but Maleah just liked it blowing on her and messing up her hair!

All 3 kids had fun at the pizza restaurant. Rena was in-charge of answering the phone and taking the orders and Maleah and Cameron made the pizzas, cooked the pizzas and served the pizzas. At one point I had about 10 pizzas in front of me at my table and when another mom tried to sit down beside me Maleah pointed out to her that she made all of those pizzas for her mom -- I guess she thought I was really hungry -- I was willing to share though!

We also had the pleasure of seeing our friends Stephanie and Aiden Fernandes while we were there at the museum. Unfortunately Amaya was at school, but we were happy to spend a few hours with Stephanie and Aiden!

The kids are already looking forward to and planning our next trip back to the museum!
