In an effort to do something fun that did not involve being outside in the 100+ degree weather, I took the boys (and Grammy and Grampy...because they make everything more fun!) to the Austin Children's Museum. We had never been before and both of the boys had a great time.
When you first walk in, it's a bit overwhelming...there's so much to do and discover...the boys didn't know where to start. Their first stop was at the "Tube Tunes" station...I could have stayed here the whole time!
The kids bop the different tubes with a fat sponge which causes the air to vibrate inside and create a sound. The different tubes were color coded and they had a book to read to play different songs...really cute!
Then, it was on to the wonderful world of physics! This part was full of activities that involved launching golf balls down tracks to see what would happen...the boys loved it!
On to the construction site...Gavin was cracking us up with his construction hat! He just couldn't get it to stay put! : )
"How tall am I, Mom?" Almost exactly 4 feet tall...which is evidently equivalent to...
...3 and 1/2 hammers!
In the next area, the kids could build their own vehicle and send it down the track. They could change the incline on the track to see how that affected the cars ride.
One of Gav's favorite spots...he loves trains and this was the biggest train table ever!
Another one of their favs...we are always stopping at this thing in the mall...Grammy emptied her wallet for the boys to spin the coins down into the abyss.
Last stop...the gift shop. Gavin ended up with 2 airplanes and Aidan got a couple prizes, too!
A very fun morning...and educational, too! I'd recommend it to anyone with little ones!
