Monday at the Museum

Lia and Ron both had school off yesterday for President's Day and we decided to do something fun as a family.  After brainstorming a couple of different ideas, we decided to try out the Children's Museum in Tacoma for the first time.  We headed out in the morning and had a great time there!  The children loved exploring all of the different areas and playing with the water, the paints, the scarves, etc.  We wrapped up the morning with lunch at the cafe before heading home for Logan's afternoon nap.  We will definitely be visiting this place again in the future!

Logan checking out the clubhouse phone.  He loved pushing all of those buttons!

Lia and Logan LOVED the water play area and spent many minutes splashing in the water and playing with the toys.

Oh, how this boy loves water!

This museum had the coolest art section where Logan could paint a little house to his heart's content!  He looked so dang cute in his painter's apron with two brushes in hand.

The funny event of the morning was running into Molly, one of Lia's good friends from school, with her sister and mother.  The girls enjoyed playing together from that point on.  Here they are painting away!

Logan LOVED putting the balls and scarves in the crazy machine that sucked them up, pushed them through an elaborate tubing system, and then pushing them out through a different hole.  It was a hoot to watch!

Ron helped Lia and Molly make a blanket fort that the girls played in for quite some time.  Here are Molly and Lia gathering pipes and blocks to make the frame of the fort.
