Dude, seriously. Where did you learn to drive?

We had the weekend off and spent some time at the local kid’s museum. It was actually pretty awesome. There wasn’t much museum going on, but there were tons of toys. There was a huge network of vacuum tubes with which you could move balls from one bucket to another bucket, a play house with a kitchen, dining room, and living room, a market with cash registers, a farm with chickens and a life size horse, a huge crane that worked with gears and pulleys, a news studio with green screen, music studio, theater, I can’t remember what else. But we had fun. Plus it’s located at the mall, which is my favorite place ever, so afterward we got an Orange Julius and looked at the clothes at Anthropologie. Good stuff. Violet dug our day out. She’s not quite playing with other kids, but she’ll watch them and do what they’re doing- I’m pretty sure folks call it parallel play. It’s cute, especially when it’s a 12 year old she’s mimicking.

It sounds like a terrific place. About the only place designed specifically for kids that I can remember when ours were little was the kid’s library. Of course, we went to the zoo and the parks (I.F. has great parks and lots of them). I imagine my boys would have still ended up building explosives even if they had a neat place like this to visit. They were very creative children.

There was a children’s museum in Spokane that is very entertaining. Next time you come we could check it out. Do you remember OMSI in Portland. They always had a program for learning.
