Children's Museum

Amidst the family routines, we are trying to show our Aussie friends a good time here in the Burgh. It was a day that started off with freezing rain, so we decided to take a trip to the Children's Museum today. It was packed there, but a great choice for all 3 boys despite the busyness there. They all had a lot to enjoy there. Nic and V were so impressed by the facility and all it offered, we were so happy they were pleased with it. We will probably take the boys back next week again it was such a big hit!
Koen was very brave and climbed up this "spider web" in the Garage Workshop room. He got stuck halfway up and Doug had to talk him through it. Finally he made it up to the top, but he was pretty shaken up. Douglas is a great Dad though and got him settled in just a few minutes of reassurance.
Koen always love the "Garage Workshop" room. There is usually a Mini Cooper there to play in. Today it was an exciting suprise that they had replaced it with a Smart Car! Koen quickly hopped into line to work on the vehicle and pretend to drive it.
Tavin was a trooper as usual. It was so loud and chaotic at the museum that he didn't get a chance to fall asleep for his morning nap. He spent quite a bit of time hanging out in the stroller with his blanket though resting. The rest of the time he was pleasant and enjoyed exploring the Baby Floor they have there.


The older boys absolutely loved the water room. This was probably a favorite for both of them. There aren't many pictures of the boys playing together because they each found favorites along the way throughout the museum to stop at and explore, but in the water room we all met up, had some fun and then headed on to the cafe area for our packed lunch (thank you, Douglas, it was great!). Another great morning for our family and as friends. So much fun having this little break from our normal routine to share time with these dear friends.
