Ape Crawl

Silas is coming out of his baby shell...

We went to the Children's Museum of Tacoma today (we LOVE that place!) And both kids played completely different than they did last time. They have 5 different playscapes: woods, water, invention, voyager, and and art studio. Grey usually gets held up as soon as she enters the doors in at Woods. This time, she was all over the place!

Si. I usually have to hold him or have him in the Gerry pack the whole time. This time he was on the floor, playing with tons of stuff, splashing in the Water section. Loving it.
So I was too.

Here is the crawl vid I got. Best one so far...(although quite shaky, specially at the beginning sorry!)



Yeah, I'm totally being "Cheerleader Mom" here. Ugh. Annoying to hear myself!! I was talking with some girls beside us who were working there. They were cheering him on. So a lot of the talking (to them) might not make sense as you listen to a one sided conversation. But, Silas...he looks good.  ;)

Can't believe he's crawling! I have 2 kids getting into everything!!

Here are some pictures of more museum fun:

This is the tip of an old timey airplane looking, thing.You have to crawl though a netted tube to get to it. Grey is on the phone here. There are about 5 phones throughout the areas and they're all connected to each other. So she is probably telling someone, 

"Brrruubabh lanaana ddriizaanana, shoes. Bye."

She got completely soaked. Don't think the smock helped at all! Si had fun splashing too. This is about the 3rd of the water area (it's not huge.) There were tons of kids in there, but Grey still managed to be the crazy! She had one mom cracking up as she kept continuing to drink the water and I continued to try and stop her. She won. Till she started dunking her hair - I won and ended that one! We had a lot of fun though.  ;)

The interest in the simplicity of life keeps me constantly taking pictures of these two. And many videos of Si as he is discovering. Here he is entertaining himself as Grey gets into some clay...

He loves to drum.

And we love the Children's Museum! If you are in Tacoma (or even if you aren't) it's worth a visit! It's graciously on a donate as you can. So please go and support it! Such a blast for the kids...

Lunch and ladybugs ends our adventure. Till after naptime...
