Museums

We love going to the Children's Museum. We usually go about twice a month. I took Caroline, Owen and Tim there one morning before Tim went to school. Caroline is able to play on her own all over which is good since I spend my time chasing after Owen. 

Owen playing in the baby area.

"Here I come Mom!"

Tim showing Owen how to send the balls down the slide.

Climbing on the blocks.

Caroline loves the big bubble area.



Paul and I got the kids out early one Saturday morning to get to one of our favorite breakfast places before the rush. We learned we have to get there around 8:15 a.m., this is not easy, but worth it! After breakfast we took them to the Public Museum which has a really cool Mars exhibit right now. Owen missed his morning nap, but was a trooper and had a lot of fun. Caroline loved running around the museum and seeing all the exhibits.
Ready for breakfast.

So happy to be having orange juice!

Caroline loved the "Old Streets of Grand Rapids" exhibit.

especially the grocery store

Checking out the old trolley car.

Awesome view of the Grand River and downtown.


Seeing what it would be like to walk on Mars.

Seeing how close she would have to sit to daddy on a spaceship.

Owen was in the stroller most of the time, so he was super happy to find a place perfect for him.


Owen LOVED his first carousel ride!

He held on like this for the whole ride. Although towards the end his facial expression changed a bit,  I think he was getting a little queasy...he spit up on Paul about 10 minutes later.
