Boston Children's Museum

A couple of week ago we were able to get the library passes to go to the Children's Museum here in Boston. (Hurray!) The local library has free or almost free passes to most of the museums in the area but there are only a couple for each day and the Children's Museum ones are always the hardest to get. Anyway, after hearing how much fun this place is ever since we got here we finally went to check it out for ourselves and we were not disappointed. We started off in an area designed especially for kids ages 0-3. They don't even let the older kids in so they can just run around and not have to worry about getting knocked over. Needless to say, Katelyn had a blast running around, playing with and on all the toys and talking to every other kid and adult in the place.


Enjoying the slide with daddy. She also was very into some of the dolls for quite a while.

Katelyn loves smashing her face up against things. :)

Having a great time!

Next we went to a room based on one of Katelyn's favorite shows, Peep and the Big Wide World. There is all sorts of stuff about shadows and other things they learn about on the show and a big water area based on the pond one of the characters lives in. Here are Katelyn and I with Peep. She was pretty excited to see them, though you can't really tell here, I think she was a little sad that they didn't move.


Playing in the water.

We also saw a room full of different bubbles contraptions and another where you can run golf balls on all sorts of tracks and we didn't even see half of the stuff they have there. It was a great time. Hopefully, we'll be able to get passes again before we go.

Finally, you may have noticed Katelyn's new pigtails in the earlier pictures. I recently discovered that her hair was long enough to put up this way. The best part however, is how awesome her hair looks when we take it out at the end of the day. Tyler likes to refer to it as her Wolverine look. :)
