Denver Children's Museum

One of my missions while we were all on leave was to visit as many of the "sights" that we've been missing as we could. After all, we were free on weekdays, when everything is so much quieter -and it is, it was great! Anyway, one of the highlights for E was the Children's Museum in August.

Their big feature this summer was a water exhibit, which of course gained my attention. It was fun, and E would have liked to do more, actually...

E really liked this, which was just PVC that you could move around to make the water flow down different ramps. Obviously Ray was entertained as well. We should probably just build one...

E would also like to have this fishing game in his house.

He was impressively good at it, and VERY persistent. (E, that is, although I just realized that Ray has both rods in this pic).

Speaking of persistent, E would wait for FOREVER to catch one of these bubbles.

Success! Look at those determined little shoulders.

This was the highlight for the adults:


T and I had to stay out of the soap filled slippery room, so we have to go back for our turn. Soon.

I would never have thought the pretend grocery store would be such a hit, but here you go:

Cracker and dairy shopper extraordinaire. Carbs and dairy, just like his mama.

And then there was the woodland playground. I had to take E through the intimidating tunnels the first time, and then this rabbit came out and dragged Ray through.


There was even fun to be had outside after the museum closed.



(Hopscotch, the chalkboard cow. Ray's signature duck on her shoulder.)

Follow that up with dinner at the alehouse (probably my first whole beer in a LONG time) and it was a pretty awesome day for all of us!
