Tucson Childrens Museum

Grayson and I went to the Tucson Children's Museum today.  It's been soooo cold here this week that it was a good chance to get out of the house and see something new.  Of course we also had to hit up Costco there in Tucson! :)  When we got to the museum Grayson gave me this look.  Maybe he didn't care for the cold... who knows!  He likes to give that ornery face though these days, just like his father!  Our friends Anna and Julia came along with us and the kiddos definitely had fun!

There was a animated floor at the museum with plants and bugs.  The bugs would move when it sensed movement by it.  Grayson thought it was pretty funny to see the things scurry away when he tried to "catch" them.

There was a train engine that the kids could climb in.  Grayson loves tunnels these days so he had a blast going in and out of the train engine.  They had other train toys there too for the kids to play with that he enjoyed.

There was a little "Vet Clinic" that the kids could pretend to be vets and take care of the stuffed animals.  Grayson wasn't too sure what everything was but liked exploring it.

 They spent a long time in the "Grocery Store".  Grayson loved that he was big enough to stand at the shopping cart and drop things in.  He kept trying to pull the few things out, but realized he couldn't get to them very easy so he started to just dump lots of corn into his basket.  Later on he found the oven and thought it'd be fun to climb in it since he could climb onto the door when it was down.  They could have just kept on playing there, but we made them leave to see one more exhibit before it was time to go.  

Even though there was still about half the museum we never saw, the last exhibit we checked out was the "Rainforest".  It was a small area for kids under 4 to climb on things and the walls and ceilings were decorated like the rainforest.  There was speaker boxes on the walls that would make animal sounds when you pushed the buttons as well.  

It was a fun day at the Children's Museum and we'll have to go back again soon since we didn't see about half of it.  Too bad it's an hour drive otherwise Grayson and I would take Daddy tomorrow since his class was cancelled due to the cold!  Can you believe it?!  No school because of the cold in Southern AZ!?  Craziness!  Thank goodness it's supposed to warm back up this weekend and be in the high 60's on Sunday.  Maybe Grayson and Julia can play in the sandbox again while all the boys watch football :)
