A Day at the Children's Museum

My sweet friend Katie took Hopey and me to the Children's Museum last week for Hopey's first visit, and let me tell you, we had FUN!! In fact, it's quite possible that I had more fun than Hopey!! Katie's daughter, Madeline, and nephew, Brennan were old pros at knowing the happenings of the museum, so they showed Hopey where the action was!

Our first stop was the Lego Castle Adventure. Hopey was a little nervous for the first few minutes...
...which seemed to shock Madeline...

...but it didn't take too long before she joined in the fun!
All three of the kids were mesmerized by the dragon...
...while Katie got to know the knight a bit better!
After a super fun time in Lego Land, we found the highlight of our trip at the water area in Playscape. I had absolutely no idea that water could be so fascinating for so long!! Hopey was absolutely soaked by the time we left, but it was well worth it!

She also thoroughly enjoyed licking the water tub from top to bottom, but we don't need to share that with my mom. :)
Before we left, Brennan made the catch of the day with two fish and a boot! Sadly, the other fish and boot had already fallen off by the time I took this picture.
Finally, we finished up our fantastic day by going on a carousel ride. Believe it or not, Hopey absolutely loved it!
Katie, Madeline, and Brennan, we can't thank you enough for sharing such a wonderful day with us!!

Yeah, Hopey loves the to splash in the water. I thought it was funny that her clothes were still wet Friday night. Can't wait to see what she does on the beach in Florida. Unfortunately for her the beach doesn't have any railing to lick:)
