Sacramento Children's Museum

 So you know it was a great experience when I come home from an adventure and all I want to do is blog about it!! Our adventure today consisted of the Sacramento Children's Museum. Both Gabby and Mike were skeptical about this place and its price ($7.00 for anyone over the age of 1). Let's just say it was so awesome that both Gabby and I came home with memberships! LOL This place was AMAZING!! Although the word museum is kind of a misnomer, I honestly don't know another word to describe this place. It had everything from music time to painting,to a ball vacuum, to water tables, to a post office, and a grocery store!! The kids had a blast and we actually did too!

I think the painting was my personal favorite.  It was so cool to let the kids just have at the paint (minus when Jacob wanted to eat it). The middle picture is Memo and Jacob's final masterpiece. Obviously Jacob got my painting skills and not Tutu's. It was so funny in this station to see the innate difference between boys and girls. Jacob was getting the paint everywhere and Memo would say "oh no" if she got a little on her hands.  It just cracked me up.

 

Jacob's favorite station was the water station...I'm not sure if he liked drinking or playing in the water more. It was pretty nice cause they had water smocks to protect clothing (I'm not that kind of mom) and life jackets (which Gabby and I have no idea why, lol).  There was a wooden boat there too, which Jacob and Memo had a blast playing on.

There was a little section for 3 and under only, which I found a little odd since majority of the kids fell into that age group. Anyways, that's where they rode the cows and found this seesaw! We didn't even need to show them how it worked... they just knew!! They're getting so big!!

Here's a close up of Michelangelo at work. I love the focus he has in this photo.

It was honestly a great day...minus that both kids barely napped afterwards!! We are blaming it on the Panera mac n' cheese because that's what we had for lunch.  I can't wait to go back!!! (To the Children's museum, not Panera)
