day at the museum

While in SA on our visit a few weeks back we used our Groupon at McKenna Children's Museum in New Braunfels. It was wonderful and such a great place for my aged kids! We spent all day there and easily could have stayed a few more hours..I will definitely go back there sometime soon!

Anna and Lisa rode with us there and it was fun seeing the girls get so excited about seeing eachother. The Webbs also joined us for the day..We always love pretending Kendall is our baby.. and HB has lots of cute clothes handed down from Mason! We miss going to lunch and having playdates with them!

While we were there they played trains, doctor, shopped in 'HEB', went camping, saw alligators be fed mice and lots of other fun things.

really, this is the best pic I got of them...there was just too much to look at and play with!

They dressed as bats and 'flew' off the rocks! It was a really cute idea! It made me want to make one of those for a costume for a future Batman!

HB drove the ambulance and loved turning on the lights and siren. He would get so tickled at himself when he heard it go off!

Anna checked out her customers at the HEB store..that would have been my favorite part of the museum hands down back in the day! I always wanted to be a check-out girl and bag groceries! (I know, I was quite the dreamer!)

Snake Farm made an appearance at the museum..lucky us!..and we got to see snakes, iguanas and turtles up close and personal!

The snake handler's daughter was there and walked the python around for all the kids to pet..it was a great way for them to feel comfortable with it!

HB loves to play hide and seek! He finds his hiding spots all over the place! He always has a sweet smile when he is found!

HB found this giant toothbrush in the teeth and health section..gross!

E also did a check of her body fluids/fat levels and we were happy to see she is HEALTHY!!

Emmaline found the face painting area and proceeded to paint everyone's face, both cheeks. It was really cute and I was impressed with her art. They even had a booklet to pick out what you wanted to have painted. Great idea for a party!

G loved playing on this train table..she was quite the engineer with it all!

My Mad Scientist! He sat here for forever and played with the microscope..I loved watching his feet swing back and forth..(it's like a sign of excitement, like when a dog wags his tail!)

G was loving the nursery they had..it was so real and she had to climb into the baby cradle things..she loves to be the baby!

Finally, my boy in the nursery rocker! He is a drooling machine..getting lots of teeth right now, I think he has about 12 poking through.
And to think we never made it outside to the water features and foam pits! Next time when the wind isn't so cold!
