Have I Mentioned How Much I LOVE Children's Museums???

This post was going to just be pictures of our latest adventure at a children's museum, but then I realized that not all children's museums are equal.  While that may seem obvious, I learned that it doesn't have as much to do with the museum as it does with the parents.  At the first three museums the parents were WITH their children, helping them, playing with them, directing them,  interacting with them.  At this last one, most of the parents were hands-off, just letting their children run around.  Now, in theory, that is exactly what a child should be able to do in a children's museum, but there are a couple of things (sharing with others and cleaning up after yourself) that a little parental guidance can help with, making things nicer for everyone.  All of that to say, if you take your child to a children's museum, go WITH him/her, enjoy it WITH him/her.
Needless to say, we had a wonderful time at our latest children's museum.



Now how does this work???

This was a stethescope that when put to a sensor on the body would make the sound (heart beat, stomach growl...).  He is laughing because he found that one that passes gas :)
