Jolly Days

Today we went to the Children's Museum. We hadn't been in quite awhile because the weather has been so nice. But today was foggy, rainy and cold. Roger and I were fully expecting insanity, but luckily it wasn't too bad. The holiday exhibit area was crowded, but once we left there and headed to our regular stops the crowds thinned considerably.

We also went to see their free holiday play about a magical snowman. Grant chose seats right down front. So the actors interacted with both the kids - couldn't tell if they liked it or thought it was a little scary. This is the second play that we have seen at the museum and the kids LOVE them. I love looking at their faces, especially Grant's, and see his wonder and amazement. It's awesome. :-)

Here's a run down of the video:

Pt 1 - From Thanksgiving to New Years the museum covers their staircase with a giant slide.
Pt 2 - In the holiday area, the museum puts more of the slide material on the floor to try and duplicate ice skating.
Pt 3 - There was a "snowball" fight on the ice skating rink. Beckett was in a "mood" and didn't want to participate. But as you will see, Grant was definitely into it. :-)
Pt 4 - Beckett, our animal lover, caring for one of Santa's reindeer.
