We first visited The Children’s Discovery Museum in Bloomington when Patrick was a year old. Mac was just three and very hesitant. He didn’t want to do too much as everything ‘scward’ him. Patrick was pretty adventurous and had fun, but was so young he’s since forgotten and didn’t remember going.
We decided to return, this time with friends.
Mac’s response to putting his hand in the ‘blue thing’ the first time we went.
It went much better this time!!
His other fear last time was this cool drum. You place your hands on the sensors and your heartbeat is beat out by the drum. It freaked him out last time he wouldn’t go near it. He actually walked out of his way to avoid it when passing. He definitely thought it was awesome this time.
Their first time on the combine. Mac did love this his first time.
This time I had to force him up there for a pic. He just had no interest in it.
Patrick’s first visit to the toddler area.
He’s grown up quite a bit in three years!
After the museum, we went to the splash pad. Jude fell asleep so we had to stick by the van while he napped, therefore, I couldn’t follow the big kids around and take a million fun pics of them. So here’s the shot before leaving!
Our friends.
And our wacky friends!
As always, a completely narrated photo tour of the trip is here. Enjoy! We did. 🙂
