A trip to the Children's Museum

We had a great outing this morning! Handley and I went with our friends Avery and Tiara to the Imagine It! Children's Museum downtown. The girls had so much fun exploring all of the exhibits.

There were all sorts of things for the children to see...some of the highlights were:
  • a farmer's stand and life-sized truck to drive the veggies to town in
  • a tractor
  • moon sand (the coolest stuff EVER...kind of a mix between sand and play-dough)
  • a painting station
  • tap dancing area (with real tap shoes they could try on and play with)
  • musical instruments
  • a giant water play area with fishing poles, boats, fish, and frogs
  • vegetable gardens where they could help grow and pick the vegetables

Handley really enjoyed the moon sand and the painting, but LOVED the water play area and couldn't get enough!

It's right downtown, across from the Centennial Olympic Park and right near the Aquarium and World of Coke.
