Afternoon at the Museum

3 weeks ago, Annie and I made a trip to the Louisville Science Center.  It was a trip that she had earned because she had slept through the night for 10 consecutive nights.  (There had been some issues.)

We were a little concerned that there would be nothing for a 3 year old to do, and had considered making the trek to the Indy Children’s Museum.  However, we had promised a “Museum” and we had already delayed too long, and were afraid she might revolt if we didn’t pay up soon.

Long story short, if it weren't for an exhibit called Kidzone, it would have been a very long (or short?) afternoon.  The Kidzone is essentially a glorified playground, with a model TARC bus that the kids can play in, an ambulance with doctor’s “stuff” in the back, an airplane with kitchen and real seats, etc.  Annie’s favorites were the ambulance and the bus (which was inexplicably full of babies, making it more than a little creepy).

A couple favorite quotes from the day:

Annie: (While driving bus passengers to the hospital for treatment):  “I am the bus driver AND the doctor.” 

-------------

Annie: “What is this place?” 

Me: (somewhat excitedly): “It’s Chemistry Kitchen!”

Annie: (Without a pause): “Let’s get out of this Chemistry Kitchen.”
