Playing..Such a Precious Gift

Anna Mei had a five minute appointment to pick up her glasses at the U the other morning.  Because it is quite a drive, I decided to take advantage of the day by taking the girls to play at the local children's museum.  It did not disappoint.  Being with my girls playing and enjoying their company fills my heart so much.  I can't help but think that I really wasn't ever planning on being here in such a place during this phase of my life.  How I am so grateful that God didn't follow my plans because watching these babies is such a miraculous blessing to me!

 The grocery store play area is always a favorite with this one.

 The baby nursery was a favored stop too.

 These two were adorable making pizza side by side to serve up to me at my table.

 Anna Mei included mushrooms on hers...my favorite.

 The flight room was Anna Mei's all time favorite.  She loved the flight simulator.

 Molly was just tall enough on her tippy toes to get this ball high enough to float in the air coming out of the shoot.  She thought it was hilarious!

 Driving the various vehicles was a hit wtih  Molly all day too.  I made her an experience book about it as she loved driving everything.

Building vertically is such a great play scenario to build core strength muscles.  Molly loved it, and it left me wanting a vertical lego wall at home.

 She was darling building this car.

 It was the end of the day and she was getting tired.

It was a great way to spend our day.  We can't wait to have Jilly with us here as there are some exhibits she will enjoy.  They even have a free night once month for kiddos with special needs so I think this may be a place we go to play often as it was so much fun.
