an outing

Today we checked out a new children's museum in our area.  I recently found out that with our membership to our children's museum, we could get into this other one (about a half hour away) for free, so we tried it out.

It was small, but for free, it was definitely worth it!  :)   We'll definitely go back sometime--it would be great for a rainy day (or a hot day, like we've been having!).

The girls had a great time.  The pictures are blurry because they were always moving!  I couldn't get either of them to hold still or take the time to get a decent picture because I was constantly chasing Rebecca, but you can still get the idea.

Rachel, my dress up queen, loved all of the costumes.  She was a train engineer,



...an eye doctor...

...and also a firefighter and police woman, but I didn't get pictures of those.

Rebecca spent a LOT of her time climbing in and out of chairs.

See what I mean??





Rachel loved the farmer's market section

...and she gave me a news broadcast (with no help from her little sister, who just got in her way).

She was painting at this construction site, while Rebecca played firefighter for awhile with the fire extinguisher (which ended up in her mouth over and over)...

...and the fire hat, which she kept taking on and off so fast that I couldn't get a good picture (this one I snapped as quickly as I could from standing up because by the time I would stoop over to take it, she always had it off!).

It was a fun morning, and both girls behaved really well, which makes it so much easier to go places!  Now they're both resting.  Ahhhh......rest for me, too!
