A Rainy Saturday

There are so many activities to do in Kansas, we got spoiled. Coming back to Jacksonville, its seems as if our only choices of kid entertainment is the pool or browsing Target (which is too dangerous for me!). We did happen to find the Hands-On Children's Museum last weekend though. I've known about it, driven by it, thought it looked like a dive bar (and actually located next to one!), so never went to it. But with Levi being off work for a few weeks when we got home, we needed to do something, especially since we had a rainy spell. So we finally checked it out. It was definitely overpriced, but fun nonetheless. Alot of the activities would've been much more fun if our kids were about 6 or 7 years old, but they still made the most of it!

Grant had never been in a ball pit before, so he thought this was pretty cool. It was actually an old set-up from a McDonald's playplace, complete with slide and tunnels.  McDonald's hasn't had ball pits since I was young, so you can only imagine how old this one was!

There was a "toddler room" that had little ride on toys and smaller climbing toys and this little tiny ball pit. Wyatt tried climbing in, but couldn't make it, so I lifted him in there and then he just sat like this- never moved a muscle. Then he wanted out. Although, he did like reaching in and throwing the balls out!

This Firetruck room was probably the most exciting for the boys.  There was a firetruck and ambulance set up, complete with a "burning house."  

Grant got into the role playing pretty well. Wyatt just like the dalmatian dog.

There was a stage and dress up area, but the only costume Grant liked was "The Thing."

There was this basketball area, with wheelchairs to play wheelchair basketball. But it was also good for practicing slam dunks with Daddy.

Here is Grant reporting the news. There was a little camera displaying his image on a TV on the wall across from the table. He didn't really care too much for this, but I thought it was a cute picture!

We probably won't ever be back at this museum, but it helped us pass a rainy Saturday!
