Children's Museum

Last week Reese and I attended Baby Bloomers at the Austin Children's Museum. Technically, the museum is closed each Monday--except for their special toddler clientele.

This was my first visit to the museum and I think I was more excited than Reese--at least initially. After finding parking downtown (it's own mini-adventure), we walked a few blocks while checking out the "big buildings" to the museum.

I had heard stories of overcrowded visits to the museum and after our visit I can understand why. The setting was the perfect size for the small toddler crowd (pun intended), but I imagine that it can get crowded with big kids rather quickly.

Reese wasn't interested in any of the air exhibits, but had a ton of fun playing with the ball ramps as well as a display that I can only liken to a giant Light Bright.

I can't say we'll be making it a regular part of our routine, but it was a fun side trip, and I can see that the museum will have much more to offer her as she gets older.
