Phoenix Children's Museum

A couple months back, my sister Stephanie and I went to the Phoenix Children's Museum for a fun filled morning.  I wish this museum had been around when I was a kid, because it is so fun and the kids really enjoy it.  The picture on the left is Sarah standing in the huge exhibit when you first get in the museum.  It is a huge climbing tower made out of all recycled materials.  It is hard for an adult to get around but it is possible.  Sarah is still too scared to go up by herself, but she sure likes me to come with her.

 

Peek-a-Boo!

The above right picture is of Sarah riding on a push bike.  There is a "car wash" the kids can ride all sorts of push bikes and tricycles through.  The pictures with the girls playing peek-a-boo are from a room with lots of items to make forts.

Payton is so cute in this picture:)  

The picture below with all the kids is in the craft room.  They have different crafts to do and they also have a castle the kids can paint.  You can kind of see it in the upper right corner of the picture. The craft for this day was rattle snakes.  They all made unique ones, and of course there were stickers involved which made it even more fun.

In the picture below Emily is in the room meant to be like a store.  There is also a room next to it with a pretend restaurant/kitchen with pizza making things.  This is the kids favorite 2 rooms.  There is tons of plastic food and cardboard boxes to fill up little carts with and then a few check out conveyor belts with cash registers.  There is even a stock room.

Then of course they have a room just for 2 year old kids and younger.  I like this room because it is quiet.  The only problem is I had to split my time between this room and the store/kitchen room to keep an eye on the older kids.  I really need to get GPS put on the kids when I am at this museum, this way I can go where I want and know when they leave the area I told them to stay.  Sarah loved this little room and had a relaxing time in this big green plush chair.

It was a fun day but by the end Stephanie and I were tired.  The kids of course could have stayed forever but tough cookies:)
