In Life...: Checked out the Children's Museum

Yesterday our branch playgroup went to the Providence Children's Museum. I am declaring it a massive success for 2 reasons: we spent nearly 2.5 hours there (and I am sure Joseph could have stayed until closing but we went to pick up Daddy from work) and he fell asleep in the parked car! Yes the child who does not nap passed out in a car that was not moving. Usually I have to either lay in bed with him while pinning him down or drive around the entire time to get him to fall asleep/stay asleep. Not yesterday! We were sitting in the parking lot waiting for Daddy and he just drifted off - it was amazing!
Joseph loved seeing his friends from Nursery and played with them for some of the time. Mostly he went off to do his own thing, which meant I did lots of walking yesterday (which was great, honestly). We didn't even see everything since the kid found his 3 favorite areas and just went between them. He loved the air tubes in the power play section with the giant pompom balls he could put into the air tubes and laugh as they bounced about and were tossed back out. I didn't get any pictures of it unfortunately. He kept asking me for help to get the balls into the tubes.
His second favorite area was the, color me shocked (not), water room. We spent nearly an hour in there at the beginning and yes, I did have to change his clothes afterwards. Mostly because I didn't realize they had little ponchos for the kids to wear to protect their clothes. I still think he would have needed a change since he would just throw his arms up the shoulder into the water.

Whirlpool was so neat

Poncho, a little late to help

The other spot he loved was upstairs - they had trucks and cars! He could sit in the seat of a construction vehicle, play with dump trucks (they even had fake soft rocks to load into the trucks), build roads for the wooden cars, and jump up into a construction site.
