Fun at The Children's Museum in Seattle!

Today is President's Day & the Fox boys are out of school. Since Josiah & Grady go to school on opposing days, we never get to spend too much time together. We decided to spend the day together at The Children's Museum in Seattle.

This picture perfectly describes the kind of day we had. Four of us had fun & one had fun doing everything...um...different. Can you figure out which one it was?

Josiah enjoyed playing in "Cog City."

Cog City was cool because he got to watch & learn as a maze of lifts, levers & pipes move balls throughout this exhibit.

He really enjoyed that at the press of a button he could make this beach ball float.

Josiah placed a ball in this hole & it shot the ball all the way through the pipes on the wall. Super cool!

Next, we headed into "Mountain Forest."

In the forest, the boys got to camp in a tent, slide, discover animals & crawl through a cave.

Then, after loading the luggage, they hopped in the vehicle & headed to the "Global Village."

Josiah found a Philippine home & cooked some dinner for them.

Once he prepared the meal, he hopped on a motorcycle sidecar taxi to go to Japan.

Once in Japan, Josiah & Grady became sushi chefs at the Bento Lunch Shop.

We had a great time in the "Global Village," but figured we'd have more fun in "The Neighborhood." Josiah began making his way there by driving the Metro Bus. He let pedestrians on & off the bus.

He needed to take a stop to fill up the tank.

Once he arrived in "The Neighborhood," he needed to stock up on groceries at "The Metropolitan Market."

I was so proud of the healthy choices he made in the market.

He then unloaded his cart so Gabe could scan each item so Josiah could pay. Grady told him he was either going to pay $6 or $1000. We told him we would take the killer deal of $6.

After shopping for groceries, Josiah figured he needed to do something manly.

He went to "Dunn Lumber Construction Zone" to build. He made a staff like Moses had.

We ended our day at the museum by spending some time in "Imagination Studio." He painted three beautiful paintings for the other children at the museum to enjoy.

We had a great day at the museum!!

When we left the museum, we walked outside & the fountain at the Seattle Center was on. The boys ran right down & waited for the water to spray at them & then ran away. They did this for close to an hour. Grady was the only one to get covered in water & that was because we think he secretly wanted to.

What a great way to end a day of fun at The Children's Museum in Seattle!
