The Children's Museum

Having learned from our trip to Greece that we need to incorporate Alyssa friendly activities, Alyssa and I went to the San Antonio Children's Museum while Dan was at his conference. This was really a fun museum. The top picture is of the "grocery store". There are child sized carts, and items that they can pick off the shelves, including fruits and vegetables (of the plastic variety). They even have a scanner at the checkout so kids can scan their items just like at the real grocery store. Our girl's favorite part was putting things in the cart. She didn't care too much for putting them back on the shelves. The second picture she is coloring a heart that we gave to Dan for Valentine's Day. The third picture is of Alyssa looking at an alligator, which she called "dinosaur". I couldn't convince her that it wasn't. We had to go back three or four times for her to look at her dinosaur. The last picture is of the fish tanks in the front of the museum. Other fun things we did included playing a virtual drum set, finger painting, and building a small house. After we left the museum Alyssa wanted to go to the water.
