More March pictures - Phoenix Children's Museum

Christopher and Caleb had a very fun day at the Phoenix Children's Museum over spring break. It was pretty crowded and crazy, but they still had a great time. Here they are on a motorcycle that was obviously stationary but they could work the clutch and pretend to put gasoline in it.

We went outside for a picnic lunch. There were already old quilts laid out on the grass and it was a very pleasant picnic. At first the moms couldn't figure out what these concrete pipe things were for, but the boys figured something out.

One of their absolute favorite rooms at the museum was the grocery store. There were little shopping carts, a produce stand, a bin with dried peas in it that you could scoop onto a scale, a little room behind them here where you could put your groceries back and the kids could then restock the shelves, and the checkout stands where they could pass the groceries in front of a little laser light that would beep. They didn't want to leave. This picture was of both of them at the checkout stand, but Caleb's favorite thing ended up being the bulk bin with the scales and Christopher found his true calling in life as a stock boy putting the groceries back.

Another thing they had outside by the picnic area was this window stand where they could spray water on the different windows and then use little squeegies to clean the windows.



There was also a bike lane where they had different types of tricycles for the kids to ride through a pretend car wash and around plastic cones and curbing.
