Matt, Christen, Derek & Rylie

Children's Museum
Derek's favorite place at the Children's Museum was the Noodle Forest. He would run through the noodles (bumping into whatever got in his way) until he reached the other side. Then would turn around and run back. Matt had to chase Derek so that he wouldn't run into other kids or objects. He was squealing with delight!!

 "Oh I see, so this is how the Noodle Forest is made!"

The 3rd floor is dedicated to imaginative play and we spent the entire day on that floor. Guess we'll be back to explore the other floors another time.

Derek is just so much fun! He gets excited about everything and such a happy boy. I love to watch him explore and discover things on his own. It was such a fun family trip to the museum. We can't wait to come back!! (Derek looks so tired in this picture because we it right before we left the museum. He took a 3 hour nap when we got home!)
