Fort Worth Children's Museum

Today, I found a new slice of kiddy heaven... the Fort Worth Children's Museum. AWESOME!

Jen Wells and I just couldn't take another day of McDonalds or swimming in luke-warm pools due to the lovely Texas heat... so we decided to brave it with all the kids and head to downtown FW to check out the children's museum. And we were not disappointed, folks... we both left as year-long season pass holders and can now take friends with us for free... woo-hoo! So... come one, come all... we're excited about some air-conditioned fun!

And another great thing... you can bring in your own food and drinks. So our strategy is to be there when it opens at 10am... let the kids play... have picnic lunches... then back home for nap time. Perfect. =) This will be a weekly thing for us, I'm sure.

Here's Reid and I taking self-portraits...

The museum was perfect for our little people... there were block tables, block rooms, train tables, water tables, a Dino Dig sand pit, ambulances to drive, kid grocery stores to shop in, dinosaur exhibits, outdoor play areas, indoor play areas... the list goes on and on and on...

Reid was so excited and running around like a wild man, so I only had time to snap a few pics with the trusty iphone (and of course, he couldn't take time to smile for the camera)... Here's Reider loving the block tables...

Attempting to hula-hoop because he saw some older kids doing it...

And the room of train tables was, BY FAR, his favorite place to be... (I wish I had gotten some more pics of the train room, but Reid was very busy bossing around the older boys and taking away all their trains... I was having to mediate. Sharing is a skill we're still working on... ha.)

When we were leaving, I sat him in his seat as I loaded the rest of the car... Before I could even start the car to leave the parking lot, here's what I found:

Most handsome little guy in all the world! What a fun mommy/son day out!
