Flint Childrens Museum

Ahh, the joys of owning a home! There is always so much to do, and so little time, especially if you have a little one running around. You always want to spend as much time as you can with them, but you also want to be able to get some things done after the purchase of your new house, especially after the one we bought : ) I decided to take Connor to the Flint Children's Museum with a friend so we could get out of Ryan's hair for a little bit and explore some more of our city.

It's not the biggest children's museum we've ever been too, but it had a lot of things he enjoyed doing. When we first got there (after an hour drive + a lunch pit stop) we went over and built with blocks. From there, we explored the bug room, marbles, weights, a supermarket, dress up, musical instruments, a playhouse and so much more. It was definitely worth the drive, and since we have a Science Museum membership, very little cost!

Block time

Using his imagination : )

We decided to start over

We spent quite a while here!

The moving puppets

All about pulleys

He's too impatient to watch it swirl, he just throws it :p

Racing with Colin

Magnet fun

Helping make the silly faces

Teamwork!

Balacing Act

First stop in the bug room, ladybug toss!

Bug catchers, lookout!

Those were real ants

Pretty sweet goggles, huh?

Learning about bugs

Using shapes to fill in the ladybug

Dress up time!

He's not amused with me : )

Puppets

Brushing the teeth

This freaked me out!

Instrument time!

Seeing which every day thing makes noise

He really enjoyed this part

See...

Again...

And again : )

If you stepped on a circle, they each made different music

911, what's your emergency??

The little kid area, I think he's too big now : )

Time to check out, don't forget your receipt Mom!

Too cute

He knows what this one says : )

Hope that gas isn't as expensive :p

Mail time!

Pizza, pizza

He LOVES dressing up

A firefighter AND a pilot : )

Red light, green light

Just being Connor : )
