Trip to the Children's Museum

One afternoon, we ventured out to the Children's Museum in The Woodlands. It's much smaller than the one downtown and much easier to keep a watch on my very active-constantly moving-never stay in one place for longer than a minute-sweet girl :)

So many different things to do - full of wonderful sensory-filled activities

oh how she loves to play in sand and water....

Just a glimpse into all the future possibilities of who our sweet girl could become...



Watch out....Future Firefighter here

Or maybe an architect
She was so proud of her design (completed all by herself)


Her Majesty....

Performing her own little puppet show
And last, but not least...maybe a scientist or robotics engineer.
I couldn't help but just sit back and watch in wonderment as I watched Maggie figure this out all on her own. As far as I knew, none of the other kids had been working on this, so I just knew that when Maggie went up to the magnetic board that she wouldn't know what to do. Boy was I wrong.  I wish I had a before picture because you would then see how incredible this finished product truly is.  These are all magnetic wheels that when placed in just the right position, they will turn at the same time. She arranged these wheels one by one, placing them close to each other and testing them out by turning them as she went.  In the end, about 15 minutes later, she had managed to put this together and with the move of one wheel, the whole board turned. Simply amazing. 


What a wonderful day of adventure. We will definitely be going back there again soon.
